have some of you done this yourself? Does it fit snug into the stock radio space or do i need a custom mount?
I'm thinking of gettin this one or the avic - d1.

 

good luck with that i had my installer do it in my car and it took him close to 8hrs to finish and he has built plenty of show winning stuff.

 

Doesn't fit snug. It has a quarter inch extrusion but I can live with it. Plus the silver trim makes it look so stocky.

Take it to an authorized dealer to install unless you want to void your 3 year warranty.

 

Yeah man, let the pros deal with the headunit.

 

I think I'm going with the avic-d1 now... probably will never watch a dvd anyways. I'm still thinking of doing this install myself so for anyone that got the avic-d1 and did a self install what mounting kit did you buy?

 

Does anyone have pics of this "quarter inch extrusion" ? Im planning on getting the 5495 and i amuse the fitment should be the same. it would be a damper if i cant get it flush.

 

Installation of these units is very simple if you know how wiring works. Easier now because of wiring harnesses. But everything is mapped out. Hardest part will be locating the speed pulse wire. Ask members here or call your Nissan dealer and ask the service tech. Everything else is straight forward.

 

Agreed with Randy350Z. Had mine installaed within 1.5hr not counting the time to search the forums for the speed pulse wire.

 

Also, if you have the Bose system on the touring, you will need to get the Bose interface from Soundgate. (65.00) Goto www.soundgate.com .

 

please post pics of this screen in the z thank you

 

see my install............
