Get a wire diagram for that deck and the factory wiring. Look at the two and figure out if you can make it work. Shouldn't be too horrible, I've got a Mitsubishi Lancer deck in my 88 Silverado, the factory stereo wasn't working and I traded a friend a bag of coax compression fittings for his stock deck installed. Seemed like a good trade.

Friend put it in. He just cut the factory harness off the deck and the harness in the truck. Spliced the wires together, figured out what speaker wires went to which, what wire was power and batt on the truck harness. So spliced, didn't use any of the connectors.

dont do that. you can buy the male nissan harness and a female gm harness. wire them together, then you will plug into ur gm and have the nissan radio plug.

why not just get a cd changer for your delco radio? im pretty sure the double din bezel is around $150, if its even made anymore. sell the 350 radio on ebay and use that cash for a cd changer.. or am radio

then make sure the radio has high outputs like ours. if the 350 one was made only for amp use, it might have low level outputs...

Hope that you've got the radio's unlock code. BTW Nissan radios don't ground through the radio harness anymore (not since the early 90's). If it's a factory BOSE radio from the 350z, it's not gonna be worth your time to even try to mess with it; they send out a low voltage signal through the good 'ol common ground style systems. Not something you're gonna find in your camaro, even with the Monsoon or BOSE system of GM.

My sugggestion...PUNT!!
