Robones, can you post a pic with the lights matched to the amber ambient lighting in the Z at night? I wanna see how well it integrates with everything.

I see the Pioneer FH-X700BT is available on Amazon for $119.49. Looks like I could get everything needed for around $170. Decisions, decisions................

$119.00??? really, is there any decision to make?

Have you found the metra harness or steering wheel control kit on amazon? Is there anything else needed to get it working top notch in our vehicles?

I believe this is the harness that has been recommended for the steering wheel controls ($43):

Amazon.com: Metra Axxess ASWC Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface (Black): Car Electronics

New price for the FH-X700BT --- $117.82

it will be worth the wait. The unit has built in Bluetooth and built in HD radio plus it has steering wheel controls. No additional accessories required as in those other "...ready" radios. There are you tube videos that show case everything that it does and it will make you fall in love with it more.

Robones -- Did the FH-X700BT really come with steering wheel controls? Meaning that I would not need to get the Metra Axxess controller? Or were you referring to the CD-SR100 Steering Wheel Remote that clips onto the steering wheel

Actually No to my dismay...I was misinformed

so I ended up purchasing one from the shop who did my install. It was like 60 bucks or something.

So we will need the harness.

So to wrap up for everyone, the best 2 din head unit and all the stuff you need to hook it up:

Head Unit $117.82

Steering Wheel Control Harness $43.33

Double Din Faceplate $28.98

Total: $190.13 (Plus installation if you don't do it yourself)

Does that look about right guys?

your math is accurate kind sir.

I was more concerned with whether there was anything else they needed for install. Calculator got my back for the math

I think you will also need an Antenna adaptor (I believe this is the correct one -- Metra 40-NI12. Crutchfield says it is)

Antenna Adapter Works with select 2006-up Infiniti, Suzuki and Nissan vehicles (Motorola male to OEM antenna female) at Crutchfield.com

Also, a question on the Double Din Faceplate -- do you only need it if you have the Bose system? I have a 2013 Base model, and the faceplate looks already to be sized for a double din unit.
