DIY: Bose Touring Stereo (NON NAV) iPod Interface Upgrade: iSimple Media Gateway

Spartan 1771 · 07-11-2012, 04:25 PM

I still haven't gotten around to adding the HD Radio adaptor. Although I have a garage, it isn't air conditioned, and the heat has been unbearable the last few weekends.

They keep telling me, "it should work..." It's a special order so they won't let you return it if it doesn't.

Description:
Fits this vehicle: 370Z (Z34)
2009+

To my knowledge, this will not work.

Thanks Spartan for your DIY! It was very helpful and just installed my kit tonight!

I do however have one issue and was wondering if anyone has come across an issue like this. The only option I have when scrolling via the 'Sat' button is 'Aux1'. I have lost my XM Radio function and I can't get 'IPOD' to show. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers guys. I have a 2010 370z 40th Ed, if that makes a difference.
Also, thanks again Spartan!

I've had issues once in a while (maybe once or twice a month) where when i start the car, my stereo does not recognize the Media Gateway. Only way I've found to fix that is to turn the car off and back on. That doesn't sound exactly like your problem dstyle.... but thought i'd share just in case it is somewhat similar to your problem.

Good Luck.

Thanks Adam for the tip but I've found the problem. It was me... I had the switches on the unit the other way round!

.

Sorry guys! Works perfectly now!

On occasion, I have the same issue. Really bizarre. I can't figure out why it happens.

Am I missing where the HD radio DIY instructions link is?

Hey everyone,
Did someone with an iPhone 5 trying using an adaptor to this to see if it works?

Just curious, thanks!

Just curious, has anyone used this DIY and part lately on something like a 2012/2013 370z?

Red_Z · 04-23-2013, 09:04 PM

I have a 12. Nothing changed.

ElVee · 04-27-2013, 06:59 PM

I got the parts and installed it all, but it's only partially functional. I have a 2013 touring w/o NAV.

- I press FM/Radio, then Sat and quickly SEEK up and I only see Aux1
- My iPod sound comes through just fine, but the display shows XM instead of Ipod.
- I can skip back and forth through songs using TUNE up/down, but no other controls work
- I can still control my ipod via the ipod click wheel
- Steering wheel control just changes through XM presets 1-6

But nothing else appears to work as it sounds like it should. I've switched from AUX1 to AUX2, and basically all the above happens again, only with Aux2.

Red_Z · 04-29-2013, 10:11 AM

Do you see "iPod" option when you change channel? I can see song name or other info when I m at "iPod". Sometimes mine does the xm channel thing too, but it will fixes itself after I restart the car.

ElVee · 04-29-2013, 11:11 AM

Nope, I haven't seen "ipod" come up on the display at all. I'll play around with it some more, and even open it back up next weekend.
