that is actually one of hte better ones.

Fun isnt it!! I sat in the car while one of the guys pulled apart half the dash to get mine out. The cdplayer and tape deck combo have now been sent off to clarion to see if there is any hope in hell of repairing the deadly "cd error f0" code i have.

Dont like my chances as everything ive read shows up with it being kaput.

Sorry for the hijack, just reminded me of what my car looked like about a month ago!

wow...hope you can piece that back together without any scratches lol...

btw...how good are the bose systems in these cars?? Are they as good a quality as their home theatre systems?? I'm contemplating getting a V35 GT-8 possibly soonish..:banana:

Others might disagree but I think the Bose is fantastic for a stock system. I'm usually one to upgrade systems straight away when I buy a car, but a year later, I still have the stock system. It still takes my doof doof, no audible distortion, just needs some dynamat in a few places to make it sound tighter. Go the GT-8!

Stock - MP3's no, CDR's yes. Luck of the draw of course if your headunit works in the first place. There's been a number of reports of units being DOA. But just one of those things you need to consider.

keep in mind the stock bose setup runs

nissan head unit

bose amp

2 rear parcel shelf bose speakers 6*9"

2 rear seat bose speakers

2 front door bose speakers 6.5"

2 front door tweaters

the sedan also has a sub i think doesn't it?

not bad for a stock system, certainly would cost a fair bit to put together this kind of quality off the shelf of an audio store. the only way you'd get better imo is adding top quality items and unless you are into audio massivley you probably wouldn't notice the difference

I actually went and test drove a 350 gt-8 sedan today and brought along one of my R&B Cds...and the bose system rocks! And yes..the rear parcel shelf has a sub too....pity a bloody child restraint was fitted straight thru the speaker grills!

its does. 8" version with an amplifier strapped to it. I still reckon I could do better :no: but for stock it works quite well.

Jon,

they pull the sub out , put a bracket over it drill the hole and put a kidbolt there. watched them do one today.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
