cb350

I did have a search but only came up with a few posts - do you have any photos showing it fitted? The main problem I have is I'm not sure how I'm going to go about actually fitting it inside the cubby.

you out on the river today? looks pretty cold out there.

Thanks, will do - would help if I had my location on my profile! Just added it now

I've got a Pioneer AVIC F500-BT from my old car that I'd like to put into the 350Z. The F500 is a bit different to the rest of the AVIC range in that it is a thin unit designed to be docked onto suction cup attached to the window. It then has its own amp which allows it to take the feed from the existing car stereo and marry the two units together. I'd like to do away with the Pioneer amp as it isn't that good anyway - this should be fine as the F500 has a standard line-out on it. So, what I want to do is: 1) Fit the F500-BT into the cubby hole where the satnav would be (I don't have satnav currently) 2) Feed the audio to the Bose system in my car from the line out. To get the audio to the Bose, I know there's the FM transmitter option, also the option to solder onto the internals of the tape deck. Ideally I want the best quality sound possible, but I don't really want to mess with the internals of the Bose system. So, what about the iPod controller? I understand this should be compatible with the Bose system: http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1429 So, could I buy one of these, and use the aux-in function? That way I guess I'd also get iPod support, which would be a bonus! Are there any fitters who could help install this sort of setup? I'm pretty good with electronics and radios, etc, but I really don't want to go delving into pulling the dash apart and trying to get the F500-BT to fit properly by myself. I've done that enough times in the past with cars and it's never any fun. I'd happily pay for some help Chris.

Denton, Gravesend? I used to live in Denton!

Small world! I work in the White House at the bottom of the road. I've had it a week today - it rocks! The extra power over my old car caught me a bit by surprise in the wet the other day, but that just added to the enjoyment factor

Man, that's kinda crazy - I'm a member of the Goodwood Road Race Club. I was thinking about going to the breakfast club this weekend, Deutsch Marques, with my Porsche, but it's not going to be ready in time and I don't know anyone else going. Let me check if I'm doing anything that weekend, otherwise I might be up for the drive down... although I think I'm already driving down the weekend after for the GRRC christmas ball! Chris.

Yep, that's it, well tracked down! I got the car on Saturday so it wouldn't have been me driving it in Chatham last week. I've got a few things to sort out like a bit of paintwork on the bonnet and a sticky driver's window, but other than that it seems to be going really well so far. Chris.

thanks for the messages! I've gone from an '85 Porsche 944 to this 350z.. first time I've had a car made after the eighties haha!

Hi all, Just thought I'd say hi, got my 350z on Saturday, signed up on the forum today. Enjoyed every minute of driving it so far. Took this picture today as I was leaving the office. Sorry only the one picture, but it was pretty dark by the time I left! Chris.

Hi, I just bought an '03 350Z import - this is my first post! All seems to be fine so far, really enjoying driving the car, but my only question is it appears to have been fitted with an aftermarket LaserLine immobiliser. It's one of the standard types where you have to push the keyfob onto the immobiliser to switch it off. I'm just not sure I really need it. Doesn't the car have a factory immobiliser anyway? It seems a hassle to have to do this extra step every time I get in the car, so if it isn't necessary, I might get it removed... or should I upgrade to a better alarm? Chris.
