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.

There is a thread on here about what is required, just need to seach for it

 

You will need a HU manufacturer specific loom. Most is available is from sextons direct.

 

You will need:-

 

HU

Specific loom adapter with steering wheel controls

Facia adapter

Possibly some new speakers and amp.
