I dont use bluetooth on my car so i could careless. Also, i would rather use pandora and iheart radio for my streaming use. The tablet will always be hotspotted to my phone which has unlimited 4G. The problem I have is with wiring. Since im removing the factory head unit, where would my aux go for my tabet? I ordered a PAC transformer which was stated that its required if Im using my factory bose amplifier, but the PAC doesnt have an aux or audio input.

I have my plastic (I'm only having the front done) being painted this week... for prep/paint my shop quoted me under $100, so for everything involved (tablet/plastics/electronics/paint) I'm right around the same price I originally paid for my Pioneer head unit.
Jayhovah - I don't know about your Z, but if I'm driving it's either speaker or exhaust noise. That, and I usually won't answer phone calls when I'm driving anyway so I wasn't concerned about either. mini_cal - The Tablet A has a built-in GPS antenna, and if you tether it to your phone's data Waze and/or Google Maps work perfectly fine (I tested the theory in my minivan since I had the same concern in the beginning). Also, how often do you listen to AM/FM radio? Again, can only speak for myself but I haven't a single time since owning my Z but if you do, you do. nismo-911 - They have a video on their youtube channel with wiring setup. I'm still waiting on my voltage power adapter otherwise I'd try to help you out myself but it looks pretty straight forward. If you already have an amp installed, then it should be extremely simple. falsereality - Unless you live in Arizona or somewhere where it gets EXTREMELY hot, I don't see the heat being an issue. I have to leave my phone in the car when I'm at work due to the area I work in, however even during the summer it operates just fine when I go to lunch or home. I don't see the tablet being taxed that severely by just playing music or navigating to overheat. Also, with the tablet (as opposed to an actual head unit),there's a decent amount of space behind it for the air to circulate somewhat. Worst case, you have AC. That's my line of thought. That being said, the issue I did have with it was the lack of a way to integrate my current rearveiw camera since we all know the Z has terrible rearward visibility and the zenki Nismo wing pretty much blocks what we do have. I ended up purchasing the OEM rearview in-mirror monitor/camera setup and will use that however it was pricey. Just something to be aware of for those that do have cameras in use with their aftermarket headunits. |

I already have an aftermarket setup with amplifier so I'm just using the 3.5mm to RCA cable with the ground loop isolator. My car didn't have the Bose system to begin with so no need for the PAC transformer.

The issue with that is they are 3D printed. They have a texture to them that needs to be sanded and smoothen out before applying paint. That took me a few hours to sand and paint and had to repeat the process to get a nice smooth finish.

My question is how would this work if you have the technology package setup? I wanted a Nismo without the tech package but the price on my ride was just too good to pass up.
