You don't mention wether this is a stock radio or not. I don't know what kind of stereo Nissan puts in the 300Z. The Z that I had came with a funky little control unit of some kind under the pass. seat. I don't know what it was or what it did but it was part of the radio. I don't think the radio would work without it. The only other thing would be to check all voltages to aux. and backups going into radio. I assumed it worked in the Z. Maybe put it back in the Z and see if it still works. That would at least narrow it down to the vehicle. My son had a brand new stereo that did the same thing and it still doesn't work but it was a cheapo. Good luck.
