He's asking about what car you have meaning which 350Z model? Base, Enthusiest, Track, Touring? Basic radio, or Bose with cassette and internal 6 disc changer. Bose will have a 10 in sub behind the drivers seat. Basic not. Basic has the amp in the radio. Bose has an amp for the sub beside the sub and a four channel amp beside the spare tire.

Well then you have it real easy then..

All you need is the dash kit, wiring harness, antenna adapter if remember right.

I went to Best Buy and bought my parts. But any quality stereo shop can get you everything that you need..

but i dun know how to connect them lol
is there any just plug and play? the easiest possible one.

The wiring harness, if correct, Is made to be connected to the aftermarket stereo that you select to use. Your stock radio is a double din unit. The aftermarket kits allow you to install a single din unit or double din unit. In single din you can go with a basic radio or even up to a loaded radio with dvd, navigation, bluetooth, ipod integration, and your normal am/fm/cd player. The double dins start out a little more delux and also loaded. A single din will start out lower priced. Do yourself a favor, stay with a brand name.
