Hey guys,

I just finished my upgrade with a double din kit and a nismo shift knob, here are the pictures.

parts involved:

1. JDM double din kit: frame and AC control (from US ebay). I soldered the dual control button myself as well.

2. XTRONS touch screen head unit with DVD, Radio, SD card, GPS, TV, USB, Ipod control......(from ebay australia).

I connected the brake lead to the ground so I can play DVD even when I am driving, but I know it's dangerous.

3. Beatsonic BOSE lead (from Chris), not METRA 70-7551 NISSAN FACTORY AMP INTERGRADE HARNESS.

4. nismo manual shift knob (from US ebay)

I also ordered a Nissan Antenna Diversity Adaptor (from Ebay Australia) for the radio, but it is included in Chris' Bose lead kit, so I had a spare one now.

That's it, enjoy!

Good work dude, looks nice!

Could you post some pics of the screen in use, playing DVD/nav/TV - im always curious to see others....

oh, and dont worry about the DVD part, i watch a movie on the way to work and home almost every day.

EDIT: Oh, and you should bring it to the V35 meet next week - it would be good to show it off!!

Edited by g33k

good to see you got it all in. beatsonic piece works a lot better than the hack attempt of the metra item.

standard issue from me when you buy the full kit.

Did this on my V35 at the start of the year same head unit and same face kit and buttons i didnt install it myself had the guys at newcastle pro sound do it, cost me around $800 all up for full GPS and RCA cables to the TV tuner to play DVD's on the OEM screen with GPS on at the same time.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
