Pictures of what?

The whole process of taking the radio out and putting a new one in, you said you just "did a major install".

How much does that kind of thing cost?

Depends on what you want do you just want a head unit? Do you want a whole system?

There are countless threads about not only what to do with the bose system but how to take the dash apart which is the same for the most part for both base and bose.

you will find in most case's streaming BlueTooth audio imo the sound quailty
is not as good. even using a aux cable isn't that great.

might consider new deck with a couple of usb ports.
i don't have any pics but i use an ipod which is plugged into one
of the usb ports and hidden out of site and sounds pretty decent imo...

2011 Touring. Bluetooth and phone 3gs works fine. However, trying to use the GPS function with turn by turn directions doesn't stream. I assume that's the same issue as streaming music to the non-nav models?

I haven't messed with it to any extent, just one try so don't know if attaching the cable and going that direction would work (I assume that it would).

Thanks!

i had no idea what bluetooth audio was, and decided to try it out... was playing pandora through my 2010 navigation and sounded great... even watched some youtube. Way easier then dealing with cables, did this all through my htc evo. awesome feature I will make a ton of use out of (where service is good LOL)

was not designed for long distance driving ether foot pedals are killer wish they where adjustable.

but anyways - you know what is wired about the Z cars is that I went to the dealer and got my car, 2012 and asked them about the bluetooth stream and they said it did have it, latter on I found out you had to have the nav unit so I asked the Waukesha dealer near Milwaukee in WI - if they could put in the NAV unit radio into the car they said no they could not do it, they told me that the car had to be ordered with it in it from the factory.

which to me seems kinda wired U would think that they would be able to put a factory nav unit into there factory cars, even if they did not originally come with the factory nav radio ??

long story short i ended up putting the Kenwood DNX571HD 6.1" 2-Din AV Navigation System with Bluetooth & HD Radio

into my car and works fine, steering wheel is programmable - but no luck with the voice command stuff.


also with my radio that i got the DNX571HD it has issues playing audio books.


Those are really only two of the four complaints I have about the 370z's only other things that have annoyed me are mostly due to the nissan dealers I have dealt with which are the waukesha dealer and the janesville, wi dealer.

can any one else verify if the OEM factory nav unit and radio can not be installed into a Z after sale ?

Your first mistake, I won't say all but a large number of dealers will say anything and everything to make a sale.
While yes you can put in the factory nav in a car with one, but that's like trying to buy all the parts for a car to save in the labor for building a car. It just doesn't work that way and your better off not doing it.

Aftermarket deck. Im streaming fine.

My BT audio receiver, Aux input.
 

For my BT Audio solution on my 2014 Nismo with the Bose HU, I bought the:

HomeSpot NFC-Enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Sound System

and the

UGREEN 3.5mm Auxiliary Audio Flat Cable 90 Degree Right Angle Compatible for iPhone, iPad or Smartphones, Tablets, Media Players Black 6ft/ 2m

From Amazon. I spent less than $40.00 total. Stashed the unit under the center console, plugged the flat 3.5mm 90 deg audio cable in to the aux input.

I get the full benefit of the existing Bose Head Unit sound and satellite along with the BT Streaming audio of my choice off my Android phone, Nexus 7 or iPad air. I am very happy with the results. I don't get the HU deck controls, but the phone/tablet/iPad all have reasonable controls that come with the app of Choice. I use pandora, Amazon streaming audio and sometimes Sirius Internet radio. On Long trips Netflix or a movie play well thru the speakers. The wife enjoys the diversion while I do the driving.

Obviously i could have replaced the whole head unit. Might have been better audio quality, but in my experience the audio quality is no better or worse with the $40.00 solution of the $600-$800 solution. Feel free to challenge my assertions, but if you don't try it first you'll never know.

Just my 2 pennies worth.

:tup:

corsairprime got it :tup:

I think really just depends on your needs in terms of audio quality. If you are not happy with the stock speakers or HU, then replacing everything (BT HU, speakers, amp) is the way to go. If you're ok with the stock stuff, then an aux cable and external BT receiver is probably fine at far less cost.

How do you power the adapter? Cigarette Lighter to USB adapter?

For now, I am using the front lighter power adapter with a 12v to 5v (dual amperage) power unit. Soon, I am looking to cannibalize a 12v to 5v USB power adapter and hide everything from view. Just a matter of finding the right hardware.

Enjoy.
