2003 Infiniti G35 Android 8.0 Head Unit Install (Pumpkin)

Edit: watch my supplemental video on installing the PAC ROEMINS-2 System:
   • 2003 Infiniti G35 PAC ROEM-NIS2 Sound...  

In this video I will update the 15 year old Bose head unit in my G35 with a new Pumpkin Autocar head unit running Android 8.0. The unit has 32Gb of storage and 4Gb of memory. The install was a bit tricky when it came to the wiring but I will show you in detail which wires to connect to ensure proper functionality. In this install I re-used the stock radio bezel but modified it with a double-din sized hole to fit the new head unit. If you need to do some special wiring I've put the wire color info for the stock Bose unit at the bottom so keep scrolling.

You will also need a set of JDM heater controls like this: https://www.autopartone.com/products/...

If you have to make special wire connections because your head unit isn't the same as mine it will be easiest to run wires back to the amp and connect there as all wire connections will be available there. Here are the high side (line-level out) and low side (pre-amp) wire colors for the Bose Amp. Also see this post.... good info and pics at the bottom of the page: https://g35driver.com/forums/audio-vi...

The wire colors out from the amp are as follows:
driver door/tweeter: g + r -
passenger door/tweet: gy + y -
rear driver: g/y + b/y -
rear pass: br+ b -
driver woof: l/y + w/g -
pass woof: l/r + l/w -

Wire colors (low side) entering Bose amp:
rear left = lg + pu -
rear right = l (+) p (-)
front left = w + or -
front right = or/l + w/l -
control = sb (light blue)
backup = y/r

Legend:
b= black
blue = l
brown/tan = br
light green = lg
green = g
dark green = dg
grey = gy
orange = or
pink = p
purple = pu
red = r
white = w
yellow = y
