I have this unit as well and I can agree this is the best head unit for a 350z👍👏
It is so good!! My next video is also dedicated to this headunit and it's Micro-HDMI capabilities. I may or may not be turning my car into a gaming PC hahaha really appreciate your comment Tyler!!
@@JohnnyB. if you turn the car on, and leave your phone in your pocket will it automatically start up apple auto? or do you have to select it? Im looking at this headunit
@@benjaminwilson3578 Automatically starts CarPlay! By the time I put my seatbelt on, the phone is connected and ready to use! Definitely one of my favorite features. Appreciate your comment Ben :)
I just bought my 2004 350z yesterday! I've been watching your videos for a long time wanting one and I can't believe I finally have it! So excited to be part of this community, I love the car so far!
To anyone still looking, just be patient and the right one will come. I got mine for around 6k, you just have to really look
How many miles did ur z come with
i really want one... im a junior in highschool hustling and applying for jobs
Where did u look for yours
found mine on fb marketplace for 5,500
doing this when I get my 350z thabks johhny for having a blueprint for the fans❤️
Just got one of these for a 91’ 300zx, I love it.
Really good video I’ll probably get the exact same unit. That thing looks super responsive !!
New head unit looks clean bro 👌 and ik this next video gon be crazy I already know what it is😂
Thinking about doing this to a 2003 Z. Thanks for the video.
Great video man
Def gonna get one of this when I get my HR 🙏🙏
Looks awesome! Right now I'm good with my plug in units held into the cubby with velcro. LOL.
Just bought this stereo after I watched your video! I just picked up my 03 350z about a month ago and its bone stock with only 65k miles. I've always wanted a Z and I'm so happy with it. This is going to be a nice upgrade for the car, I've been playing music out of my iPhone since I got the car hahah. Also I'm very curious what your doing with the hdmi...
I have a very simalar head unit Sony XAV-AX1000. Very nice and good look compared to stock
so in need of this video bro just got my Z and it came with bad aftermarket double din
Perfect timing haha! This one is really nice! Such an improvement on the interior. I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner🙏🏼 thanks for tuning in today (:
hey, i follow you from italy, your videos are spectacular. I wanted to ask you a question about the 350z, is there the possibility of disassembling the plastic that covers the rear dome bar of the boot for a possible repair of the plastic? Thanks and keep it up!
Would be nice if you make videos about the Miata again. She needs some love and attention you know :D
Thanks for your share! I will make the same🎉
I did want to make a few notes about the wiring:
All of the wires match up to their same colored wires (blue+white to blue+white, red to red, yellow to yellow, etc). The one wire that was different was the ORANGE+WHITE wire coming from the back of the Sony harness that says "illumination" actually connects to the SOLID orange wire coming from the OEM car harness (included with the bezel).
There are three wires I did not use whatsoever, two of those wires are on the Sony harness and one of them is on the OEM harness side. Those were the PINK+WHITE wire (this is a speed-in wire to help the GPS track better, but isn't needed due to the GPS module included with the Sony Headunit. There is a PURPLE+WHITE wire, and this one is for the rear-view camera, which I don't have so I didn't use it. THEN lastly, on the OEM side of the harness, there is a SOLID BLUE wire that I taped over and didn't use (make sure this isn't the BLUE+WHITE wire, as it connects to the other BLUE+WHITE wire)
The light green "Parking Brake" wire is a ground wire that is supposed to be attached to the parking brake. This is so certain aspects of the screen can only be used while parked with the brake on and is a safety feature. If you don't want this limitation, you can ground the parking brake wire to any normal ground spot and it will work normally!
MY ONLY GRIPE: I'm writing this 2 days after the install and I'm starting to get the hang of not having a volume knob anymore. It's taking a little bit of time to get used to pressing the Volume - / + to adjust the sound level, but the extra screen width and sensitivity is worth it. Plus, the Volume - / + buttons are pretty high quality and have a good click-feel to them so it's not the worst, and it moves pretty quick when you hold it down for a second or two. Definitely getting used to it and will be something that is second nature in the future.
That is basically everything! If I can think of anything else extra I had to do, I'll add it! Let me know if you have any questions below! :)
Sony XAV-AX6000 - amzn.to/44F6HMC
350z Double Din Screen Housing / Bezel - amzn.to/44HiVV5
What is the solid blue wire for
Does that bezel work for all yesrs of 350z??
Can you make an update video on this head unit ? Like any issues you might’ve found if any
I’m gonna cop this once I get the Z!!
Do you plan on utilizing the 5v pre outs for the subs or speakers? Thats where this unit shines over the ax4000
might cop this after i paint my car 🔥
Highly recommended!! As far as quality-of-life "feel" in the interior, this has really done the trick. So far almost everyone that has ridden with me has said it looks almost OEM just because of how well the headunit housing / screen fit in the dash! Really appreciate your comment man!
I just bought an 03 touring, can this same set up work in an 03 bc this looks soooo good 😭🔥
When you mentioned spending 2 hours in the car when you go out through drive-thru 😂. 💯
...and I just got back haha!! I pretty much have a nightly ritual to spend 2-3 hours in my car in a random fast-food parking lot lol! Catching up on UA-cam videos, replying to comments and planning future videos! Honestly, my car is where I brainstorm the best! Good to see you again rcsc, hope all has been well with you.
It looks really good. I think im buying a fully stock 2003 350z with 58k miles tomorrow! I'm excited to do some of my own upgrades this will definitely be one of them thank you for the helpful video. What year is your 350z?
did you use the same double dinn bracket he linked or a different one buying this soon and i am wondering if it matters
Bro, tell me why 1 DAY before this video drops I was looking to buy the same exact unit for my 350z 😂
Haha great minds think alike!! Forrreal though this thing is awesome, the colors are so vibrant and the screen is really sensitive. I’d say the only thing that I’m still getting used to is the fact that it doesn’t have a volume knob and I need to press the volume up/down buttons… luckily the buttons have a really high-quality feeling click, and if you hold them down, they go up/down pretty quickly. That’s really the only thing I’ve found so far that has taken me time to get used to! Really appreciate your comment Luke!
Is there any more affordable options for a 350z. Doesn’t have to be the BEST just one that works
So the wires on the new screen and double din come separate but you have to tape them together? Or they already come taped together? What did you use to tape them together ?
What spoiler do you have on the Z I am looking for a spoiler for my 05 350z and that one looks very clean
Aye johnny I’m about to pull the trigger on this head unit because of you and this video, did you wire anything to the parking brake? Crutchfield says that’s required for this radio. Thanks bro
Hey! That green wire that I grounded to the frame of the car is the "Parking Brake" ground. Technically you are supposed to connect it to the parking brake, so it only works with the parking brake engaged (safety feature). I just grounded it it to a random spot so I could use it whenever lol Appreciate your comment my friend! :)
finally A mod
Finally!! XD Being completely transparent, I average about $300/month from UA-cam and spend almost all of that on gas to drive around throughout the month haha so saving to buy this $600 headunit actually took me some time. Once the channel is bigger, there will be more mods. Until then, we'll drive the car and just hang out like in most videos, with certain special occasions being Installs :) Really appreciate you tuning in man.
Great video! Been thinking about installing a apple carplay screen into my Z. How do you change the volume with it?
I'm loving it so far! Funny you mention it, turning the volume up and down with the buttons on the bottom is taking me some time to get used to... but it's only been a day and I'm already getting the hang of it! Once the muscle memory is there, we'll be chillin! It is hard to beat just spinning the knob though, definitely will be missed! So far that is my only gripe with the headunit, but it's a worthy trade for the larger screen and great sensitivity! Really appreciate your comment my friend!
Any idea if right hand drive JDM 350z's have different cabling back there?
Do u still have it installed?
.
And does it still work great with no problems nothing?
Well, that’s my mind made up on what screen to go for.
Never mind, doesn’t look like it’s sold in the UK :(
can i use the double din screen bezel for a 2003 350z?
No way I’m waiting for my new head unit to arrive too
Awesome!! It’s such an improvement for the interior of the car, should have done it way sooner🙏🏼 appreciate your comment!!
Is it exclusively apple car play or could i use my android with it
Yay! Apple CarPlay you don’t need a brand new Z
RIGHT!? Haha I was thinking that too, but a new Z would still be pretty sweet XD I think I'd rather have an authentic Nismo 350z though If I was going to spend the $$! Appreciate your comment Jay :)
What size wire connectors did you use?
Can I get the link where u buy the fill for the screen that goes around to fill in the space plz
Yes man, this piece is a 350z interior game changer for all 6.95" headunits! Here is the link - amzn.to/3OkSPSg
get ax 7k or ax9500? Just pull 1din orig out and put 1din to 2din adjustable in? it`s not even that much difference in cash, as a bonus You get 100x4 pre amp an a bigger screen
do you have stock boss speakers?
Hey I was wondering if the 350z makes a lot of noise when ur inside it cuz I heard some people say that you hear the road so much while driving it
sometimes but not really,
Hey! Great question, my other car is a convertible Miata so the 350z is honestly really quiet on the road comparatively haha. Plus with a loud exhaust, there's a tiny bit of drone while driving so that also drowns out some of the road noise. Also, the quality of your tires can really change how loud the road is while driving! Softer rubber will absorb the noise better! Appreciate your comment and you tuning in! :)
What is the HDMI for?
how difficult is this if i never done this before??
Saya pakai Sony xav68 bt ❤😂
You didn’t crimp that Sony harness you bought the Crutchfield service for 36.00 lol and that’s okay, I did too because it’s actually a small price to pay to make it plug n play but at least explain the service that Crutchfield offers instead of claiming their work as yours lol
does the bracket work with 03 as well
Yep, it should!! If it doesn't, I believe there is an option on the same sales page to get the 02-05 version! Appreciate your comment my friend!!
👍
I had this unit when it first came out. Wrecked my z now the unit sits in my closet with my subwoofer and amp😢
Ahhh dang, so sorry to hear my friend. I hope you get another Z soon and re-install everything to it's former glory!! It is a great head unit, definitely feel like I made the right choice. Appreciate you tuning in and leaving a comment! :)
@@JohnnyB. Subs next??
@@JohnnyB. Got a 370!!
Does it only work on ios?
Nope, not only Apple CarPlay. It has Wireless Android Auto as well! I appreciate your comment my friend!
HDMI micro to USB cable send me sir
I get no sound after installing it
@@daquansutherland7618 no use i got it working after some changes with the wires
dang 600 shesh to much
It was a bit expensive, but so far it's been worth every penny!! I think I get into my car to drive around at least 3-4 times a day minimum, so I felt it was a necessary upgrade, plus I didn't want a screen that was super laggy so the extra $ was worth in that aspect as well :) Appreciate your comment Alex!
hi
Hey Patrick!🙌
Can you turn off the engine, the noise is so annoying in the background. 🤢🤢🙄🙄
Good unit for sound. Bloody garbage for anything else.
First
Ayeee, nice. Really appreciate you tuning in!🙏🏼🔥
@@JohnnyB. No problem bro bro
