Thanks a lot for the post. I just ordered the ICarKits module should be here in a week or so. Sure hope it works. I'll keep you posted.

I ordered my stuff last week (iSimple PXAMG/PGHNI2) and am hoping for a delivery this week and good weather this weekend.
Of course, I also have a 2010 Tour/Sport Non-Nav for which this stuff has yet to be certified.

Rob,
GREAT Post. I never would have even thought about trying this without seeing these instructions. +1 Rep point and many thanks!!
I installed the unit this weekend and even though I didn't get the results I expected (separate topic), I was able to get (almost) everything apart and back together.
The items I had problems with:

I could NOT get the frickin shift knob off!! So I worked around it.
My Passenger Airbag light is on all the time (but I have more testing to do)

Re: my results
First of all, I have a 2010 Tour/Sport Non-nav 370z, which PAC-Audio has NOT yet certified.
After the install, the factory radio:

recognizes the IPOD
charges the IPOD
displays the artist/song (by changing the display)
allows me to move to the next song using the steering wheel controls

but it doesn't let me browse artist, albums, playlist, etc.
Can you?
Has anybody else installed this in a 2010, and what luck have you had?

Yes I can browse. It's a little weird to get used to. My car is covered and away for the evening, but I'll get in it tomorrow and write down the directions for browsing and post them here. I can't remember how to do it off the top of my head.

Also, there is a fix for the airbag light. Check out step 32 of my original post. It tells you how to fix it.

Sometimes I can be such a nim-null

Now I understand what you are talking about re: the airbag light flashing at you.
I thought you were talking about the "passenger airbag off" light on the right hand side of the center console.
But nooo-ooo, you were talking about that flashing red thingy in the middle of the tach. NOW I get it.
And thanks, step 32 took care of it.
