OK, just bought a 2004 M45

I did some research on here (and elsewhere) and they said that ALL 2004 M45 Infiniti have SAT preinstalled.
So, I find the right unit (I believe) and now want to install it [Clarion XM Satellite Radio Tuner Kit 28050-EH000 EN-1187B]
My question is...where the heck does it plug in ?

I have my entire truck taken apart and can't find the harness connection
I do see two harness connections on the left side of the trunk well but they are the wrong size and attaches to a different module (I wonder what).

Also, anyone have a LOT of wind noise from a non-factory front windshield?
Also, getting ready to install Viper SmartStart. Anyone want me to document with photos for the forum?
    BTW, this is my 17th Nissan product. I guess you can say that I'm a fan:

    Wow! :cool: Quite the list of cars.

    I would recommend checking the Service Manual on your model year to see if it has the info (link to these is in my sig) on the harness and location.

    Welcome to NICO!

    Mine has this module installed and the connection is under the rear seat. I have to do my trunk struts in the next few months and will grab a pic if needed.

    Nope, it wasn't under the seat. I know because I took it all out to look.

    1) two screws behind armrest
    2) two slide clips and the lower seat comes right out.
    3) two more screws and the back rest comes right out.
    4) Nope, no wires here.

    So, I put it all back in and looked in the trunk once again.

    1) finally found this weird hunk of wires in the left fender well
    2) unwrapped and saw a connector dongle attached to two males
    3) connected directly into the receiver
    4) attached Velcro and attached to inner fender (stupid, should have put on metal brace just to the right)
    5) used the antenna's supplied template to place on roof.
    6) easily pushed back the rubber seal lip to hide wire and fish around to the trunk.

    Interesting...Mine is under the rear seat but is wired in the seal like yours instructs. Be sure to get the wire in there good as mine tends to sneak out occasionally.
