Hey are you still selling the Metra wiring harnesses?

I know you get this all the time and I have searched and searched and read and read over and over about adding a LOC.
I got a LCQ-1 I just can't seem to get a for sure answer about exactly what color and pin# spots off the factory input signal wires to cut and run to my LOC. Im running new speaker wire to my components and rear speakers. Just not sure what speaker input wires are full range in the front to use.
I'd be greatfal if you could give me a few tips here. Thank you for your time.
I have 09 Touring with Bose and Navigation

Hey, I need to know your opinion on something. I would not necessarily consider myself an audiophile, but I enjoy listening to crisp clean music. I don't have a Z yet, but I am looking into get one. I am on a budget however. Living in Colorado all Z's seem to come at a premium. I currently have a sound system. I mean Headunit, speakers, subs, amps, and everything to install it, but the best deal I can find is on a touring Z with Nav. I know its asked a lot, but is there any way to put an entire non touring set up in the dash? if so would it entail completely new harnesses. I'm just trying to figure out if it would be worth the effort, or if I would be better off just buying a non nav z. I know it is possible to replace. It just seems like a lot of work to adjust signals and everything and rewire everything to get it to. Any feedback would be appreciated.

hey can you help me with the wiring of an aftermarket deck on the bose system with the metra 70-7553 harness do I have to tap into some other wires in the car ?

Hello im new to the forum. My z is in the garage for winter but im getting my audio together. Im in no.Virginia .just wondering what you would charge for full system install including sound damping. Ive pretty much got everything except a sub enclsure and sub amp.

Hey Big, I dropped a message the other day regarding my Bose amp and sub. I just wanted to follow up and see if you had a potential solution for me.

Thanks!

hey big, i have an extra metra harness and was going to pull it apart to get the wires and pins to just add them to the harness i am using to make it plug and play. i have the bose non navi and am using the harness to retain stock bose system. could you confirm which hole i add these to please.

No worries. Thanks for responding.

Kk, I'll just read your thread then. Thanks for getting back with me anyway.

morning! Got a tech question for ya:

Is the touring radio/head unit compatible with the non-touring Zs?

Heavy in the SPL world, amps are big power, but nothing super special these days. Korean made, I think, they do lots of power, but nothing particularly earth-shattering as far as quality. I mean,...

It's just an add-on. It clips into an empty square hole.

Did this install to my z today. This is perfect instruction video ! Thanks!

I know I'm very late in this discussion but I'm putting in a new Pioneer head unit in my car and bought the ASWC-1 from Crutchfield. After reading all of the documentation I found this note on...

Don't necessarily have to cut the OEM wiring to add a steering wheel remote adapter.. I just pinned my radio harness adapter for those connections. Since the Z has no rear speakers, I just moved...

If you find someone willing to split the exhaust up.. I’m down to buy just the rear muffler section.

According to Crutchfield advisor JL Audio C1-690 (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13699046/JL-Audio-C1-690.html?search=c1-690&skipvs=T) components fit (he mentioned that the measurements are close...

Nice performance list! But where's the safety stuff? Harness bar, harness, etc. Just my opinion but here are a couple suggestions. Unless your taking things apart already I don't think the engine...

You can do 6x9s on the kick panel if you have auto. It'll sound better than on the door. The question is why 6x9s? You'll need to equalize because they are harsh. .Better to use components vs...

What are you trying to accomplish? If you want a stereo that will rattle the windows, the Bose is not what you want - rip everything out and start from scratch. bigaudiofan is a great resource and...

At night some cameras tend to look like they lost color. Not sure how yours specifically looks, and if you possibly got something defective, but Mazda is like the worst I've seen. I know the Z's...

Its connected to a harness, not a USB type connector. You could get creative and cut/splice the wires into a USB plug for your new headunit. You'll need to look at the FSMs to see which wires you'll...

I think the biggest thing here Matt is this lady's an idiot and almost caused a serious accident. You may have to take the loss, going to court for $300 in damages may not be worth your time and...

Your insurance wants a claim because that's more money for them. I'd consult with an attorney (not a sleazebag billboard guy) and ask what they think. That's pretty cut and dry her fault in my...
