Most of those are good for charging small PEDs, but I have a couple of devices that require USB power to run (like a small external hard drive). I need MOAR POWAH! :icon17:

Guess I'm going to have to wait until I can get a 2DIN HU compatible with the iPhone 5.

There's this option for the dummy slots, which I'll be doing soon I think. Getting annoyed with my radar detector cord blocking my clock...

When the Z34 came out for $30,000 in 09. They were the only car in the price range without a ipod connection and USB port. Now we are almost in the 2014 model year. And the Z is getting close to the $34,000 mark for a Z. And they remain the only car in the price range without ipod and USB connections. I never seen a $34,000 car with this shytty a stereo either. Materials were great quality at $30,000. At almost $34,000, We should have real magnesium trim everywhere as well.

We went from the best performance value in 09, to one of the worst buys right now for the money. not because z's are bad now in performance or reliability... It's still a high performing,reliable sports car... But by 2012, so many cars caught up in the driving excitement department and also found ways to massively upgrade their cars features and interiors along with improved performance.

We basically have new front, shocks and redesigned wheels. Oh and red paint on the brakes. Whoopyyyyyy!!! Yet prices strangely have gone up slightly over $3,000. I'm glad I bought a Z in 2011. Current Z prices today are laughable. 2011 was bordering ridiculous but I dealed $3,000 off my car. wish I hadn't wrecked my 09... That was an even better deal.:tup:

Instead of replacing the dummy switches with functional ones I'd like to replace that trim piece with a shallow coin/misc item holder. Has anyone thought about fabricating something up to fit in that area? Does that trim piece with the dummy switches come out by itself?

Dummy switches

1. Nitrous switches. (Make sure you also buy nitrous kit.) :icon17:
2. You can convert your base seats to have heated seating.
3.install a forward or bottom foglight/LED light kit and put the switches
4. You can rig an oil slick if you get chased by police... slip and slide party? lol
5. Switches for forward mounted guns
6. Add switch for radar to track EC2's with that satellite tracking chit and frogmen. :tup:

7. Wire the fog lamp





Ive seen someone on the forum putting a couple of switches inside the cubby of the armrest. Looked pretty cool, very low profile, and had much more than 3 switches. Ive also seen(for base models only) someone put the 12v outlet in the the dummy button where the rev match button is located. You can prob find that one on the DIY section.

yah, just pull up from the cup holder area and the entire piece pops out.
then there are screws on the bottom for the switch trim.

Yes, iPhone 5 (or earlier)... no problem for charging.

Yup, that's exactly what I would like to do with those switches. I searched the internet for something, but didn't see anything. Let me know if you see/hear about something.

Maybe install a subwoofer kill switch for the coppers?

Or maybe fab up a smartphone dock there, like something you could plug your iPhone into where it's already hooked up to the HU.
