- In this video we show you how to replace the radio in a Infiniti G35. What make this install different is the fact that this car has a factory Navigation screen. The dash kit is not made to work with. that option, so we have to do a little modification to it. Enjoy

What I have taken away from this is that ima just keep using my FM transmitter
Basically all I’ve learned is that I’m looking for a g35 with a stereo already installed in it 😂
I have mine installed for half the price of a stereo XD
I said the same thing until I found a G that was just too good to let it pass.
That's my issue now, I had mine for months but no radio to listen too.
I paid 560 to install mine 😂😂

It seems like manufacturers, especially luxury brands, make this hard on purpose. Which is frustrating when you consider that all of the work and expense could be avoided if this manufacturer simply updated their maps.
ive enjoyed the video that's how talent made of millions people out there looking for this tutorials salute!
Excellent, clear video. Thanks. Convinced me to enjoy the old Bose....
Thx a lot! Best help ever. And I love how you don't just talk talk talk. Fast efficient and funny guy! 👍
Great video, it’s exactly what I needed. There was already an aftermarket radio in the car but no radio and a few harnesses. Now I can finish the job thanks so much! Great details and tips.
This is an excellent video! I don't think it is that bad of an install (granted, I have done a lot of them in my life). It is straightforward, but you must be cautious. If this is your first install, I strongly recommend setting aside at least one day and make sure you have backup transportation.
Personally, I think 99% of head units look like garbage when paired with the G35 interior. A really well rounded, affordable, stock-looking head unit that is perfect for the G35 would be the Sony XAV-AV5000. It mounts flush with the Metra and has unrivaled competition.
For those of you who want the parts list, here you go.
Dash kit: Metra 99-7604
Wiring harness: Metra 70-7551
Antenna adapter: Metra 40-NI10
Line output converter: PAC LP5-4 L.O.C. PRO
Steering wheel control interface: PAC SWI-RC
Don't cheap out, and not get these parts (steering control is okay to skip, but I don't recommend it). For the sake of simplicity, go with all of these brands listed above.
Tips:
1. Before you pull the Bose radio out, turn the volume up to about 75% (while it's on). It is the last that the Bose amp's volume will be adjusted, so make sure you give yourself plenty of headroom.
2. Before you install everything back to their places, individually test each speaker. You can do this by using the fader/balance. There are a lot of places where you could have goofed up on the wiring. The RCA's need to be snugly placed (maybe taped) to reduce the chances of disconnection.
3. Watch the video as many times as you need. The worst you can do is generate these guys some more ad revenue (not a bad thing).
Don't be discouraged that this is not as easy as a 90's GM vehicle radio install. The G35s are spectacular cars that really do benefit from a new head unit. You have to realize, you can't escape a timely install on cars these days. Buying a car with an aftermarket head unit is really sketchy and not always worth it. So many people do horrific and lazy jobs installing these. People will scratch, scuff, and break trim pieces and I have seen people wire head units by cutting off the factory harness connector and use 120-volt wire nuts to connect the wires to the aftermarket head unit harness. When you do a radio install yourself, you know if it is quality or garbage. Unless you know it was professionally installed, I think it is better to buy a G35 with the stock Bose head unit. That way you know the factory harness wasn't molested.
You're the goat I was wondering about those wiring pieces .
do you have any kits for the g35 05 coupe with nav?
Ik this is old, but funny because my harness was molested 🤣
One of the bestest radio installation video ever brother's keep up the great content.
This was some serious work Dean. Hats off to you and thanks for sharing.
+Brian Miles thank you so much
Man !!!!! this is why we have you guys, I just bought a g35 now wish i had never!!!!!!!!
hey man just want to say thanks for the in depth tutorial :) one of the best edited and informative videos thanks!
parts ordered getting ready to do this double din install next week. Perfect video man
Very good clear and easy to follow steps. Great video, keep it up.
Just installed a new sony double din in a G and it sounds amazing. Just followed thru the video as they were doing it and took my time wiring. This video was very helpful 👍🏼
Wow, i wish I found your video first it was very helpful and I wouldn't have cracked the top dash bit
thank you :)
Holy front cabin disassembly Batman!
Great video, fellas.
Right.... that was a lot of Sh!t to take off
+jmaslin 👍😂
+Kevin Rey 😂
Continued watching. This job is my idea of purgatory. Admire your work.
I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to do my stereo!! At first because I haven't done it in so long I didn't think I would be able to do it.. but after watching your videos you guys inspired me and gave me the confidence to go ahead and get back at it ! Thanks 💪🏼🍻 By the way would you know where I can buy the pocket ?? I have looked everywhere and no luck ..thanks and keep up the great content 😎👍🏼
Let me know if you find it.
Man oh man if I was close to you guys I would get a stereo put in asap great work
+fat catt 39 thank you, very kind
I thank the heavens that they changed the design from 2005!
The Metra kits are just so janky-looking, though!? THAT'S the main reason why I haven't tried to upgrade mine yet. The buttons are spongy even though they are rather resilient and will last for years.
You do get JDM parts for a double-din radio in the USA but they are EXPENSIVE (around $350 just for the trim piece)!
I'm rather OCD about things so what you guys just did would drive me insane and at least double as long as both your time together, since I won't even "allow" myself to replace old clips - everything must be unused! I mention this just so you will understand(?). I will certainly become a desert-wanderer.
On a lighter note though... excellent video with excellent information for people wanting to attempt this!!!
Thank you! This is really informative!
Great video, what is needed to replace a stock Bose radio w/o amp and sub just 70 7550 and SWI RC no LP5-4
Thanks for the video, will come in handy just picked up an 04 sedan.👍
what kit did you buy for your 04
@@ChristianR.hdz1 metra double din for what ever year you have
such excellent installers
+newls1 to kind, thank you
A little confusing but it helped a lot especially programming the steering wheel control module
Great video fellas! I literally just did a Pioneer double din install in my buddies G35 a few days ago so I know every step you guys took to install it ha ha! I honestly just went with the first harness you showed w/o the RCA's. You're right about the volume being loud by volume level 10 or so, but it really does sound great still. I would recommend using it to anyone.
For anyone that is thinking about doing a double din install in their G35 the Metra kit is a great kit and fits very nice and looks really once its in. Only thing I will say is make sure to take off the cig lighter panel as well as the opposite panel too. You will fight with putting the kit back in if you don't. It'll get hung up on the vent!
+2nsane2005 👍
love your vids
That was the most complicated CD player install I have ever seen
+Jmain Spl it is definitely one of the trickier ones
Just check out a Mini Cooper install. Way worse. Lol
Yeah and I just bought a g35 😕
@@fairlanewhip79 same
yeah that a tough one. i have done a few. takes a few hours
Awesome video like always, stay safe you guys
+Cris Villalta thank you so much
Well explained 👍
Awesome video guys! I'm thinking about doing this instal to my g35! I was wondering, how does this aftermarket install compare to the sound quality of the factory boss system? Also, using the PAC LP5-4 4-Channel Line Output Converter you didn't mention the hookup for the subwoofer amp? Is the subwoofer hooked in a different way? Thank you
Can you please list all the harnesses or material we need for this installation?
i have used a 4 or 5 volt stereo to avoid those noise filters and have great sound without the pac unit.
Thanks for the video. I just had a Pioneer double din installed in my '03 and it sounds like absolute $#!+. I am sending this video to the shop that did my install. I am thinking they just hooked up directly and didn't take into account the difference in the Bose speaker impedance. Every speaker sounds blown and it has no bass and no power
Smart of you to post this. Praying you never have to do one of these again haha.
Your video is by far the best of 6 videos I’ve watched about this particular job. You answer all the questions that I didn’t know I need to ask. I have a Japanese (RHD) 2003 Nissan Skyline which is identical to a Infinity G35, but mirror image. I want to upgrade the outdated radio system with a Bluetooth capable like you did here.
Could you recommend some brands before I buy?
Do you have any recommendations since you posted this video on what I could do with factory NAV system. It works as a Japanese TV and NAV System, which despite my ability to translate, is outdated and useless. I’d like to take it out and replace it with iPhone Charging pad and also make it so I could mount one of my old or current iPhone there. That way I could use my iPhone for navigation.
Do you think I could take it out? Do you think I could connect the pad/magnetic style charger to power? I’d like to keep the physical slide up and down feature.
Hey I have 2004 nissan skyline JDM I also want change radio can you help me which stereo you buy and which spare parts you have
Awesome video guys
Be safe with hurricane ......
+Chadd Romero thank you
First look at that steering wheel cover and I would have run for the hills.
+Cheezy Dee 😂
You should do a video for the 2008 to 2013 Infiniti G37.
Did you guys change metra kit colors throughout the video??? The dash kit looks COMPLETELY different from the box opening to the final install.
I have a 2004 6MT Coupe with willow interior, and I think the proper color is the "silver" metra kit.
It looks like you intially had the tan and then switched to that one, or does the lighting really make that much of a difference???
Please advise. Thanks.
I just received a scoche kit and it is a POS, so gonna return it and get this one.
Can u include links to all the harnesses and kits u bought to use for this?
Do you have any tips on getting the gear shift cover back in place? I’m having trouble getting the entire middle piece back in, and trying not to break it.
Did you connect bothe the negative and positive speaker wires to the corresponding speaker wire on the PAC?
Where does the ac controls plug into? Does it plug into radio or the car’s harness?
Perfection my friends. Amazing as always.
+Clint L thank you
Where did you ground go that was on the pac box also where does the reverse in wire go into ?
AWESOME !!
Whoa!!! The disassembly of this vehicle reminds me of replacing the head unit of the Chevy SSR, way too complicated.
+Nine20Eight yeah those are not fun either
Does all of these steps go for the '07 models without the navigation screen too??
Have you ever removed the gear shifter knob on the 2017 hyundai ioniq?
I'm late on this but what would be an estimate to get it done by a shop? I'm looking to get an after market radio and my g35 doesn't have the navigation.
Where do you place the two pin connector (circle black cord) that was in the back of the default stereo?
I know you probably wont see this its been a couple of years since you uploaded this video, but can i ask witch radio you used, that would be very usefull to know.
Is it possible at all to install a double din unit by just cutting the opening bigger, so would it be attachable
Do I have to use the Output converter ? If I’m using my aftermarket amp ?
Put a radio in my geo metro. Thought about putting new one in g35x til I saw this lol.
So that kit works with the navigation I was told there's two kits I could not find the one that had the factory navigation so that one works....can you tell me exact place or part number..
Me - "Hey Joe, what did you do this weekend?"
Joe - "Well, I installed a new radio in that G35 I just bought."
Me - "Oh, I saw the for sale sign on the windshield, why would you put a new radio in it before you try to sell it?"
Joe - "When I say that I installed a radio, I mean; I'm pretty sure I traveled through a few of the 9 circles of hell."
Me - "Bad huh?"
Joe - "I really don't wanna get into it."
Me - "What's in that box on the ground next to the car?"
Joe sobbing - "Broken interior parts, broken radio, broken A/C panel, 3 boxes of used bandages..." then, much quieter, "my dignity"
Me - "Holy shit man....but why would you sell it?"
Joe - "Because FUCK NISSAN! It's just a radio! Its. Just. A. Radio."
That was the last time we saw Joe. Some say he wanders the desert like some weird kung-fu master, others say he's in an insane asylum.
All I know is: I just wish Joe had seen this video before he went crazy trying to put in a radio....a...radio...
We all miss him. Well... his hot wife doesn't miss him as much as the rest of us do.
Moral of this story? Don't buy G35's kids, they ruin lives.
+sirgozer Joe will be missed for sure. To funny! Thank you for this.
sirgozer BEST CZcams COMMENT EVER. I'M STILL LAUGHING HAHA
Wiser words have never been spoken
That's way too much!! Mine is broken but I'm thinking just forget it 😄
broken radio, broken ac panel lol!!!!
I actually work at the call center for the navigation update center. Yes its old, yes its pricy, still cheaper and more up to date thrn new Chrysler updates lol
have u guys ever done a volvo? and nice vids keep up the good work
+Demario Burrell just the xc90
Five Star Car Stereo ... ok same make that i have, any tips or pointers that may make my installation for my Pioneer Double-Din easy
My Radio just crapped out again on my 2003 G35. How much do you guys charge to installed one of these double dins?
Thanks
Hi I'm trying to do the same that you did but I didn't see what you do with the blue cable in the harness to connect to the radio harness?????
My son has the same car 2004 and he wants to upgrade too. But he wants to bypass Bose amps and go to 2 different amps a 4 channel and a sub amp. What wiring harness would you suggest to make it the easiest for him? This video makes it easier for him to take his dash apart. Thanks Dean and Fernando for the very informative video.
+Larry Weppler either has would work for that. You will only be using the power side when bypassing the amp.
Can I instal something like that in my g35 sedan? Its a base g35 with non bose stereo without the factory navigation
Holy crap I just wanted to put in a radio that didnt suck balls, no way I can do all of this Imma just find an installer lol
Have you done a video on a 06 Honda Accord 4-door sedan...
Now I see the othere guy beard just grew longer sinc yall took it a loose!!!
I think I may have to drive out to Florida or wherever you guys are to get my double din installed when I get the money.
Do one of these for the 350Z please. I know it's basically the same car but that would be awesome
Francisco Figueroa They recently had a video on the 350Z. I think it was a 911 rescue, not sure it was a full build like this one though.
J Silver a 911 rescue? I'll have to look it up
Francisco Figueroa 911 rescues are audio install "do-overs" from previous installs that weren't done properly. I remembered Dean saying that Z needed a lot of work, I don't think they had a full install on it though, just a before and after.
Francisco Figueroa It's this one, czcams.com/video/vHK0cC_MXwc/video.html. Starts at 16:11, I thought it was a rescue but it's a regular full install.
J Silver thank you. I found another one too and they mention this video in that one. I appreciate it!
is it too late to sell my g35 and buy an car that already has this done?
Hi, why does the factory G35 Bose stereo work without an added line output converter ???
My brother has the exact car and he has a pioneer avh-2300nex with 2 kicker comps
How did you move the gear shifter back to the drive position while the car is off
I'm not good at electronics, my 06 g35 has this problem. Radio is a Sony 2din, installed after the old aftermarket had the same issues. Sound doesn't always come out, either from all or some of the speakers. Happens in every pothole, train track, or bump. At the shop where I got the stereo they said it was some lose connection, worked great for a few months and back with the same issue. Went to a different shop and dude wants to connect it directly to the stereo all the "new speakers and Amp plus new wiring". Should I take his advice or go somewhere else and get a different opinion? 🤔
Would this be the same wiring for a 2003 350z with bose and nav?
So why did you cut the rcas from the converter and wire them into the radio harness? Could you have just plugged them into the front and rear RCA outputs on the back of the radio? I as because I used the same car harness you guys did in the video and plugged the rca directly into my radio. However, I am experiencing the limited volume range as well as distortion. I’m planning on getting the pac rca converter you guys used to correct the issue. I guess I’m really asking can I just plug the converter into my radio and the harness rcas into the box? I have an Appradio4 by the way. I found that with the rcas plugged into my radios f&r outputs you get much better sound when you turn the high power frequencies in the crossover off. Any advice or information would be appreciated greatly. One more quick question. Can I just replace the Bose speakers with aftermarket 4ohm speakers? I’ve heard they use 2ohm speakers and a .5 ohm sub. Do you know what the Bose speakers resistance is or how much wattage the system puts out per channel? I’d really like to replace st speakers but I cannot find and information about the Bose factory specs. I’m not driving a G35 but it’s counterpart an 04’ 350z. Thanks for the video guys well done. I look forward to hearing from you.

The best option would be to replace the Bose speakers with aftermarket and bypass the Bose amp. Using the Bose amp for aftermarket speakers is not the best idea. We use the radio output power because that is what is needed for a High level input on the device. The low level of an RCA is not enough power to make sound.
Five Star Car Stereo thanks guys. So should I turn my high power frequencies back on in the crossover? Will that converter clarify my wound at higher volumes? I def want to bypass the Bose system & do my own stuff again. It’s gonna be a lil while cause the holidays and bills. I was recently running all Orion XTR highs, mids, and lows. Along with XTR amps. I was very impressed going from kicker to Orion. What do you recommend for an 04 350z with the pioneer AppRadio4 sph da120? I’d like to utilize the sub compartment for a free air sub or even partially seal it up and make it a ported box and dreaded the entire cab with roadkill or something similar. Any suggestions would be greatly Appreciated. I was just gonna replace the Bose speakers with ona that fell in the same resistance range but were not in need of high rms to perform adequately. As of now the radio sounds great at about 16 but when you start driving Rod noise drowns our the clarity and turbine the volume up comes with distortion. I replaced the blown Bose 10” pancake sub with a Rockford Nissan lunch from an xterra that is a 3 ohm dvc running it at about 1.5ohm stable and the sub itself sounds better than all the other speakers, but where they are all tied into it trying to make speaker level adjustments only complicates things. Please help a brother out. I guess the next step is to add the pac unit and start acquiring components to build it right. Turn me on to a few things, I’m very open minded but like quality stuff. Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon.

Hello, would this adapters and harness work with a Nissan Pathfinder 2001 with Bose audio?
Where are you guys located? I been wanting to install one of those on my 2008 infiniti G35 so I won’t have to use an aux cable to listen to music 🙄🙄
The pac ROEM-NIS2 is perfect for Bose integration I use it on all nissan/Infiniti with Bose installs check it out

hey I need help . I have a blaupunkt Portland 310nav can get it to work. every thing is connected including the blue/yellow from the unit to the steering 1 on the back of the radio. it shows the led lite on the unit working ,but nothing happening on the radio. I turn on the controls in the radio that says steering wheel
I'm having a hard time with the steering wheel interface. I have a pioneer avh4800. I plugged a red and a black from steer control into the red/solid blue of harness, and I plugged black to yellow, white/red to green, and solid white to red. Since I have pioneer it should be same as this vid? only thing I can think is are the two black wires the same or maybe they are backwards? Or did I mess up the colors?
Did you add a ground to a ground to the metal in the dash. The factory ground in the power plug is not enough. The 2 black wires are connected to the same point you can’t get them wrong.
On the PAC SWI-RC Manual it doesn't have the boss radio option, so can you guys tell me the things that I need to do with boss after Market radio ?
hey, my friend, I live in Vancouver bc went to 4 guys, and not one wants to do the job on my 2003 Infiniti 35 they say is too much .....so I'm going to wait until cov 19 is over and go to Seattle .
I have a 2005 Infiniti fx35 with the Bose system...I'd love to replace as suggestions??
So technically if I really wanted to, I could use a Line Out Converter without having to buy the Expensive PAC-OEM-1. I have a free Scosche SLC4 that I got from a parts car a while back and was curious if I can use that. Thanks in advance lol
Hey Guys, GREAT VID! Any chance you guys can do a stereo and amp install on an Infiniti G37?
+mr2ninjat as soon as another one comes in
I will be looking forward to it, thanks :-)
You can download a newer version of the navigation software and burn it to dvd r RE newer than 2013
How do i do that
How much to do this exact project to my G35? Such a great video but out of my expertise and tool repertoire lol
Where do I buy the raido hardness from or what's the part number looking to install it on my 04 g35 coupe
You really really need to show more details of where the screws are at!! esp on the driver side!
Quick question I just did this to my car and now the climate air controls aren’t working what should I do?
Soooo we tried to do this yesterday and the sound doesn’t sound right where did we mess up we tried to follow your wiring instructions but it was kinda hard
Oh boy about to buy one of these and dam this is going to be a dam nitemare compared. To my. Suburban
Can you put a link to the bracket please and all the parts you use
What size stereo fits in the dash?
The wiring is so confusing I honestly feel that it was rushed, this is free content so I’m not complaining but you know I didn’t learn much, thanks for the effort tho.
Hardest part for me is that all the harnesses they used aren't in the description so I'm trying to figure out what else I need.
Do you need the after marker bezel ?
Do y’all do this for other g35 owners
What’s the biggest radio size I can put into this
what does the parking break wire connect to?
