Hahha.. love the pics.. looks like the car barfed up spaghetti!! Good shit! Question though looks like you took apart the gauage cluster as well.. why did you have to do that? To get the navi voice command buttons installed but don't you have that even without the navi to control radio and climate control?

When I did an aftermarket navi install on my old CL-S, I had to take the gauges out, because that's where the navi speed sensor goes, but i'm not sure if the factory one has an easier way to hookup to that.

Yea, I emailed him. I know that's technically a deal because all the harness add up to something like $1200 new. But when I got the entire nav conversion for less then that, it's hard to do...

I still can't make up my mind what I want to do lol

it was an all day thing where we chilled, ate, had the parts. why spend an extra $500 when it was all sitting in front of us. im an electrician so wires, and reading schematics come to me like nothing. Our boy Raul is a nissan tech so between abp, myself, and raul- we knocked this right out the park!

in the other hand, if the oem wiring harness was not available, $500 is the way to go.
