Convrting VW phatbox to Infiniti
« on: June 21, 2006, 02:49:36 am »
Is there a way to convert a VW phatbox to work in an Infiniti? Phatnoise no longer makes one for Nissan/Infiniti and I can't find one anywhere for my G35.

I think the internal HW is the same for the Infinity and the VW phatbox. Do you have a picture of the connector in the infinity that would connect to the phatbox ? You might have to get a cable from Infinity.

I managed to convert a VW phatbox to work in my Mazda3, I am sure it would work in your car as well.

You need:
- Proper cable to connect VW phatbox to Infinity Stereo
- Phatbox Infinity firmware (Available from http://downloads.phathack.com/firmware/)

I don't have a picture of the Infiniti connection but I can get one. You were able to get the cable from Mazda? Did it need to be modified to connect to the phatbox or did it plug right in?

I got the cable directly from Mazda, It plugs directly into the OEM stereo and then directly into the VW phatbox.

Post an image of the connector in you Infinity, I will be able to tell you if it is the same as the connector on the VW phatbox.

Did anyone get this to work. I'm also interested in getting phat noise for my G35 2004 coupe. Thanx for the help
