Nissan’s new roadster ranged from the production year of 2003 to 2008, before it turned into the 370Z. Installation of most aftermarket stereo systems will require an install kit however.
Install kits mount to the dashboard and allows you to install your aftermarket radio. Most complete stereo kits come with an replacement dash panel, which gives you 350Z the appearance that your aftermarket stereo came from the factory.
If you are installing a car stereo or navigation system that uses a removable face or a flip up screen, it’s best to get the right mounting brackets.
Most kits provide the right stereo brackets to install a single DIN stereo. Although it’s possible, double DIN stereos aren’t very common in this setup.
The Nissan 350Z will require a flip up stereo that comes with an adjustable angle. This is because of the reclined dashboard. Most flip up faces will either run into the dash or hit the upper dash pocket.
Our guide begins with the 2003 model year for the Nissan 350Z. Take a look below for our comprehensive Nissan 350Z wiring guide.
