What you need will depend on what system you have? Base, Bose, aftermarket? As for the ground loop interference, I've always used Knukonceptz wires/accessories (including their 3.5 to RCA) and I haven't experienced any of the same issues everyone else has. But, it could be a number of things causing it.

I've been meaning to check out the JoyCon... I'm still in the habit of trying to adjust the volume using the steering controls. However, I haven't found (or really looked hard) at how to wire it.

I'm having a wonderful time getting seicane to give me the correct head unit for my car. I will let everyone know once I get a confirmation.
Jayhovah and iDaRkkO like this.

Do you think this will fit? Would we need the Metra kit for a 2 din radio?

Seicane is only a good option if your head unit is unique in terms of the trim and shape.

For our 370z, our stock head units are pretty simple and square. Plus the dash kits are available if you find theres too much of a gap.

We are lucky that we can pretty much slap any double din head unit into our cars and it will fit.

You can find a better/cheaper alternative if you want a Android HU.

as others have said - you just need the plain 2DIN version. The link the guy posted in the youtube video had a vehicle specific bezel. I imagine he either removed that bezel or linked the wrong one.

To be honest I wasn’t entirely sure if “universal” would work so I was double checking...I had a feeling though.

I’m looking at getting this (cool thing is you can get a usb CD PLAYER option if you want to play CD’s that way you have more screen):

Ok don’t bite my head off I know it says universal but all the other head units are 7 inch 2 din but what about this one...

Head Unit Link

Can a 10.1 inch screen fit in a 2 din slot? It just doesn’t seem possible?

I don't think so considering with a 7", the screen takes up so much of the space available.

The unit I've looked into is called ATOTO and is available for a reasonable price in Canada. Everything seems to be decent - going to install later this week.

The 10.1" units are usually a double din body that installs where the stereo usually goes, but the screen itself plugs into the body on a hinge mechanism. The android units they rarely show a side profile and only show a head on angle. Here's an example:

It's the same thing I've seen with other manufactures. Ignore the (what fits) buy a standard double din and install it done.

I've even seen things fit that crutchfield says doesn't fit.
