I feel like the steering wheel controls are pretty responsive, maybe a small delay on start-up but I haven't noticed anything long enough to shy myself or anyone away, at least IMO. I don't really know what kind of delays other people running Kenwood, JVC or Alpine HU's are, but I'm really satisfied with it. I will keep a closer eye on it & give you some better feedback, as I only drive it during the weekends.

Looks nice, Z34! Thanks for the pics. I still on the fence about getting this head unit. Do you have a reavview camera hooked up with your HU as well? I've been reading reviews that on some units the rear view camera app does not close correctly and they would have to close it themselves while driving.

Not really sure about the cam app, as I have the oem cam in the rear view mirror, but the HU is firmware upgradable. The 2.0.1 update included "fix of audio glitches w/some low quality USB keys" which may have address that problem?

Soooo cute! Lol

Peeved
 

I'm so peeved the Unika unit doesn't work with the '09 Z yet. I emailed them about it, and they pretty said to keep waiting... I wonder what the big difference is between the '09-'10 and '11 - Present models as far steering wheel control/headunit integration is concerned...

We have installed the Parrott Smart Double Din in a Nissan Versa recently and I have to say, not bad, I was impressed, very simple to use and easy on the eye...

LOL why you going to buy the parrot smart for 500 when pioneer has a new one coming out with mirror link for 500 as well... pioneer Appradio 3 ( SPH-DA210 ) im getting one of these by wednesday!! XD

Because...simply put... mirror link sucks...

Hey Z34, I see you have a 2012. Do you know if there were any changes to the stock stereo system in the Z? What did you originally have? Bose with Bluetooth? I'm trying to figure out if the Unika unit has just never been tested on earlier year models. Thanks!

Fitxpert, I do not know of any changes to the stereo wiring from earlier models. My nismo came with base stereo setup, no bluetooth. I don't see why it wouldn't work with earlier Z's? I would try contacting Paser tech support, as parrot doesn't actually make the unika:

Support - Paser Srl

Because having a direct android interface as apposed to needing an android phone plugged in to use is completely different and yes mirror link kind of sucks.

Check out the clarion ax1. Looks pretty nice and even has a volume knob

Thanks for getting back to me Z34 - I've just had the hardest time finding an answer! I'll try to contact Paser, I'm half itching to just pull the trigger and try it out.

Parrot Asteroid Smart and Unika in 2009 Nissan 370z
 

Alright everyone - I got the Parrot Asteroid Smart installed, and Unika working in my 2009 370Z. It was a labor of love, and a big gamble for me. It's listed as non-compatible, but the guys at Paser said they simply haven't tested it yet... I cross-referenced service manuals for the 09-12 Z and realized not much has changed in the harness over the years...so I went ahead with it and...welp...now, it's been tested, and verified to work!

It takes a few tries, and a little patience to get the Unika programmed. I also noticed that on startup there is a 6-10 second lag on first push of the "seek" button either way. After it responds the first time, each subsequent response is immediate. All other buttons work immediately.

On a positive note, I have wireless charging enabled in the center console for my phone.

I'll do a larger write-up, and post photos with that. I just haven't had the time to sit down and get it done.

Big thanks to Z34_Nismo for the help with the Unika.

:tup: on wireless charging.
