installing double Din on Touring model

zulus370Z · 07-21-2009, 08:26 PM

Guys, I was really looking forward to installing a kenwood double din on my 370Z touring, but the stereo is bigger than the base models, therefore, its not just a plug and play.
Has anyone done a double din on a touring model, or know where to get the parts (trim piece) etc?

thanks in advance.

I honestly would have to say even though it is made for DD I would probably have to go with a single din. I would kill myself looking and playing with the screen, plus better quality audio I can get form a single din more prepossessing power for audio.

You are gonna pay about $200 if you get trim piece from Nissan. The Z store is selling the trim peice for about $50. Check the link that I posted above. I got mines about 2 days ago. I'll try to post pictures of it tonight.

I posted a link to the site where I got the frame (dash kit) above in post #3 of this thread. It was from the Z Store.

Is the headunit the only thing you installed? Where did they mount the receivers for GPS? I'm probably going to follow the same path so wanted some ideas.

Here is a link to everything I had installed. They put the GPS somewhere under the dash.
