If it wouldn't be too inconvenient could one of you guys post a picture of how you have the wires for the controls hooked into that terminal? I'm still a little confused on how they should go, but I am super relieved to know I can do it. I'm about to order the parts.

I see from the picture on courtesy parts that it comes with that terminal thing too. Do I take the wires out of that and just put them in the one on my car? Or use the one that comes with the controls? Sorry, I'm confused on this. As I previously posted, if some one could snap a picture of theirs it would help me a lot.
EDIT: Sorry guys, I think I finally see what you're saying. I'm supposed to take out that whole gray terminal thing with the red wire in it, then replace that with the gray harness that comes with the controls. Am I right? Sorry for my confusion. Haha Just want to make sure I do this right.

The ECU must be flashed with the software from a higher end ECU. The way to do this is via an UpRev reflash. This can be done by: a local tuner with the Uprev package, sending your ECU to Uprev for reflash, or having an Uprev usb tuner cable with Osirus Standard or Tuner license. Either way an Uprev tune is needed so your looking at a performance upgrade.

Well that sucks. So I would have to shell out $300+ just on software and then buy parts on top of that for cruise? There is no 'higher end ECU' floating around? All I want is the CC option, don't need or want more power. This mod will have to wait if so. Don't have crazy amounts to throw at a CC system right now.

Parts are ordered! After that I just have to install them and make the trip to Uprev!
By the way I'm jealous at how cheap the dealer got your parts. From my local dealer the total was over $180, hence why ordered instead of picking up.

So this is the sequence I need to do for my 2008 350z Base?...
Buy these two parts and install around pedal area...
-25300-at300
-25300-62JOE
Buy this part and install in steering wheel (need to take out airbag for install, then put back in)
-25550-CF40A
After those three parts need to configure the car computer. This is the part I don't quite understand. How do I get the software (I don't want to change anything about the performance about the car) and how do I install it in the car?
After these steps I should have cruise control on my base 2008 350z w/o lights in dash?
Please let me know if I got this right and thanks for the amazing find guys. One thing I really want on my base is the CC followed by a LSD but that is way off in the future.

This is off topic but will give you my 2 pennies worth about a LSD. go with the stock VLSD out of a higher model Z, they work great. I had a cusco 1.5way in my car and it sucked, it always locks and ulocks in parking lots or just turning. It will being going up for sale soon.
Plus you can't burn it up like a vlsd

Hey guys, parts get here Friday and are going to be installed this weekend. Just one thing I wanted to check on is taking off the steering wheel. Is there anything in particular I should know? Or is it just turn it right until it locks, take it off and put it back on again? Is it guaranteed to line back up? Any help on that would be appreciated. Really the only thing I'm sheepish about at the moment.

If you do wanna take the wheel off though just remove the large nut on the steering shaft. Then before pulling the wheel, take a Sharpe and mark a line on the steering shaft and steering wheel. Then when you put the wheel back on, just line up your marks.

How can I install the steering controls without removing the wheel? When I took out the airbag last weekend it looked like I wouldn't be able to get the right steering trim piece off without removing it. Please let me know how to without removing it. That would make things a lot easier!

I and others have answered question after question for you and held mt "tongue" but enough is enough.
Look at it, work out what needs to be done OR pay some one to do it for you.

I understand that you, ian99rt and fla350tt have answered the many questions I've had, and I really appreciate it. The three of you have done this before, I have not, that is why I have these questions. I'm not trying to annoy anybody. I'm sorry if my questions come off as pestering. You have to understand, though, you did something that not very many people on this forum have done, so you're going to be asked questions about it.
I completely understand that it's plug and play, thats why I'm doing it. Like i said previously, I removed my airbag to see what exactly I would need to do to install those steering controls and I found that the right trim piece would not be able to be removed without removing the steering wheel. So I attempted to use your advice last weekend of "work out what needs to be done" and what I worked out was that I would need to remove the steering wheel. Now, I've never removed it, thats why I was asking about anything in particular I need to know when doing it. Then there are two replies stating that I do not need to remove the steering wheel to install the controls. Hence my question on how to do that. I did not find a way to install them without removing the steering wheel, you know a way, so I asked you. It seems that it would be a more convient way to install them, so I would like to know how. But again, I apologize for the numerous questions. I'll just remove the steering wheel and line it up with the advice from joeysr20det.
Thanks for all the help, you guys.
