Made some more progress today and I think I have all of the soldering for the harness complete. I moved the 3 pins fairly easily by pulling out the 5 that weren't being used at all (4 rear speakers and 1 extra Orange/Black) - I moved the Orange/Black to pin 6 (Steering Wheel A), the Purple to pin 16 (Steering Wheel B), and the Purple Black to pin 15 (Steering Wheel ground).
For Axxess, I attached the Gray/Red wire to the pin 6 wire and the Gray/Blue to the pin 16 wire. Then, I took the wire from pin 15 and the Black wire from the Axxess and created a single Ground Wire that I will attach to the chassis somewhere. I had to patch the Red wire from the Axxess into the Red wire from the harness. Lastly, I connected just the Brown wire from the Axxess to the Lt. Blue/Yellow wire from the DNX harness.
With the 70-7552 harness, I also had gotten a Nissan antenna wire to use (will post up pics of that later) - I had to join the Blue wire from the DNX harness and the Blue wire from the radio harness and the Blue wire from this connector. Looks like the Motorola plug and the grey plug on this will be used when putting the new HU in place so that it still gets an antenna signal.
And finally, I connected a nice long wire to the Blue/White wire from the DNX harness which was labelled P.Cont for Power Control. This will be used to trigger the external amp that will drive the subwoofer.
Spent alot of time on this so really hope I've got it all correct - in the end the only wire on the DNX harness that wasn't used was the Brown (Mute) wire.
Guess the fun will begin on Sunday when I start tearing things out of the car and putting stuff in place.
Did you guys test it all somehow before you put everything back together? Any recommendations on that would be greatly appreciated because I'd really rather not have to tear the car apart more than once.
