Steering Wheel Control On V35 - To Be Retained

Hi All,

(Chris Rogers may be the DA MAN for this)...

I have a 2003 V35 sedan with the BOSE system and the steering wheel controls on the left hand side, see pic attached.

Now, I am maybe one of the unlucky few that had my factory monitor, etc removed and had an after market Panasonic HDD SatNav and 7" LCD installed (which is 'useless' and only used for the reverse camera). I will be removing the whole system and will be buying a 2 DIN Fascia to install a Sony headunit and motorised LCD screen in lieu of the BOSE 6 Stack CD/Tape Player.

I have already found the Fascia and the wire harness to connect up to the BOSE Amp and speaker system. However, from the same seller, they claim to have a steering wheel control interface that retains the use of the factory steering wheel controls (and mates it to the Sony headunit). However, this unit is for the G35 Infiniti and they cannot confirm if it works on the V35. But, going through their Tech Notes, it seems that this "may" work on the V35.

See here:

And here:

My question is:

1. By reading the info in the 2 links, can any Tech person confirm the wiring harness is the same, etc.

2. Is anyone willing to install this for me?

Like I said, Chris may be DA MAN for this job, but before I go spending $100USD on this unit, I need some assurance that it will work.

If this works on my car, it means that it will open the floodgates for many other V35 owners to explore changing their headunits and utilising the same factory steering wheel controls...

Oops, one more thing, can someone also confirm if the USA G35's Bose system wiring harness is the same as the V35s?

The kit comes with 2 wiring harnesses, which u only need to use 1 (depending on your aftermarket head unit install).

In my memory reference for Chris. The Harnesses of G35 bose and V35 Bose is different. So the US kit does not support JDM model. But Chris has his own harnesses can to the same job. Send him a pm, he will do the job for you.

bearing in mind a lot of the G35 stuff does not apply to this car. the leads you show DEFINITELY do not.

SWC - yep you can retain that with a sony stereo. I would be wary of ebay though. buy it off someone local.

In saying all this, what is actually required to replace the stereo only on a V35? not interested in combining monitor or navigation, just a repalce of the bose head unit with something else?

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
