This morning I went to CarToys to talk to someone who has experience with the 370Z installs, and he gave me the right wiring harness for "High End Factory Systems", which does exacly what you explained. It has the 4 RCAs for the Bose Amp, and 4 wires for all the power needs. Much cleaner this way. I will say that it now sounds totally different than it did last night though. As you've probably read in my other posts about how good it sounded while running through just the wiring harness, it went back to factory sound. However, and this is a big however, once I was able to play with the loudness and EQ settings on the headunit, the bass is even more responsive than last night, tighter, and I can now raise my volume over 6 without blasting my ears out.

Thanks for the feedback on this. I'm glad I checked before putting everything back together. I'm now onto the rear camera wiring, and the install of the new pioneer XM receiver. I was able to find the factory XM antenna wire, which goes right into this Pioneer XM receiver, and then outputs to the headunit via an IP-BUS cable, which is what the X920BT was looking for but I didnt have while using the stock XM Receiver. If anyone has questions about that setup, let me know. I just spent hours researching how to reuse your factory XM antenna and am glad I did because I am able to reuse the antenna wire already run, the ACC and Battery power wires right off the stock XM receiver. Will post pics once I complete everything. I've been taking pics as I go so I have plenty, just no time to post them while I'm installing.
wow that's very interesting running XM to the x920bt with no adapters. I'd love to do this one mine as well.
