2006 G35 Install - First one

I think that I will adjust the position of the Pandora since it is pushed back a little from the opening. I want to reduce the amount of space by as much as possible since the pre-cut version of the din-cover is slightly wider than the Pandora.

hi. I'm just about to install my Car PC and I do not understand about the ground wire of Carnetix P1900. Where should I install these ground wires ?? I want to know exactly the place so that I can wire it and can you tell me about the ignition wire... where it is??
My car is 2005 G35 coupe.. Thanks

The ground wire is just connected to the car. Just like you would ground any wire in a car.

The ignition, well, I'll leave that up to the OP...since I'm not familiar with that car and where it's easiest to pick up an iginition source.

All you really need is a switched power source. I simply tapped into the cigarette lighter line for that. For the ground wire, I connected it to the fender wall inside the engine compartment.

really should ground to the factory ground if at all possible if you're already in the engine compartment...fewer ground points is better.

It's been a while since I've actually looked under the hood, but I think I actually used one of the existing ground points. I don't remember off hand though...

Very nice! The computer I built is for the 2008 G Coupe. From the sedan, I notice the glovebox is much bigger and more roomy. I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to fit my system, but it'll involve lots of cutting Hahah.

I just hope it doesn't come with that integrated computer stuff like the '07 Sedan... I don't know how people are going to be able to install an aftermarket system.

Thanks a lot. You guys help me a lot.....

Thanks!!! I worked hard on getting it put together properly. I'll take some new pics. I DO think that I am having some power problems on the external drive though. Every once in a while something happens causing either a drop in power or something where the power supplied to the external drive causes the drive to disconnect. This is causing a "Delayed Write Failure" so to fix it I have to unplug the drive, and plug it back in after a few seconds. Kind of a pain...
