It's likely that after spending more than you already have in the parts, it won't work properly.
Some other points to consider:
1) If it's from an 03" as you seem to indicate, it's now 4 years old and may benefit from an updated navigation DVD disk.
2) There are better navigation devices available, and they are designed for simple fitment into a Z.
3) The Z's OEM Bose components are low-end and deliver poor audio. The amp is too small, and the speakers are poorly constructed.
I think a better choice is selling what you have and using the $$ to purchase good aftermarket stuff. You can probably find buyers who need to replace the factory stuff for one reason or another.
