installing double Din on Touring model
 

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.

If you can give me some pics I might be able to help, also dose yours have the nav system or bose?

I'm getting a Kenwood 6140 installed into my Touring on Saturday. I will be using this dash kit The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts: Aftermarket Radio Face Plate, 2009 370Z

I'll trade you for my base radio. you can install a double din in it.

I have 400 miles on my car.

looks like this:

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.:ugh2:

I have the Bose non nav.
I beleve I willneed the trim piece from a base model and then isntall the double din.
Thanks for the help and will post pics inthe afternoon.

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.

Thanks DP!
Hook us up with the pics when able!

I will post pictures of this kit with a kenwood dnx6140 installed this weekend.

I got my DNX6140 installed using the new Metra Dash Kit for Touring models.

looking good where'd u get the frame?

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.

LOOKS GREAT! It's a GREAT HU. Did you install back up cam? The dash kit looks well made. :tup:

The dash kit is nice. Matches the interior perfectly. No, I didn't get the backup cam and I regret it. Especially since it was pretty inexpensive.

Hi hi. I plan on doing the install in my touring w/ sport w/o NAV and your setup looks very good! Did you do anything special to install the deck, like rewire the bose systems? Which parts did you use besides the metra dash kit.

Thanks! Great install!

I didn't install this myself. I had it done at a shop near my house. From what I seen, nothing special was needed besides the metra dash kit to install the head unit. They did have to do some extra work with the speakers since I had the bose system but i'm not sure what was done exactly.

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