Cruise Control?
nvm don't care. Airbag/steering wheel is like $700+. Not worth it unless you crashed and had to replace stock airbag

Unfortunately, the cruise control does NOT work due to the wiring locations that are placed at different locations in the connector.

The first picture shows how the original 350z wire looks like compare to the 370z wires.

The only wire that matches the 08 wiring components is the brown wire, which deals with the audio controls. If I can manage to change the 370z wiring to matches the 350z wiring then the cruise control may work. The problem is getting the wires out is the issue. I have to find the right size terminal pin removal, which will take time....possibly longer since im busy with work and school.

Someone link to a wiring schematic of the 370z. I'll work out where the pins need to be swapped to. Multi-continent, forum-wide mod project begins

That not necessary. I was searching for the correct tools to remove the pin wires because a typical paper clip was not helpful until I found this thread.

http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f...0/index11.html


Frontiers has a similar wire configuration to the 350z because based on what I am experiencing with the controls is similar to what the frontier expert has experienced.

According to Ino8, the red and black wire are for the Cruise Control switches. The wire colors for the Audio switches are white, blue, and brown. And the green wire is for the horn.

Here are the buttons on the 370z steering wheel that work and not work:

Buttons that work:
-Mode
-Track Next
-Volume Up (answer phone button)
-Horn (Decrease Volume Button)

Buttons that do NOT work:
-All Cruise
-Volume Down
-Track Repeat

On the 370z steering wheel, the green wire is connected to the audio section where wire blue is suppose to be and as a result the volume decrease button becomes the horn noise. One time a crazy driver almost hit me due to his wreckless driving habits and I tried to hit the horn but realized that I pressed the wrong button, which is the horn button in my case due to the different locations of the wires in the connector. The volume decrease button is considered as the horn.

Right now I am waiting for the special tools to remove the pin wires to arrive. Once the tools arrive, I'll finish the problem I let you know how it goes.

That made me laugh out loud, I dunno, just a funny visualization.

Great job OP! Props to you.
I swapped a Skyline steering wheel into my 240sx with some modifications.

Looking forward to seeing the final results.

**Update

Everything WORKS!


Once the tools came, I immediately made the changes to the wire pins.

Here are the wire comparisons.

As the picture shows, the cruise system now works and the Horn noise is now activated in the middle of the airbag.

bump.

Can we get a pin-out diagram? Is the non-bluetooth steering wheel switch set required to make it work? I'm seriously interested in doing this with the new 2014 Nismo Z steering wheel.

No the non-bluetooth steering wheel is not required. I have both and they work fine. The blue tooth would require the wires to be at different locations due to the addition of the bluetooth buttons. I just used the bluetooth for the time being until I can finish it completely. I do not have the time to finish it but I have some pictures to show the wire comparisons.

The left wire is what the 370z originally looks like while the one on the right is the modifications I made to make it work.

The horn, cruise, next song, airbag, increase sound, and repeat work 100%. I have to change the wires to get the decrease volume to work and its good to go. But i do not have the time like i use to so it will take some time.

I'm looking into doing this on my car, might be a couple more months until I have the time, but I'll definitely post up a DIY with wiring diagrams when I'm done.
