New harness for aftermarket install
 
If you have a bose system and want to upgrade the head unit you no longer have to use the pac unit and wire up 8 different wires to wire it in with the bose system.

Now the plug and play unit plugs right into your rca jacks of your new unit that is it!

I used one like that on my 350 with Bose. The only issue that I ran into was a hum when there was no music playing. Due to the weird Bose resistance.

I guess it'll be easier when I upgrade to the new alpine

So the bose headunit sends a line level signal to the bose amp? Or does it send a speaker level signal that i can run straight in to my amp's speaker level input

It sends a low level output to your bose amp.

It should be mentioned that this will work assuming you have a 4v headunit. If you have a 2v, the volume level will be too low.

I never heard of that making much of a differences going to an amp even a bose amp at that. I think you would be either way.

wait a minute this is nothing new. im using either this exact harness or something VERY similar in my G that has Bose. you need preamp output of minimium 4V in order to make this thing work correctly....otherwise sound is too weak through the RCA cables. my HU is a pioneer 4100DVD.

It may of been available for other cars however it has been confirmed that it does work with the 370z. BEFORE we had to use a pac low freq device to lower the output of a new head unit to the bose system such as used which I did toxik's install. This was not available at that time last year.

Sorry audio noob here. Is this the only extra thing required to upgrade the bose system with an aftermarket head unit?

kenchan 09-01-2011 11:22 AM

if you plan to use the rest of the bose system, then yes. if you plan on wiring new speaker wires then no.

make sure you buy a HU with pre-amp output of at least 4V. otherwise your signal is too soft to run the bose amps. pioneer's my choice for HU as they have 4V pre-amp outs.

b1adesofcha0s 09-01-2011 12:08 PM

Yes I'm planning to use the rest of the bose system. Thinking about picking up the Kenwood DNX-7120 that's up for sale in the classified section. Will that work fine?

PM sent and yes
