Add a ground wire from the batter as addition ground. Had the same problem where the unit didn’t turn on. The ground provided was not efficient enough.

Yup you are correct! But in our case, the ground at the stereo plug end was good enough. Thanks for commenting!

Do you think its possible to reuse the dual A/C control assembly from the original head unit? or would I have to get a new assembly unit? Appreciate any help

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Just took a look at the OEM face plate and it appears that the A/C controls are all connected to one circuit board that also controls the stereo so I don't think removing the A/C control assembly would work. The JDM dash kit I purchased from eBay came with the A/C controls so I just went that route.

It doesn't matter what speakers you put in it. If you are using the stock Bose amp, you'll need the PAC harness.

Hi there, found one on ebay -> ebay.to/385zPT2 The prices may vary due to the condition of the bezel. This one seems pretty darn pristine. Quite pricey compared to the Metra kits but worth it in my opinion.

This episode is for people who wish to keep the stock Bose amp. Since you are going with an aftermarket amp, you won't need the Bose audio integration unit like we used.

[@markmoon4602]

There’s 4 connectors from the Bose radio, 2 connect to the pac oem- 1 control but what did you connect the other 2 connectors to?

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Can't remember exactly. I think if no other plugs go to them, just leave them disconnected. The Pac oem-1 should have the speaker wires from the stock amp. Just make sure to wire the blue wire for the amp power.

[@FirstTimersChannel]

I can't say for sure how the install process may differ if at all but after doing some searching it looks like others have retained the stock nav while also upgrading to an in dash double din stereo. Here is a link to a G35 forum on this topic => g35driver.com/forums/audio-video-electronics/259010-oem-navigation-removal-2.html hope that helps answer your question!

[@shinkyogo]

Does anyone have the wiring diagram my headunit is not powering on

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Did you make sure to place the headunit into the dash so the frame holding the headunit will be grounded? That's what happened to us when it didn't power on. Also verify that your harness connections are on properly. The harness kits and stereo should have come with a wiring schematic.

[@anne173]

[@marklengal9990]

Do you have the link to the head unit bezel? I’ll be deleting the factory nav so I’m not sure if it makes a difference

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Hey there and thanks for commenting. We purchased the JDM double din bezel from eBay. Did a quick search and unfortunately it seems there aren't any available at the moment. The factory nav has it's own buttons so if you are doing away with that, the double din we are using in this video should be fine for you. Where your nav unit sits is a storage compartment on my G35. Prices may vary for the jdm double din because it's used. I've seen them go from $150- $200ish but in my opinion... WORTH EVERY PENNY! Keep an eye out on eBay, I'm sure they can be found elsewhere but for more $ and parts sold separately (ex. climate control unit and double din surround).

[@iitsnevonepeart5745]

Where’d you get the dash kit from

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Purchased on ebay. It's quite pricy but well worth it VS the Metra kits. Found one for you but I've seen the prices range from $150 at the lowest to $215 as the highest. It pretty much comes down to the condition of it.

How do I connect my aftermarket radio without using my bose amp? I don't want to use the bose amp. How can I bypass it?

[@FirstTimersChannel]

@@kennylsr.4460 It looks like most people are cutting the factory harness to bypass the amp. This would work if you wanted to go to use a different amp. Here is a video of someone doing this to bypass the Bose amp. (Not a G35 but similar concept) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2eliZimiaefbM0 I would run new thicker gauge speaker wires from the amp to the speakers because depending on the power output of your aftermarket amp, it may be too strong for the tiny factory wiring to the speakers.

[@d9rw]

hey quick question if I were to buy the bezel without the buttons would my original U.S factory buttons fit because I found a JDM bezel with just the trim for cheaper than with the buttons … thank you

[@FirstTimersChannel]

I thought the same as you but unfortunately it won't work like that. The US factory buttons are fused onto the face plate along with the face of the stock stereo. On the JDM it can be removed so that's how they differ. You'll know what I'm talking about as soon as you remove the stock stereo.

[@Bladeofelric]

I have a 2007 g35x with the Bose stereo. If I want to run an aftermarket with alpine amp do I need anything else besides the metro wiring kit and obviously the rca/power wires for the amp? I don’t want to use the Bose amp at all

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Yep you are correct! The only thing you didn't mention is the AM/FM antenna adapter for the back of the head unit if you want to retain radio functions, and if you have the stock steering wheel, for the buttons to work, you'll need the Maestro ADS-MSW Adapter. These two items are listed in the description of this video. Hope that helps!

[@dwightwright6334]

My G35 has a black ground and a black with stripe ground . I connected them both together to stereo harness but get hissing noise when audio on , do one of those wires need to ground to car chasis?

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Hi there and thanks for commenting! Black wires typically are ground so I'm assuming connecting them together should be fine. If possible try connecting them to separate chassis points to see if it cancels out the hissing noise you hear. I'm afraid we are not stereo professionals and can only help to the best of our knowledge or at least what we would try doing to diagnose the issue. Another thing I would do is check each speaker connection to make sure there are no breaks in the wires and that they have a clean connection to each other. If you have an aftermarket amplifier connected, possibly your gain might be too high. Hope these suggestions help you!

Did the scosche dash kit come with all the wires and wiring harness or was there another wire that needed to be bought?

@@PogueMahone00 The antenna is connected to the wiring harness that plugs into your stereo. It has nothing to do with the dash kit. When I say dash kit, I'm referring to the trim panel that houses the stereo.

How much did you pay for the stereo

[@FirstTimersChannel]

About $350 plus tax.

[@FirstTimersChannel]

@Zigarren König Agreed! I love Alpine myself. Had an Alpine stereo in every car I've owned :) . Stereo installs are fun, especially when it's done it's always a noticeable upgrade to stock. Not like engine mods all the time lol.

Also what year is this one 2005 coupe?

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Yessir this is a 2005 G35 coupe

Did your climate control still work, ive seen people say theirs don’t work because their missing certain trim

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Climate controls all work perfectly. The JDM trim does not come with the JDM climate controls so I'm a little confused as to what you heard/read. Can you elaborate a little more? The climate control plugs directly into the factory harness so there is no custom work here. All plug and play.

[@kanseiblu6512]

@@FirstTimersChannel yea, sorry I was a little vague, I heard the with the jdm trim kit, they lost access to ac and heat, apparently there is something you have to purchase to make it work, I’m not sure what it’s called, if you didn’t need it then I guess it works

[@FirstTimersChannel]

@@kanseiblu6512 Hmm... I can't see why honestly. I ordered like for like. I have the dual climate control system so I ordered the JDM trim piece and dual climate controls to match. There is a version without the dual climate controls so perhaps the people you heard of having issues may have purchased the incorrect version? I'm only guessing. Or perhaps the wrong year? Keep in mind the AC controls with the dial knob only came out in 2005+ G35's in the US. 03-04 models came with an up/down arrow button. Not sure if the harness may be different for those models. Hopefully somebody with more knowledge about G35's can answer that for you.

[@kanseiblu6512]

@@FirstTimersChannel yea exactly!! I have the 06 revup, could you guide me through which kits to get? Perhaps leave links to everything required for successful install and full functionality? Subbed:)

[@FirstTimersChannel]

@@kanseiblu6512 Thanks for the sub! If you're retaining the stock Bose amp, all you'll need is the PAC unit linked in the description. The connections there will splice into the in dash radio harness that's included with the stereo. Unfortunately, prices for the JDM face plate and buttons may vary as I've seen on eBay. The better the condition the pricier it gets but in my opinion, totally worth the price for a clean look. You'll have to shop around for that but I got mine off eBay. Another thing to note, the way mine is setup will not retain the factory steering wheel controls. If you want that, you'll need this => www.crutchfield.com/p_794ADSMSW/iDatalink-Maestro-SW-Steering-Wheel-Control-Adapter.html For AM/FM to work you will need this => www.ebay.com/itm/40-NI10-Antenna-Adapter-For-Infiniti-Nissan-to-install-radio-stereo-/252663668042?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 Both of those devices I did not install on my car as I have since switched out to a Momo steering wheel and never listen to the radio. But that should complete your install successfully. Hope that helps!

[@supermodelatlanta1354]

I'm so cunfussed after watching this 😔

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Sorry you felt that way. This video wasn't meant to be a step by step how to. What part are you confused with?

[@supermodelatlanta1354]

Thanks. The wires at the end you said you connect after the fact. I'd message again when I get the radio. Thank so much. You guys are still awsome

[@FirstTimersChannel]

You must be referring to the blue wire. At first we thought since we were using the stock amp, that we didnt need to wire in the blue wire. We then realized the blue wire is meant for powering amps, even the stock one. So in the end just wanted to clarify with our viewers to make sure to wire it in. We're not pros but love to figure stuff out on our own so I can see why it gets confusing 😅. Thanks for the kind words, if you get stuck when you're working on yours, feel free to comment and we'll help the best way we can! 👍

Why are you wearing masks?

[@FirstTimersChannel]

At the time we filmed the video, LA county had a mandatory mask requirement for people from different households in close proximity. That requirement is still a thing until June 15th for us in LA.
