Sandy Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Hello Folks, I've got a new headunit for my Z and I was wondering what other bits I'll require to install it. My Z is a JDM (2003) with the BOSE system Parts I've got so far Steering Wheel control Amplifier interface Headunit: JVC KW-AVX720 What other parts do I need? Thanks in advance for any advice Sandy Quote
analogue Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 You will need that: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=16403 You will also need a good 5 hours Quote
Rob_Quads Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Unfortunately due to the parts you have gone your the main thing you will nee is LOTS of time. Your going to have lots of soldering to do and a very good wiring guide. Quote
R800NER Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Calm down lads, it's not THAT bad. I know nothing about sound systems, did some research....bought the bits from that link. Spent probably 3/4 hours tops on taking the BOSE head unit, wiring up and replacing with an Alpine double din unit. This includes time spent on reworking the double din enclosure to fit the HU. It WAS frustrating, but it WASN'T hard/technical if you follow the guides However, I now need to return it back to stock......should be interesting! Quote

Why u going back to stock? what a pain get it all in they bloody pull it out!! shame really!! I'm probably going to trade my car in, so want to get it back to stock and keep/sell all my bits (shhhh, for sale thread coming up!) Quote
Rob_Quads Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Calm down lads, it's not THAT bad. ! My comments are in relation to the products listed in the first link. If you get the looms linked in my post then yes its far from hard. As for removing it all. It should be fairly simple to be honest Quote
analogue Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 if you compare it with doing the same work on a Golf (or other German), it is THAT BAD Quote
yokomo Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 way way eayer than a 3 series ! theres juts no room behind the stock unit for the wires! Quote
