derek1howe Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Maybe im a bit out of my depth, could do with some advice. So my Bose head unit has broke ("Check Disc") just weeks after getting my Zed and looks like i'm not gunna have much joy in getting it repaired so i'm looking at installing an aftermarket one. I want to be able to use my steering steering wheel controls still. I asked at a local halfords and they seemed to have no idea, so im taking it into my own hands. i think i have found the right adaptor i need is this the one ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pioneer-Nissan-350Z-Steering-Wheel-Stalk-Adaptor-Lead-/400214099522?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Terminals_Cabling_ET&hash=item5d2e9e8642 Is this the only extra lead i need? The head units im looking at are these three. Does anyone have any experience with fitting any of them? Do any of you guys have pics of any of them installed in the Zed as im a little worried a couple of them may have a "gloss" effect look and not look right in the car. pioneer - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pioneer-avh2300dvd.html jvc - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jvc-kw-xr611.html kenwood - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/kenwood-dpx404u.html Any help on this would be great ! thanks for reading.

sparky370z Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 better sound TBH. the amp might not be compatible with the new HU. i have been told that i might need a new alpine Amp and sub to get the best sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
