I just ordered a pioneer AVH-4000NEX to replace my current 6-CD Bose system in my 07 350ZR. I hear that this new Pioneer model is also going to support CarPlay soon. So, am all excited.

However, how do I do it? Are there any DIY guides to replace the stock Bose with an after marker Double Din System? Is it a hard one?

I tried to search the DIY threads, but could not find any...

Thanks!

Search the DIY threads (they are here); also search the threads hereabout installing a H/U.

Thanks! Do I need to buy anything in addition to the new Pioneer receiver? Like cables etc? Would it just fit flush in place of the existing bose system? I have steering wheel controls today - would these work just fine with the new Pioneer system too? And do I need to make a hole somewhere to have the female USB port ?

You will need:

a dash kit from Scosche, Metra, search?
since you have Bose, you need an interface module, Pac-audio makes one and I'm sure others do, too
you'll need a steering wheel control module as well to retain your steering wheel controls, also made by Pac-audio and other companies
you can make a hole for your female USB if you want to be fancy. I have mine ran into the cubby with about 6 inches of slack.

Thanks John! I was hoping it would be a straight up swap.. Now, am leaning to get this done from some AV guy..

Do it yourself. The hardest part is removing the "water fall" and even then thats easy just tedious.
I have my auxiliary coming out the eBrake and tucked by it. I have my female USB under the coin holder in the center. I have bluetooth so I never use those anyways, but theyre there.


What module are you guys talking about? I replaced my Bose with a Kenwood double DIN and used a Metra harness. The Bose works perfect and sub still thumps.

What do you mean by waterfall? Mine is a 07 Z. Hope the Metra harness works.

the center console where that houses everything from the three gauges up top all the way down to the AC controls
