Parts for new install

evensen007 · 04-28-2016, 07:29 AM

Audio-gurus,

My setup:
2010 40th Anni. Bose w/o Nav.

I am about to order this Android double-din:

To connect to my factory Bose, i am going to order:

Does this cover me for connecting the Head unit? Do I also need another wiring harness on top of that Bose harness?

Thanks!

Chris

Don't forget to get wiring harness and antenna adapter.

From what I'm reading, the Bose harness I listed will cover the harness requirements. Is that incorrect?

Whoops my bad I may be mistaken, haven't done Z yet but I don't have bose, I did do my rsx with bose a few years ago needed wire harness and I think it was an axyss to connect the Bose maybe the tech has gotten better since then

Yes but you need the antenna adapter and steering wheel control module as well. Metra aswc-1

Thank you! Would this antenna adapter work?

Audio friends... So I had it installed and all went somewhat well. The problem is that I have this high pitched whine from the speakers (even with the volume off) and also the volume is way too low! Even at max volume, the new setup is about = to 50% of the volume I used to have with the stock Bose HU!? I also think the audio quality is somewhat worse. Installer said the metra Bose harness worked, but what could be wrong?

evensen007 · 05-11-2016, 07:45 PM

Anyone?

Well, with the help of the Car Audio/Video sub-reddit I was able to get this working properly (and awesomely). For anyone wanting to hook up an aftermarket Android HU to your factory Bose, here are some things to consider:

1. Your aftermarket headunit isn't feeding enough voltage to the input side of the oem bose amplifier. This is the case 9 times out of 10 for nissans with premium bose.

2. The problem with just using JUST the regular Nissan harness it will over drive your factory amp inputs. Half volume will be full volume. I would suggest using the Nissan Bose amp Integration harness and using 2 LOC off the speaker level outputs on the radio. Also make sure you grounded the amp and deck. That car uses chassis ground not a wire in the metra harness. You will need to run a lead and physically ground the radio and amp.

After adding the 2 LOC, the amp is pumping full sound and volume, and there is no more whine because it is properly chassis-grounded.

Sounds like you don't have the bose system and the harness you bough is if you have the bose system with the factory amp. You need the other one. That's also probably why you're getting wine.

It's fixed now, per my last post. I do have the Bose system.

Good to hear, what was the issue? Amp turn on wire (blue)?
