Ive checked at bestbuy.com and circuitcity.com and they say the Z1 will not fit in a 350Z. The car has a double bay, shouldn't it fit?

 

Thanks for the help.

 

In addition, anyone installers in the SF bay area that are recomended? Any bay area installers on the board?

 

I'm new to the board, so if this is somewhere, please let me know.

 

Again, thanks.

 

[edit, added thanks]

Well they are complete morons and idiots. The Z1 will fit just fine in the Z, thats what I'm driving now and I know several folks that have it in there.

 

I'm not sure if links are allowed here or not, so if this gets edited drop me a PM. Check out my350z.com, under the modifications forum they have one for audio. Great Z forum.

 

Heres a couple links with pics that I found by searching there:

In general, links are allowed (at least by me). Those are just fine. I don't think there is any reason to kill stuff like that. Maybe if you made a web site like "Ducatiboy Sucks" and here is a link to that, I might erase that one :)

No problem, just as I come and go to new boards I try to be respectful and not post stuff that might get edited out later.

 

Oddly enough one of the posts in the threads I linked to re-links back to the flasher bypass on this site :)

 

Thanks.

I belong to a Lincoln forum site and someone there posted a link to another Lincoln site with some more information and the link was promptly deleted by the owner. I thought that was a little mean. I guess he wanted all the Lincoln discussion there. So I know why you might have been worried.

 

But we try not to be too strict with what is discussed and linked to.

thanks DC, I had a sinking suspicion that the Circuit City AND Best Buy websites were BS. They're charging 2400 for the unit anyway, so the can go pound sand.

 

Really looking forward to getting the unit installed in the next couple weeks. I've got a single bin deck in there now, and it looks lousy.

 

ducatiboy, I'm working on the website now...:-)

They use the same outdated info. There is a double din trim piece for the 350z that makes a double din screen look stock. It comes with the 997402 I beleive. If that's not the part number it comes with the metra dash kit for the 350z. On a side note it's kind of amazing that the circit city website says it doesn't fit since we carry that kit in the roadshop.

I was also told by Circuit City that the Z1 would not fit. I was told by Best Buy they could do it and that they would get back to me. That was in May. Finally did it myself and finally finished the dash bezel. I love it. Yellow is temporary.

Just go for it. You will love it

ok, I'm gonna go for it. I'm starting a new job next week with an extra long commute - so the XM traffic info should help. I'm pretty psyched!

 

Thanks for the info!

Yeah I got mine in my Z. Its a 2006 GT and it fit just fine.

azote that looks nice.

 

 

above, ditch the yellow and make it look more presentable.

Wow guys - they look great. My Z and my tedious bay area commute could definitely use this. SF to San Jose everyday BLOWS...

 

So, tell me, anyone know a good installer in the bay area? Someone I can go to and get the whole thing taken care of?

 

Cuz, ya know, I got a tax return burning a hole....

Two I'll throw out. tillithz posts a lot on this site with a lot of good and acurate information. He's in Oakland and I don't know him but it's obvious "he knows of what he speaks". I'm down in Fremont and before learning he was close, I went to Autohaus in Hayward. No complaints - decent all around.

thank you, digxrayguy, or should I just say ty?

 

Thanks again - looks like I got a trip to the east bay in a couple weeks.

I'm currently getting the Z1 installed by someone who has done a lot of other modifications for me (mainly power enhancements versus electronics though). If it all turns out well, I'll let you know.

 

He's in Santa Clara so might be easier for you.
