Note that this was for the 2003 Z dash.
Assuming Scafremon will not object, I have placed a copy of the Acrobat file here for downloading:

The use of a magnetized screwdriver will help.

I really appreciate your effort, however, the instructions do not show stock nav unit. I cant simply remove a rubber mat to expose the screws, I have all the controls for the nav and the screen in there. Would appreciate some further input.

I just bought a 2003 350Z performance. I am looking to add some bass to my system and would rather not take up any of the already limited trunk space. Does anybody have any ideas? I already own a 10 Kenwood Subwoofer.

I saw someone do it on the g35 forums (g35driver) and he literally had to take his whole car apart, everything was basically down to the metal from what I remember. Plus, the wiring, oh man, thats a whole other story haha.
Err, here we go, found the link =)

Dealerships will also not install OEM navi into a non navi equiped car, it is just way too time consuming and difficult. If you really want the OEM setup, I think your best option is to trade in your car for one that has it =(
Hope this gives you a little insight!
