Wow! Thanks for the replies. I have done as suggested and done some routing around both the forum and my new mid-life crisis (wife's words, not mine) and discovered loads. Yes, the connectors are exactly where mentioned under the cubby. Yes, I have a controller under the glove box hidden floor. And yes, I have the steering controls..... All good so far!

Now the bad bit. Nissan want £177 + VAT for the cradle ?!?! But only £82 + VAT for the BT module. Not quite sure how they figure that out.

So, where am I going to go? I have contacted a couple of people on the forum who may be able to supply the cradle at a sensible price. Failing that I will plum for a replacement HU (probably sound advice from knowledgeable forum members... Thanks!). Which one?... Probably the Parrot i8400 I think. Anyone got any experience of this unit?

Cheers everyone!!!

Has anyone fitted one of these? I am looking to replace the Bose unit for something that will be more compatible with my iPhone and allow me to sync my contacts. I realise that you cannot use the steering controls for phone calls on any after fit unit so the Parrot RKi8400 looks like a possible solution.

Any thoughts?

have you checked if you have the base unit. Its in the glove box under the hidden shelf[/quote

 

Yes, checked that out last night after finding the info on another topic thread. I have also found the two construed under the floor of the inerseat cubby. The large White one and a smaller grey one. Also found the telephone connection instructions in the false floor of the glove box. This to me confirms that the previous owner pinched it all before he sold it.

 

Soooooo. If anyone has the odd spare cradle or dongle lying around the place I would be most interested.

Has anyone got a cradle and / or BT module that they are looking to get rid of so that my 350Z can feel whole again? The thieving gypsy that sold mine to the dealer that I bought it from has robbed them both from the car!!!!

Hi All!

Having just picked up my new 350z (first time owner) I have noticed that not only does it not have a Bluetooth adapter but is also missing the cradle in the cubby. The car is not an import and is a 53 plate with the GT pack (heated electric seats, cruise control, Bose etc). Is the fit of this equip an easy DIY or does ir really need to go to the dealer? I have no real wiring experience etc.

Have I mentioned yet that I have not been able to sleep since buying the car 3 days ago. When does the adrenalin rush stop??????
