AVH-X5500BHS in touring model

puckshaw · 05-27-2013, 08:31 PM

Hey guys,

I'm looking at putting the AVH-X5500BHS in my touring model 370. I'm mostly interested in the app mode features so that I can run Dashcommand to display OBDII info. This seems easier than a custom tablet install. I would just get the AppRadio 3 but I read that you need 4v preouts to work with the Bose amp. I'm also picking up:

- Pioneer CDIV202AV AppRadio Mode VGA Interface Cable Kit for iPhone 5
- Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter
- Parking Brake Override Bypass Fully Automatic Video in Motion for Pioneer Models AVH-X1500DVD AVH-X2500BT AVH-X3500BHS AVH-X4500BT AVH-X5500BHS
- Metra 70-7552 Radio Wiring Harness for Nissan 07-Up
- Metra Axxess ASWC Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface (Black)
- Metra 40-NI12 Nissan 07-Up Antenna Adapter
- Metra 99-7607B Dash Kit for 2009 Nissan 370Z (Matte Black)

Is that everything I would need to make this work with the Bose system? I was thinking I might do a backup camera while I'm at it. Any suggestions on one?

TIA

I have the same radio in my 40th (has touring bose package).

Use this harness instead:
Amazon.com: Metra 70-7553 Integration Harness for Select Nissan Vehicles with Premium Sound System: Electronics

it works directly off your 4v preamp outputs so you dont need a line adapter.

I used the $20 ebay backup cam and it works great!

You also might want to consider the Scosche dash kit instead of the metra as it fits without the need for a trim ring.

Thanks! Repped. How does the Scosche work with the A/C controls? It looks like the stock surround is all one piece.

I'm honestly not worried about sound quality in this car. Most of the time I don't even have the stereo on.

I don't have the touring package, and I didn't do the 5500 (I did an SPH-DA100 Appradio 2), but I'm enjoying the app mode. When the next jailbreak comes for the iPhone (or if I go Android), it will get even better.

Nice! What can you do with a jailbreak that you can't with the standard functionality? I've got a jailbroken iPhone 5.

Have a look at the video here:
http://www.appradioworld.com/2012/11...-appradio.html

Also, have a look at the AVIC411 forum. As my iPhone is not currently jailbroken, I'm not as up to speed as I otherwise would be.

Post up when you get everything in order.

Awesome! I was hoping someone had done some stuff like this.

Yep. Cool. I would have done it, but I was busy that day : O

puckshaw · 05-28-2013, 09:16 PM

Ordered everything

puckshaw · 06-13-2013, 11:39 AM

Got everything installed yesterday but the installer couldn't get the ASWC-1 to work. It wouldn't auto program or let him manually program. Tried 2 different units with the same result. He called their tech support and tried a couple changes to wiring but no luck. Looks like we're going to order a PAC instead.

I also ran into issues with the iPhone 5 connector. I bought a lightning extension cable but it's not recognized. Would have been a nice clean install if that had worked. Instead we're going to have to hook directly to that bulky Apple VGA adapter.

I saw that one but it looks like it wouldn't fit with a case.
