After reading many threads about the AVIC-D3, I just have a couple questions that I couldn't find answers to... (2004 350z Touring Vert)

1. If I do get the bluetooth add-on, where can I put it?

2. Is drilling required?

3. Is soldering required?

4. Where are some places you put the ipod cable?

5. Where are some places you put the nav receiver (Trying to avoid dash and I don't have that big strug bar in the back)?

Thanks!

and also the search button

 

1. I placed the bluetooth box in underneath the white box inside the center console.

2. no

3. no

4. I placed mine in the cubby hole on top of the HU.

5. Inside center console using that magnet that came with the HU and have a perfect reception.

Gl with your install

 

Why do you even bother replying if you can't contribute anything? Seriously, you are useless in the FS section, and your useless here. Welcome to my ignore list.

 

Thank you so much! I'll probably use your locations. Anyone else?

 

thats the my350z bunch for you

 

if you know what you are doing, then i would solder. You don't have to but once you see how many wires will be behind the console and how cramped things will be, you'll understand why i suggest this. I soldered everything before i installed..everything is neat and the wires aren't coming apart. I also used heat shrink wrap around the soldered part. Good luck.

 

1. Beneath the AC

4. Drilled a small hole through the cubby.

5. Top of the dash board.

 

1. i put my underneath the little white box too
2.no
3.no
4. i ran the cable into the center console behind the ebrake, but i already had it apart to wire speakers, if your just putting in the head unit i would just run it into your cubby hole above the radio
5. i ran mine up through the top of the dash right next to the windshield, works good and you wont spot it unless your looking for it

 

I'd love to but my soldering experience is very limited. I also am interested in a clean uninstall should the car need to be parted with Any pics of your install? I'd love to see it!
