3G installed in my Nissan...

Just thought I'd share it with you

Kind of sucks though because the Pioneer IB-1001 doesn't charge the damn thing and I've heard the charging adaptor (passport iirc) doesn't work with the Pioneer system, the sad thing is I don't want to get another Stereo for the car as I love the way that Pioneer looks, it matches the dash board lights at night, unlike some of the Alpine stuff that glows bright blue and looks whack.

I'm quite handy with electronics, I just wish there was some way of cracking the interface (analog too) open and doing something to it so it'd charge the iPhone.

I think the only option I've got is a new stereo

Nice job. What is the make of the actual holder of your iPhone?

Cool. Here's mine in my Nissan. I got a new Sony head unit a few months ago because I wanted to be able to control the music from it as well as have it charge while it's plugged in through the USB port.

Cheers man!

Can't rate it highly enough, build quality and ease of use of the mount is epic, I paid just shy of £20ukp for it and am really pleased! The cable from the stereo holds the vent solid as well so it doesn't move about, another benefit - my car's got incredibly hard suspension and british roads are absolutely awful for pot holes!

Looks good in yours dude, love the NOS on the hazard button

! Is that a Sentra? [/Nissan Geek]

Europa, did you have a factory Bose system in your nissan before replacing the head unit?

Europa · 07-11-2009, 12:08 AM

The Sentra came with a seven speaker system, but it wasn't Bose. I bought the car new but I immediately replaced the rear stock speakers and the head unit. I blew the stock subwoofer within a year and replaced it with a real one.

Stock Bose systems on the Infiniti G20/Nissan Primera (same car, different badge) are quite poor IMO - it's a passive subwoofer too, and is unpowered. First thing I did was rip all mine out, disconnect the rear speakers, stick a 12" MTX sub in the trunk, couple of amped component Alpine speakers in the front = perfect sound stage and quality!

not only passive sub its free air it sucks. I drive a 350z and that was the first thing i did. 3 way active front stage with a sub ran actively

I know i went a little overboard for a 2 seater haha.

no iphone holder though

Damn that's an install!

As soon as I graduate and get a decent job I'm buying a late Z33 350Z. Or live at home with mother und father and buy a 370!

My SR20 is cool but I need me some VQ in my life!
