[/quote] I don't know anything about the 350Z, but a few people installed them into them around here. I did some backgrounds for them: [url=http://www.sminntech.com/350zImages/]http://www.sminntech.com/350zImages/[/url] [quote name="lrd350z"]and also a questain for the dvd bypass i read a few forums on it if i just disconect the e brake ground and in the initial start up of the unit flip the lights on and off and that will work ??? not sure if i quite understand that any un put will be greatly appreciated ! thankz again everyone!!![/b][/quote] Depends on when your unit was made: [url=http://www.sminntech.com/z1flash.html]http://www.sminntech.com/z1flash.html[/url] Either flash the lights or ground 2 wires.

sportsfan21 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 [quote] i heard its pretty hard to find all the wires for the unit to be wired up correct![/quote] Its not that hard to hook up, as long as you have some experience hooking up car electronics. Once you find the correct wires, its just a matter of running the wires correctly. If you give the year, make and model of you 350Z, someone here should be able to give you the locations of the wires needed. [quote]and also a questain for the dvd bypass i read a few forums on it if i just disconect the e brake ground and in the initial start up of the unit flip the lights on and off and that will work ??? [/quote] That may work, that may not work. It depends on when your Z1 was manufactored. Before July 06, then that should work so long as you hook up your illumination wire properly. You can also buy ducatiboys circuit and it will do that automatically. If your unit was made after July 06, then there is a simply bypass. Search the Z1 hacks/mods forum to see how to do it.

bdmpastx Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 It is pretty easy. Get a Metra kit and hook it up. The VSS wire is the only white wire with silver dot on the A/C control box just below the stock radio. Oh and on the wiring, you will need to hook up the remote amp turn on to the 2 blue wires on the metra kit. Other than that, it is easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cirbirus Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I did the install myself and I know nothing about car stereos. I even installed an Xbox: Grand Theft Auto in your Z: [url=http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=avicxbox05va8.jpg][img]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/5406/avicxbox05va8.th.jpg[/img][/url] Before I made a custom bracket: [url=http://img488.imageshack.us/my.php?image=z10vh.jpg][img]http://img488.imageshack.us/img488/5516/z10vh.th.jpg[/img][/url] I also installed dual 10" base speakers.
