DIY: Bose Touring Stereo (NON NAV) iPod Interface Upgrade: iSimple Media Gateway

diddy535

Hey guys, be careful if you buy the product from distributor on Amazon. I ordered the one listed here and was supposed to have the PGHNI2 wiring harness.... mine came with a PGHNI1 wiring harness soo needless to say I contacted the seller and hopefully they will straighten it out. Didn't figure it out until I took apart everything and was trying to connect the new components. So just check the part number taped to the harness before you go through all the trouble

I got the parts and installed it all, but it's only partially functional. I have a 2013 touring w/o NAV.

- I press FM/Radio, then Sat and quickly SEEK up and I only see Aux1
- My iPod sound comes through just fine, but the display shows XM instead of Ipod.
- I can skip back and forth through songs using TUNE up/down, but no other controls work
- I can still control my ipod via the ipod click wheel
- Steering wheel control just changes through XM presets 1-6

But nothing else appears to work as it sounds like it should. I've switched from AUX1 to AUX2, and basically all the above happens again, only with Aux2.

You mentioned you ordered the wrong adapter.

The one you have listed now is correct? HD Radio antenna adaptor: BAA3637

Great DIY!!!

WOW! I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS!!!

Did you ever use USB connection? I do not have IPOD so I was wondering see if I could use USB connection with my Galaxy S phone.

Anything on USB? I am going to install this on Sunday. It will be great if I can use a USB drive.

Awesome! Glad to know this is a possibility versus buying a new one

Glad to see this guide is still helping people out. It's been awhile since I've been on here, but I'm back now.

My iSimple is still going strong. I guess I should update the guide to include the HD Radio adapter.

Hey Spartan.
I don't DIY so I had it put in at Best Buy. It works well. I noticed one slight issue. In order to choose an artist, I have to scroll through one by one. How did you handle this? Did you go back to I-tunes and use more stringent use of the genres? It's fine with Aerosmith or Acoustic Alchemy, Yes is a different story.

Anyway, thanks for the information on how to control the Ipod through the stereo.

Wasn't sure if anyone was interested in the HD Radio upgrade. Ok, I'll work on it.

I'm curious if anyone knows if the Ipod Harness ([284H2] HARN-iPod SYSYTEM) will connect to the Factory Bose System. I've asked 4 people from Nissan and no one seems to know the answer.

They keep telling me, "it should work..." It's a special order so they won't let you return it if it doesn't.

Description:
Fits this vehicle: 370Z (Z34)
2009+

I wish it was that easy to add an iPod to the Bose system.... i believe that cable will only connect up to the Nissan navigation units.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I'm amazed how many folks at the Nissan dealership couldn't give me an answer.

Appreciate it!

To my knowledge, this will not work.
