I am new to the forum but not to the Z! I just picked up a 2005 350z touring roadster. I have the navigation system but.... The sound system is Bose and I do not have satellite, Bluetooth or have a need for the cassette player! I am looking for a great sound system to install, where I can use the Bluetooth technology, satellite and android compatible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Don't buy a clarion touch screen head unit. Mine is a 350$ nightmare. It decides to not work whenever it pleases

 

Go Kenwood. Any DDX or DNX is great.

 

There re a million options out there. You'll need to be a bit more specific in how far you want to go with your system.

My 07 base didn't have the Bose (but from what I hear, the Bose isn't great either), so I replaced everything. New head unit, front components, rear two ways, 2 12" subs, and amps for mids/highs and bass.

If you're just looking at a new head unit, I've been happy with the Pioneer units that I've owned. Many have Bluetooth built in (lesser models require an add-on), are satellite ready, and you should be able to use your android by either pairing via Bluetooth or using the USB connection.

 

i personally like Pioneer and Alpine products. glad you're getting rid of the crappy Bose system.

 

I personally prefer a professional install. I went to Cruthchfield and got tech advice. They also provided me with an installer and this was prepaid through the Crutchfield website. I bought a JVC headunit with all the bells and whistles -bluetooth,traffic,news,weather nav,dvd/cd player, usb/3mm plug AV connect. 5 3/4" Infinity component speakers for the doors and a freeair 10" subwoofer. These were powered by a 4 channel 400watt JBL amplifier which I mounted on the floor of the cubby.

 

i got a single din pioneer with b tooth works with androd came with all the wires it's got the rc jacks and plugs you need ran a amp just for the sub works great for me took about two hours to install if you have problems with your nav door just move it side to side and it will work again for the space i have in the 350z the system i got works great cost me 175 total not counting the amp or the sub speaker it does bump it's got 6 rca jack one for the amp one for each side of the car
