I haven't heard from Eddie yet so I don't know when I will be getting my nav parts. Looks like we're waiting on 07zrider to see if his parts fit. I hope they do lol

 

Probably. But its not cheap. As i posted above they told me $69 CDN. That sounds pretty high for a piece of plastic too me.

But if you want i'll buy it on your behalf and mail it too you. Or the dealer may even deal with you directly. Not sure.

 

How much is that american? And what would shipping be? The only thing that I am worried about is that this will not be the right part. I would hate to blow all that money on the wrong little strip of plastic lol

 

This is great.
I have an 06 base that I would like to do this conversion to and I'm willing to spend the money to do it.

So I take it from reading this that the 400$ panel just covers the plastic panel and wiring harness for the nav unit.

What nav units will fit it and what else do I need besides a nav unit and the panel.

Thanks!

 

The part numbers are earlier in the thread. But there is a third part that no one in the US seems to be able to get. A small finisher that goes between the switch assembly and the screen.

 

is the switch assy functional or is it just sitting there pretty?

 

It's not functional unless you make it functional. It comes with a wire harness that plugs into the back but it would be up to you to wire it. I am thinking of wiring it up to a computer remote and have the buttons run macros on the carPC with Girder software. Here is a link to basically what I am thinking of doing.

Wow. Interesting.. Just make sure this guy 'Igor' isn't hacking into your PC or anything!

 

^thanks foochdawg

wow that would actually be pretty sweet.

i'm actually a programmer myself and have always wanted to whip something up for the 350z. I actually have this idea of putting all three trip monitor into all three gauge pod. With each still programmable to what you want it to read. I also wanted them picking up on the oil sensor and battery as well, just to keep the stock function.

 

I am a software developer but for mainframe type stuff...nothing I know I can develop for a car haha. But I do know alot about cars from my dad being a mechanic and I do all my own work. I know alot about computers and software from my past in computers, education, and career. I like to do new things that make people ask you "How did you do that?!?" lol "If it's worth taking the time to do...it's worth taking the extra time to do it RIGHT." is what my dad always says haha.

 

good news!! i did the install tonight. it works on an 07! wow i didnt know what i got my self into. i was like a 6 hour install. i installed an eclipse avn6610 and a power acustik 7 in moniter. im extreamly tired and its like 5 in the morning. i forgot to take pics so ill post them some time tomorow. i also ran all the wiring for subs that what took so long . im just waiting for my zencloser

 

That's niec to know. You used the part numbers in this thread to order? Mine just showed up in Cali Friday and were shipped out, so mine are on the way.

How does it look without that finisher? Take pictures about that too se we can see if it it something we can deal with while we wait for that finisher to be available lol

 

sorry it took me so long to post ive been really busy. this is befor

this is after




heres a pis of the install without the finisher piece

 

sorry about the crappy pics. i used my phone. this install was done on an 07 and i used the part #s mentioned in this thread.

 

How much did it run you? & the first two pics... did not have the finisher piece either?

Probably won't even be noticeable unless you tried to look for it at that weird angle.

 

07zrider. So you used the following?

68499-CF40A - Finisher Piece (You dont have it in your install yet correct?)
68260cf42a - Instrument panel (This is the main console piece?)
28395cf405 - Electrical - Navigation system components (this is the button piece?)

 

that whole install ran me around $2300 . $1700 for the eclipse avn6610 head unit. $414 for the trim and switch assy. $150 for the power acustik screen. if thoes part# you posted are the part# mentioned in this thread then yes thoes are the part #s i used. no i dont have the finsher piece. its barly noticeable unless you look at it from a high angle. ill try to post some cleaner pic's in a few days. as of right now my z is under a foot of snow.

 

So that is in your 07 right? If I order those part #'s nissan can install that shiiit into my 07 correct? that's amazing!

 

Courtesy Nissan says that the part is on national backorder with no release date. I guess the only real hope would be to get one from canada but the one person who said they knew where it was hasn't written back so I don't think that will lead anywhere.

 

Sorry.. I know its in montreal. My dealership who offereed to get it for me was West End Nissan in Edmonton. Phone: 780-486-1780

If the dealership isnt willing to deal with you cause of the border then let me know and ill order it on your behalf.
