Removed Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 After buying the Ipod video a couple of weeks ago, I also just bought this unit to attach it to the aerial of the standard stereo. Will do a guide once i get round to installing it, which should (repeat, should) be this weekend  I know there was a guide on the old site, and probably there'll be one locked away somewhere else, but guess what, we are going to have our own soon  SCROLL DOWN FOR THE GUIDE

Removed Posted May 27, 2006 Author Posted May 27, 2006 Success!  righty oh, here's the DIY guide all bigger size pictures are here: http://www.350z-uk.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=69  what you'll need:    let's start then!  disconnect both battery cables  let's start dismantling the centre console!  take off the rubber mat in the centre cubby hole and unscrew the 2 screws you just uncovered  then lift the plastic cover as indicated  then lift the gear lever surround  detach the aircon cable from the back of the surround  unscrew these 6 screws you see here: (note 2 on the bottom left side are missing as I took them off already)  unscrew these 2 other screws:  lift centre console top part with a fairly strong pull  before taking off the centre console, make sure you sit on the driver's seat, and unplug this connector, and also release it from the little hook that keeps the wire of the connector close to the centre console  finally pull the console away, but not completely as you have to unplug the radio connectors  unplug all these connectors  get the connector shown in the picture and splice the white cable with blue streak and the pink cable with black streak  attach the cable splice to the red cable from the ICE link, and the white/blue from the radio connector  attach the pink/black cable from the radio connector to the purple cable on the ICE link via the cable splice  the black cable from the ICE link needs to be grounded, I just put it onto the chassis  attach the ICE LINK box with the cable tie provided to the plastic frame as shown  finally route the cradle cable where you find it best (some people put it in the little cubbly hole, some other put it where the phone cradle is, I put it just below the vent     et voila' IPOD connected to frequency 88.00mhz  sound quality is good, not CD quality but still quite good even at high volumes, all in all a worthwhile purchase!    Â
Removed Posted August 17, 2006 Author Posted August 17, 2006 addendum for the 06 model thanks to member Harewood! Â " I have just removed the centre console in my 06MY coupe. It has the factory fit SatNav and the way the control panel fits differs from previous models. In front of the bottom of the screen is a plastic panel that has to be prised upwards carefully to reveal the 2 screws that hold the SatNav controls in place." Â
