Sorry for a thread bump, I have 2008 BOSE no nav and I ONLY want a USB port, what would I need? I have access to 2011 cheap parts, but headunit control panel seems to be identical and heater control panel seems to be the same...
Ive already grabbed 2011 USB port and usb to headunit cable, 2011 headunit without NAV + All connectors (pigtails), would i be able to use my stock 2008 screen with newer 2011 headunit?
Also, if i got headunit pigtails where would i find how to REPIN 2008 vehicle to 2011 pigtails hopefully without cutting and soldering everything, i can pull stock pins out and install them into proper 2011 connectors but i need CONVERSION diagram...

First, there is no "Conversion Diagram." You would have to do what everyone else has done, myself included, and download the AV (Audio Visual) section of the factory manual from NICOclub for both your 2008 and the 2011 donor cars. From there you will map out what needs to be changed. Being you are doing a linear swap not much should be changed, but there will be some changes.

You may want to contact forum member @OWC to see whether they have a conversion harness for non-NAV swaps available for sale. Offhand, I do not know, but this option would take a lot of the homework out of the equation.

That said, you will also need the 2011 display AND the GVIF cable that goes from the display to the headunit. Your 2008 display is useless for 2010+ systems.

You can keep your multifunction switch block (the dial one) and the preset switch panel (the clock one) as you are not adding NAV.

Hope this helps...

How are you. I’m new here.

i own a 2006 g35 sedan and a 2008 EX35


can you tell me what barts I need to upgrade the EX35 to nav.

its currently a base but has Bose audio, no backup cam.

will you be able to provide all the stuff I’ll need to convert it to NAV with backup cam or even the all around cam setup.
Basically convert it from base to journey trim.

im sure i can source the parts but just need the part numbers so I know what im looking for and any adapters I’ll need for correct hookup if you already have them premade.

thank you so much,
roman

ps I haven’t removed the radio yet but did look some stuff up and it looks like I need the buttons under screen, main unit behind climate buttons and maybe buttons too, cam module under seat and rear cam. For all around I need more cams and maybe mirrors too and the module for it.

id gladly get parts you list and any harnesses you have for this project.

on top of that, any way to upgrade my 2006 g35 sedan nav (pop up screen) to accept a newer nav dvd (mine maxed at 2015)?
my g35 didn’t come with nav. I converted the car for it among other things.
