Anyone installed a RioCar in one of these yet?

It doesn't look like it. Isn't that a new model this year?

Keep in mind that installing a RioCar/empeg is very little different than installing any other DIN-sized head unit plus amplifier, so if you can fond someone who's installed anything, then their experiences should apply.

I wouldn't be surprised, though, if the Infiniti has a Japanese-style DIN slot (if it has one at all) that might make installation more difficult than if it had a real-size DIN slot.

Yeah, it's a brand new model and there don't appear to be any DIN slots. I'm guessing this is not going to be easy.

Sucks, I've had my RioCar for like 2 years and never installed it in anything.

Is it this?



That looks nigh impossible. I'd say you should find a reputable professional installer and have him look at it.

Yep, that's it. I'm hoping maybe something can be customized where the analog clock is. (Who needs an analog clock..taking up all that real estate?)

Thanks for your help.

In the way back, I worked parts for Infiniti...what can I say, I'd had it with IT work...

You would GAG if you knew how much that little analog clock costs.

If you're in the Arizona area, PM me and I may be able to hook you up with someone who may be able to help.

Thanks for the offer..I'm in Columbus, Ohio though.

I did find someone else who has done something similar (not with the RioCar but another head unit):

Hopefully I can find someone local willing to take this on.
