Q&A's with Pic's
 

Q: Can you elaborate on how the steering wheel controls are not as good as the stock radio?

A: The PAC has a time delay, which makes you think it didn’t work, then you hit it again and it works twice. I’m getting better with the timing of how and when to hit the buttons, but it is a steep learning curve. Also my favorite thing about to stock set up was being able to flip though my radio presets. So far, me and the installer who I found to be very knowledgeable have only been able to get the steering control to seek, but not toggle thought the presets, As I would like. This is the one thing I hope a call to PAC will fix. If anyone has been able to this with their PAC please let me know.

Q: Any more information on the spacer you made to move the radio forward? What did you make it out of? Any pictures? Any detail appreciated.

A: My spacer was made out of spare parts from a Ikea lamp. But my suggestion is just to stack some washers about the size of a nickel, about a 1/4 to 3/8 of a inch high, around the mounts.


Q: Do you want to post what I need to buy and where exactly I can buy them from? Where did you buy the trim panel to go around the HU?

A: I got everything from Amazon.com. I get everything in my life on amazon.com.
No trim panel. No Trim ring. This thing fits like it’s made for a 370z.
Need to buy:
Radio
IPod cable (if you want)
PAC (If you want)
Wiring harness (Any 08 or newer Nissan is all the same)
And a antenna adaptor, for your FM antenna (Sorry I don’t have the part number), I through the bag out already, and did not order this part online.



Q: Where did you mount the GPS antenna? and do you get good reception?

A: Behind the Speedo, pic attached. It works great.


Q: Is there enough room behind the AVIC 700 for the HD radio?

A: Yes.

What does the antenna adaptor look like? Is it just an extension or is it a splitter?
Do you recognize it on this web site?

Yep, the one AK370Z posted is the right one.

I have the AVIC F700BT. What is the wiring diagram from the 370Z (base) stereo plug?
I plan on using the stock speakers, 2 in dash & 2 in doors, for now while I shop for new ones.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Speaker Question
 

It says there are 4 speakers. Are there 2 sets of 6.5" coxial speakers or are there 6.5" woofers in the doors with the tweeters up in the dash? Basically, what and where are the speakers in the base 370z. Thanks!

Two in the Doors. Size???
Two Tweets in the dash. That is it.
When you hook up the radio, you only hook up the two front speaker leads. There is some kind of cross-over, down the line. But you don't need access to it, to hook up the radio.

I guess this means if I want to install new speakers in the doors & dash, I have to rewire or I have to use the stock 370Z cross-over? I assumed the cross-over was built into the base 370 stereo unit. Does anyone know this to be true?
Do you (or anyone) know the schematic/wiring diagram from the base 370 stereo plug? I bought part #70-7552 “into car harness” from installer.com and need help in connecting this to the AVIC F700 wiring harness.

IPOD Cable
 

White 370Z,

I just got my F900BT and I'll be installing this weekend. Where did you route your iPod cable? I'd like to have it come out in the armrest, but I can't seem to find a way to make it look good. Any suggestions?

White 370Z,

Do you have the Bose speakers? If so, anyone wanting to use an aftermarket unit with the Bose speakers will need a special adapter, correct?

If so, does anyone know where to find this?

Thanks

I put my Ipod cable in the glove box. Just because mine is a lease, and I didn't want to cut or drill anything, to put it in the cubby or the center. It looks great, works great, and most important it was simple.

Nothing on this whole thread applies to the Touring model.

i want to get a aftermarket unit because i dont have navi but i dont want to loose my blue tooth, i use my blue tooth all the time any suggestions and i also dont want to loose the controls for the bluetooth and music controls on the sterring wheel

i think you can route it so that the steering wheel controls still work. but i've read that the bluetooth is not too clear and there are some delays in the controls.

Actually, the Bluetooth feature works great...and I haven't even done the whole voice recognitionSpeaker Adaptation exercise yet.
