Back to the subject, I am not sure if you have the bose system or not. I think you may. If you do than you will need a pac converter to integrate the new head unit to the bose system. The harness and antenna adapter are the same. You will need the dash kit IF you do not have a standard one in the base model and the radio is all one piece.

I'm very confused here. The OP has a 2010 Base 370Z with the Stock HU, but also has the Bose amp.. Very confused here.. the Base 370Z is not supposed to come with any of the Bose stuff...

If it cant hit the highs and it cant hit the lows, then it must be a Bose!

DeEePiDDY has it right, I can't understand why a Bose amp is there when I have the basic-basic factory radio, is this normal? Secondly, does this offer me any opportunities for upgrades?

Is the head unit even hooked up to the amp?

Not really like I said if you want to add a new head unit and have bose than you have to use a pac converter between the harnesses. If you ever want to put in new speakers you will have to run new speaker wire from your head unit to them to bypass the bose system. If you want to add a sub and have bose you have to use a LOC or what I recommend a MTX re-q to add the amp and sub.

For the moment let's put the discussion of a new HU on hold. If the Bose amp actually works and the mystery cables under the hatch trims are really for rear speakers and they are actually live, couldn't I use them as a convenient source to feed a low profile self powered sub under one of the seats? If so I'd be a step closer to my goal of an all new system without having to pop for the HU and the self powered sub at the same time. And yes, when I eventually do get a new HU I'll probably just eliminate the Bose amp.

You should read about some of the bose owners and what they have to do to add things. Even if it is a low output it is still being processed threw bose and that cuts anything it sees as a threat to its speakers out. That is a big down fall for bose anytime you want to add amps to a bose system you need to use a JL clean sweep or more preferred a mtx re-q or re-q5. So you would need them to clean the signal before sending them to a new amp. I would still like to see a picture of your head unit. If it is a base than that is what you have.

I haven't tried posting pics yet, but I've got a 2010 base model with the A7 and sport package. That's it. I've seen many pictures of the HU on this site and mine looks like all of the others-doesn't have a SAT button, no Bose labeling on the HU and no aux inputs in the console. It does have a front mounted aux audio only input jack for ipod/mp3 player.

I agree, just keep wondering about that Bose amp lurking behind and between the seats.

Maybe there was a HU swap at the dealer...someone wanted the Bose deck and you didn't?

Highly doubt it either swap is a lot of work and would not be cheap.
