So was the harness in the OP the wrong one?

Same here on my Base 2013, i supplied my installer
with the metra harness model 70-7552, no problems.
Headunit, door speakers/tweeters, and metra kit for steering wheel controls.

Used the same items as the earlier 370z models.

took about 2.5 hrs to complete.

As stated earlier it could be early 2013 models used the older style. However in this instance it was not the same.

I just finished an install on my 2013 as well. I got the metra harness and just removed the rear speaker pins and placed them in the spots needed for the steering wheel controls. Took me all of 10 minutes. I noticed you went with rear speakers so yeah you would of needed 2. As for the speakers, you are correct, You have to go through a solid grommet.

So for those not using rear speakers, get the metra or scosche harness and just remove the rear speaker pins from the harness and place them into slots to connect pins shown in the attached diagram. You can use a small eyeglass screwdriver to remove the pins, just insert it into the hole above the pin (when looking into the connector) this will give you a clean install with no factory wires being cut. As for ground, just run a line and create your own.

Just to be clear:

The OP stated that all the wires had changed, implying the SWC wires as well. The wiring diagram a few posts down indicates the SWC wires are still 6 and 16 just like before.

Is this correct?

I can't get my Axxess to work even though I've tapped into 6 and 16.

Yes, 15 is grounded. I have it running to the back of my radio harness then up to the body ground. It's basically a 3-way splice.

When I try to program the Axxess (holding Up arrow after reset), instead of going to a solid Red mode, it goes solid Green. At this point the radio starts going beeping constantly as though the SWC is sending a non-stop signal.

I can't get it to work and it's driving me crazy.
