I used these items for my install the Parrot Asteroid Smart in my 2014 370z.

- Parrot Asteroid Smart radio
- Metra 40-NI12 Nissan 07-Up Antenna Adapter
- Metra 70-7552 Radio Wiring Harness for Nissan 07-Up
- Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface
- Axxess AX-SWC-PARROT Parrot Steering Wheel Adapter Harness
- Nissan Livina CMOS NTSC Car Rear View Backup Reverse Camera (ebay $25)
- Trim removal kit

It was necessary to relocate some of the pins (used rear speaker) on the Metra 70-7552 Radio harness to support the steering wheel controls.

I did my homework before doing the install:
Double checked 370z radio harness pin layouts
Matched car’s harness with the Metra 70-7552
Relocated pins for steering controls
soldered and shrink tubed connections.

The install was basically plug & play, the Nissan radio brackets had 4 small nubs that need to be filed down or snipped off to allow the radio to fit flush with the brackets.

Installing the backup camera was the time consuming part. The camera is installed by taking out the left license plate light and replacing it with the camera housing. .

I fed the camera wire through the existing grommet in the left side trunk area.
For the reverse wire tape I removed the left rear tail light and tapped into the +12v wire the backup light bulb.
Removing the trim panels to run the wire to the front while being careful not to break anything took some time.

I installed the navigation antenna behind the storage center storage compartment. There is blank space above the compartment where it fit perfectly.

I purchased the radio from Amazon for $500, I'm very satisfied with it.

I've had no problems with it and the touch screen response excellent. The steering wheel controls function pretty close to factory speeds.
