yes, I can't see any issues with a straight Bose-Bose swap. Just make sure you get one from the same series as the face plate needs to be swapped too. If you have navi,, it would be easier if you get a HU from a G35 with navi. If you have a FM band expander installed for the radio, you will need to remove that too when fitting a G35 HU

Cool thx ...don't have navi and i can live without a DVD. Perfect option :) just hope I don't end up buying a dud

Does that mean you don't need an expander with a US unit?

I noticed with my unit that the output boosts when I adjust the bass and treble.. or up the volume to 20 and turn it back down ... weird pinch.gif

Great info! So I'm guessing that V35 Bose to G35 Bose would just be a straight swap?

yes BUT the reverse is not that easy.. if you have navi then it is not. they are different.

sonic,

is it a PDF?

Chris - Yes, it is a PDF

Poke - that is correct, you must remove the band expander when fitting the US unit, they use the same radio frequency range as we do. If you leave it installed, you won't be able to receive most of the radio stations.

The G35 units also have speed sensitive volume, but that doesn't seem to work on mine, I am guessing the V35 doesn't have the speed signal wire connected from the speedo cluster to the HU, if I have enough time on my hands, I might see if I can connect it. (any advise Chris?)

firmware is different on the JDM one and there is no wire there for it for the USDM one to work. there is a speed wire in the car that I use for cruise but I'm not sure if it is stable enough to run that.

yeah, I thought that might be the case. I was going to check the pin on the back of the Speedo cluster too see if there is a speed output that complies with what the g35 FSM shows. If it does, I will try adding the wire for the HU.

If you can't find a speed signal wire there, I think the one Chris is talking about is on pin 27 of the TCM (Transmission Control Module) which is behind the passenger side kick panel. It's a yellow black wire. At 20km/h it frequency is 185Hz (according toG35 manual). Is that in the range you require?

According to the G35 FSM, the speed signal for the stereo should be approx 55hz at 40km/h

Mmmm, that may not work then. Hunting around in the back of the dash could be your only hope, but it's hadly life or death though hey :rolleyes: .

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
