Phone Control Switch Swap on Nismo

bigaudiofanat

It's not adding the buttons to the steering wheel that is the hard part, because those buttons go into the bose system in the trunk they run through some kind of harness that mutes the bose system and answers the phone. I do not see this as an easy task at all. Of course if we had the diagrams it might be easier to figure out

So you're confirming that adding the buttons is much easier than the 350z, don't need to remove the wheel or airbag? If so that is excellent.

Obviously though that brings me back to the harness issue. The poster above seems to indicate it was a 10 minute job, leading me to believe the harness is in place, just unused. Can someone confirm that has a Nismo (or non Bose Z) if that cable exists in the trunk? I don't have immediate access to the car.

Thank you

I never said that, what i am saying is adding the buttons to the wheel would be the easier part than figuring out how to get them to work. The only way the harness would be in place is if it had the bose system. In which case the buttons should already be there if memory serves me correctly.

Figuring out how to get them to work is easy, there are several links on this forum describing exactly how - takes a few pins to short and a manual re-program of the Access unit.

I've just had a look in the 2010 Nismo trunk area, and see what appears to be a harness for an amplifier and a subwoofer, so I may be in luck! Still looking...

that is IF you already have them installed and you have the bose unit we are talking about if you want to add them to the base model where they are not already installed.

I've only glanced through the audio/nav section but, IIRC, the switches use some kind of coding to communicate with the radio (each switch is not hard-wired to the radio as a discrete input), so the new sw assembly may use the same wiring. But my memory ain't what it used to be. Let us know what you find out.
