Hi, I'm new around here so please have a bit of patience with me. I'll try to describe my problem as much as my knowledge takes me. I bought a Nissan 350Z GT pack with Bose system, when I got the car the Sat nav was not working (put the key in the ignition and nothing was happening) so I did had a look around and in the glovebox compartment (behind the seats) I did found some cables from SatNav so I went online and bought a SatNav system compatible with 350Z who does fit and connects to my screen. The firmware is Xanavi also has Nissan written on it, plug it in and powers up but it asking me to select miles or kilometres and to press Ok. Now I don t have an Ok button first of all and second is that next to my SatNav I have a "receiver" who is plugging into my navigation by a jack connector. I don t know exactly what is that "receiver" doing and is strange that I do have another connector with 8 pins available in my SatNav after I did plug all connectors. Does anyone has any clues what I m on about or had seen/use the same system? Is anything missing? I ve seen on the internet roughly same navigation having something like a remote control to go with it which I don t have. Could that be the problem? Please someone help me if any infos are available anywhere. I will attach a link with the navigation I bought for more accurate informations. As well does anyone knows what is the black box on top of the unit does? (The one from the picture when you click on the link). Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: Nissan 350z convertible 05 navigation problem
The SatNav unit for our Nissans are deeply integrated with the computer system electronics. The various units talks to each other via a LAN computer network talking in a code called CANBUS. You are missing a control panel which is a combination of switches. The control panel ends up talking to a radio receiver ( the one you are missing ) and receiver in turns talks to the SatNav unit.
At least that's my understanding. I went through the same exercise trying to retrofit a nav system into my 2002 Infiniti Q45.
When my wife bought a 2006 350Z without Nav last year, I ended up buying a 7" screen DVD/Radio/Nav unit from EONON for $245. I selected their unit because they are a licensed user of Sygic Nav software (not a boot legged copy). They also had an interface that coupled to the steering wheel controls for the radio. Scosche sells a Nissan Radio Connector and a compatible radio bezel to complete the installation.
As a bonus, I bought a cheap rear view TV camera that interfaced as well. The EONON unit comes with a generic wire harness that I matched to the Scosche Nissan radio connector. The only hack of the factory wiring needed was for the steering wheel controls where I cut and spliced in bullet connectors so I could return everything to stock should I decide to keep the EONON unit when I sell the car.

My convertible top goes up and down but will not lock, also I noticed that when I put the top up there is a gap in the rag top of 2 inches, my passenger windowstopped working at the same time
