i just bought an 04 se with no bose. the system is currently factory. i am putting my amp and subs (2 10's pushed by 1000 watts) in the trunk and i have new infinity 6x9's coming to replace the blown ones in the rear deck. I need advise on replacing the HU. should i replace it or leave it. I like the way everything is intergraded into the car but i want the control an aftermarket deck gives. i am also concerned about what the display will look like if i replace the deck. pics would help.



P.S. yes i am a sorry

 

replace it. metra sells this complete kit that replaces the entire central dash piece. you'll have to relocate the climate controls, but that's easy. everything you need to install an aftermarket deck and relocating the controls are included in the metra kit. as for the LCD display, only the bottom portion and right side will work. anything relating to volume and station information won't be displayed. ac/heat info, the clock, and outside temp will still work.

my dash with the kit and an eclipse deck.

 

can the factory system be restored when i get ready to sell the car

 

sure, just swap everything back in.

 

has anyone put a remote gain control on their system and what parts did you use to make it happen.

 

remote gain control? like from the amps to the front?

 

that is exactly what i am looking for

 

well if the amps have them as an accessory, just run the control up front. the lines are usually similar to a telephone wire. so just run the wire under the carpet and such, and into the dash or wherever you want the control **** to be located.

 

is there a thread that has pics of a rear deck 6x9 install on a 6th gen. My new infiniti's are in and i would like to know what i am doing before i go tearing into my seats

it's fairly easy. it would be easier if you take our the rear seats. but i managed to get the rear deck off without taking our the seats. just be careful with the B pillar panels. the side curtain airbag stuff and canisters are behind it. don't go stabbing a tool in there and start prying.

 

thanks i was looking at your rebuilt thread and noticed you had no carpet on the under the rear deck. i have dynomat through out the trunk do you reccomend taking out the carpet in the trunk as well

 

i removed that cover under the deck quite some time ago. but yeah, i'd go ahead and deaden the rear deck as well if you have deadening left.

 

Installed the 6x9's and dynamated the rear deck rattles are gone. traded my 2 10's for one rockford 12. Everything sounds good. i still dunno if i want to upgrade the deck. I am playing my mp3 through the tape player. My premier deck has an aux in and i would love to control the subs. Aftermarket decks just don't flow with the interior. They just look out of place to me. is there a deck that matches better.

 

i decided to install my deck. has anyone installed stering wheel controls with after market decks if so where did you place the transmitter

 

make ABSOLUTELY SURE the head unit's ground is good. don't just rely on the ground from the wiring harness. the pioneer's RCAs are very very VERY sensitive and any sudden impulse through the head unit can cause the internal micro fuse to blow, wrecking the preouts useless or becoming extremely noisy.

i would run an additional ground to the chassis somewhere. i went through two pioneer radios recently.

 

Have you installed steering wheel controls

 

nope. no need really. the controls on the deck itself are within arm's reach. i hardly even use the remote my radio came with.

 

the deck is so far down i would rather have the steering wheel control

Has anyone installed the PAC steering wheel controls for pioneer SWI-PS.

 

i have the pioneer swi-ps for pioneer head units... works well =)

 

SWI-PS is easy to install just ahve to know the right wires and resistors and the instructions will give you those.

 

Metra dash kit and wiring harness came in last night. Still waiting on the antenna adapter and steering wheel control. I'm a little worried because the opening in the dash kit looked small

 

Got it all installed this weekend but my rear door speakers are not on please help

 

I figured it out. i hooked my remote wire to my sub amp. and the factory amp wasn't turning on. thanks for the help guys

 

I am ready to replace the door speakers now. i replaced the 6x9's on the rear deck with infinity reference because i was going to keep the factory deck. Since i replaced the deck should i stay with infinity for the doors or use another brand? Are the speakers in the front doors a component system or can they be replaced with coaxial speakers?

 

they're components. the tweets are in the sail panels. i personally wouldn't go for infinity...and more along the lines of DLS, Rainbow, Hertz, or Boston Acoustics.

Whats your budget?

 

I don't wanna spend more than 200 for components and i whan to keep the rear doors under 150

 

does anyone know where the antenna is located?

 

per my question above, i was forced to change the roof panel on my 04 max and after the shop installed the new panel whenever i turn on the defroster the radio goes out. im assuming installer crossed my wires inducing interference. help please.

regards,
G
