replacing non-nav with nav to add double DIN
 

Crazy idea, but i really really HATE the nav in my 2018 Nismo, i went to an audio shop and they tore down the whole system and it isnt' really upgradable to keep any of the parts, including just adding a double din above the existing control knobs for aircon/heat. They suggested that I switch to a non-nav set up. different aircon/heat knobs, plus the cubby, the put in a double din system. I'm actually thinking of a single din Alpine Halo9 iLX-F309 and put it high enough to block the cubby partially.

question: has anyone ever done this? if so, did it work? anyone see any pitfalls in this.. I can save the old system and reinstall later if need be.

thanks

yep, mine came with oem nav, i removed it and replaced with non-nav ac controls and a tablet...there is a detailed thread here that i followed that I used to do this. I'm sure cooltoy will be here any minute now to post a link.

I think i found the thread you are referring to: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...onversion.html

but tthis seems to be for pre 2015, the amp they talk about buying doesn't appear to exist for the 2018... anyone have any updates on this idea for a newer system?
