The packaging of my unit said it was for 03-5 Zs. But I installed it on my 06 and it works perfectly. As far as I know there is no difference between the interiors of the 06 and 07, so it should work for you as well. Only issue I could see would be if they changed the head unit to accomodate blue tooth...

BTW, you could call USA Spec and ask them about 07 compatability yourself. Their number is 626-336-3836 (9-4 PST).

Thumbs down

Hello Guys,

Just wanted to drop a quick FYI- This doesn't work on the 07 with Navi/Bose system. Not sure if it's because of the bluetooth or what, but the head unit does not have the sat port in the back. So you are able to feed it power but not able to do anything else. I just got it and try it out, which i should have pulled the radio out before doing that.

Well good luck, i'll keep looking around as well in case something works...

I've got a question about instalation. I know that you pop up the shifter boot and remove those 2 screws. But the next step is where I've got issues. With factory navigation arent the last two screws under the nav control panel? If so how do you pop up that panel without jacking it up. Mines a 06 and there is not much of a gap to pop it out. Any suggestions?

Here you go: http://www.carstereohelp.com/stereor...s350zRadio.htm
hope that helps

On the 07 if anyone is interested, the control panel cannot be just popped up. On the side that's right next to screen, you have to pop a little cover, then remove two screws for the control panel to come out. Then after you have the 2 screws behind it to be able to remove console. Also there are two more on the bottom side behind the ac controls on the 07 as well that am not sure the previous versions had.

Good luck

Default wiring harness detail

Hey,

Installed the unit in my 2006 enthusiast, base radio. Works great.

The factory instructions to connect the harness/plugs to the radio are a bit weak. See the following more more info:

USA Spec instructions don't tell you, but the cable has 3 connectors. You must disconnect the largest connector that is plugged into the stereo and plug it into the female plug on the cable. The matching male connector (from adaptor's cable) plugs into the stereo instead of the one that was disconnected. This essentially connected the adapter in-line with the wires (probably just few of them) that used to go directly from the car to the stereo.

The 3rd and last plug from the cable is plugged into the empty (CD Changer) slot in the stereo. This completes the electrical part of the installation. Unfortunately the manufacturer didn't bother to elaborate beyond "connect the adapted to the stereo".

Hope this helps someone.

Later, JT

Does anyone know if this will work with a G35, 06, stock HU without navigation?

I just bought the car yesterday so have not removed the center console yet to check if it has the connectors

I just installed this on my 03 G35 (sorry kids Bose comes standard with the G lol) without Navi over the weekend. It was quite a ***** to install on the G. It is a great little mod though. I wish I could switch artists and still control my IPod while it is connected. I do like however how you can switch songs and all with the steering wheel controls


Had to tear out the glovebox and all, and all of the shroud underneath the steering wheel as well. It also didn't come with installation instructions so I had to google and search the forums before I installed it.


Here it is installed.

Bose comes standard with Premium Package-equipped G's. You can get a G without the Premium Package and the accompanying Bose stereo.

I think I'm going this route on my G35:

How is the PA-11 NIS volume compare to the volume of the CD player? I went a different route and I had to buy a line amplifier to match the output that the stock Bose CD player has. Only drawbacks are that I get some hiss at no volume and distortion at levels above a volume setting of 22.

Any pics of the ebay thing that displays text on the Bose radio display? How easy is it to use? This looks like a good option but I want some feedback before jumping on this item.

You can adjust individual or groups of songs in iTunes as well as set an EQ level.

A few songs I've had to do this to boost the volume.

Of course if you are an **** retentive audiophile nut you would run everything flat, then again no audiophile nut would be listening to the stock system.

The only reason you would need to boost the volume would be for the varying quality of MP3 files you have on your ipod, which you would have to do anyways if you were just wearing headphones. Stolen (limewire, kazaa, etc.) music (which is usually of horrible quality anyways) and music you download off itues never sounds as good as the music you rip from your personal CD's.
