GreenMonkey Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Hi, I have tried searching but couldn't find what i was looking for. I may have not typed in the right search criteria! My lovely husband bought me a gorgeous new stereo for my 350z and i cant wait to get it in. Its a double deep one so should just fit straight in but how do i get the old bugger out without taking out the whole dash board as i have seen on other sites? Surely there is a simpler way?!?!? Please help i want to play with my new shiny shiny toy Quote
Zugara Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 You dont.... Hope he bought you the facia panel and loom to go from the bose to whatever you have been bought, else your shiny new toy might as well remain in the box Quote
clarkie34 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Take it to a car stereo specialist and save yourself a headache. Quote
ChrisS Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 You ain't gona like this.............. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=15617&start=0&hilit=bose+removal Quote
Zugara Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Oh, BTW its a Double Dinn head unit, not a double deep one. .well i was assuming you were takling about the Stereo being double deep!... Quote
un1eash Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 As mentioned already you'll need a fascia kit, harness adaptor and bose interface if you have bose. Also a steering wheel control patch lead if you have them. This cost around £60 plus then your looking at fitting. Where in the midlands are you? Quote
GreenMonkey Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Burton on Trent! Old one is bose, new ones a JVC if that helps and its all pretty and shiney. I used to swap stereos all the time in my other cars but that was just a case of buying the keys, taking the old one out, then plugging the new one in! What has changed? Why is everything so complicated? or is it a sign that i am getting old Quote

ChrisS Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 How do i know which ones to buy and where can i get these from? I don't know,but I'd start by PM to 'un1eash' and I bet Husky could write you a shopping list. Sorry,best I can do. Quote
