Yup, I had the Kenwood installed in my Z today. Woke up early in the morning and drove to Bridgeton , NJ. My installer is a young individual who does this on the side when he is not studying for tests. He is a car and audio-video enthusiast. I always encourage young individual with passion for what they like, so I handed my keys over to him this morning. He was thrilled and honored to be able to work on a 370Z. ![]() ![]() Kenwood DNX6140 Where I bought it from: Kenwood DNX6140 DSC01882.jpg Scosche NN04B 2007 - Up Nissan Radio Wiring Harness Where I bought it from: Scosche NN04B 2007 - Up Nissan Radio Wiring Harness DSC01874.jpg Scosche NAA2B 2007 - Up Nissan Versa Antenna Adapter Where I bought it from: Scosche NAA2B 2007 - Up Nissan Versa Antenna Adapter DSC01874.jpg Car Rear Backup Camera with 5M Cable Where I bought it from: Car Rear Backup Camera with 5M Cable DSC01864.jpgDSC01869.jpg SIRIUS Kenwood Package Where I bought it from:SIRIUS Kenwood Package DSC01873.jpg DSC01878.jpg ![]() ATTN: Please note you'll need a set of TORX head screwdriver to detach HU from the bracket. Nissan decided to use Torx screws to hold the OEM headunit in the bracket. First, I want to thank everyone for their input in this thread . I would like to specially thank bpd138 for all his help via pm and his picture gallery. It helped me get an idea what to expect. Also, he suggested the rearview camera which I am very satisfied with. I bought everything from ebay except Sirius radio. It was cheaper at Crutchfield. My ultimate goal was to keep everything under a grand and I am very glad to say -- I did! I was surprised to find a DNX6140 for only 705 shipped! ![]() ![]() It says in the auction that this cam has OmniPixel Technology which helps in low light areas or at night. I did a test (see video below) and looks pretty bright at night. For $37, you can't beat it. It comes from Asia so at least give it two weeks to arrive even though my shipment came within 5 days of shipment! Install was pretty much straight forward. If you installed a after market HU in a 350Z, this is very similar. I didn't bother any DIY since one already exists. But I did take some pictures that I don't mind sharing. ![]() ![]() Install started fairly easy. No surprises. ![]() This is the AIRBAG sensor. You must disconnect this in order to take the panel off. Now, once you're done installing and you want to test your headunit, YOU MUST connect this first. If you forget, you have to reset your airbags. Here's how to reset your airbags: Flashing Airbag Light After HU Install ![]() ![]() ![]() Feeding the rear backup cam wire through the center console. There are two screws at the base behind driver and passenger seat. Unscrew them and you can lift the center console. ![]() ![]() It's a mess ![]() ![]() Matt, who did the install, was very organized and committed to his work. EVERY SINGLE connection was soldered and heat shrinked! YouTube - MOV01968 ![]() ![]() When it was time to put the GPS and SIRIUS antennas, I opted the front dash. I know some member put it behind the steering wheel but I wasn't too comfortable putting it there. I didn't want ANY obstruction. Both GPS and SIRIUS working perfectly at the moment. GPS is VERY quick at calculating(recalculating). I have yet to hear ANY static on the SIRIUS. ![]() ![]() Feeding the backup cam wire through a hole. ![]() I like this microphone placement here. I called my mom and she said that she couldn't even tell I was using the car handsfree. Putting it by the instrument panels creates too much distance between driver and mic. That's why I didn't put it there. ![]() ![]() Display for SIRIUS is fully customizable. You can display song name, artist, channel name, genre etc ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Text feature?? I know NISMOZ was talking about something similar. I haven't tested this.... maybe tomorrow. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think the camera placement looks great! It almost looks like the JDM camera option ![]() That's the look I was going for. I know Socal370Z was doing a lot of research on this JDM cam. I don't think JDM one provides the Trapeziform sign/lines which my cam does! I was playing with the unit and found out that I can change the HU color to match the vehicle interior accent. You can see this demonstration in Video Part II. Here are some of the after pics ![]() ![]() Video Part I YouTube - Kenwood DNX6140 installed in 370Z Sirius Backup cam (please click on HQ to view in Hi Res) Video Part II YouTube - Kenwood DNX6140 installed in 370Z Sirius Backup cam Part II (please click on HQ to view in Hi Res) Here's a video showing some of the features. Garmin Nav was a breeze to use (you can actually see how quickly I was putting info in ![]() Thanks for reading my thread and if you have ANY question, feel free to ask or pm me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: update 09.24.09 Quote:
