The Bose system does not use a traditional harness if you're changing out the head unit, as the speakers are dependent on external amplifiers. It does use an adapter to tap into the speakers if you plan on keeping them OEM.

I didn't mention the antenna adapter, as it's not considered part of the non-existent harness- it's an adapter, much like a PAC or AWSC.

Sorry if I wasn't being clear.

I knew I was forgetting some stuff. Thanks guys. Antenna, wiring harness, iPod/3.5/USB Jack. I have a base model stereo.

do you have like basic e-tape, taps, crimps, solder, etc?

kenchan · 04-25-2013, 05:02 PM

kind of bringing this one back but i have an issue and wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issue of glare? I have 30% on all windows but when the sun hits this stereo its IMPOSSIBLE to see the screen even with a slight light. someone on here said to up the brightness and contrast but that doesnt do anything. Anyone else run into this issue? any fixes? im almost tempted to replace it for something different cause of this glaring issue.

kenchan · 05-29-2013, 02:15 PM

hasn't bothered me.

but then, i dont stare at it or watch dvd's on it so dont know.

i know my other car the 2500BT is up higher on the dash so i do get glare at times.

huh, that's very odd. you might have a defective backlight maybe? can you tilt it by one increment and see if that helps?

Cbtech · 05-29-2013, 04:53 PM

I have it tilted x2 right now for better visibility. I might try to tilt it back to see if the glare goes away.

kenchan · 05-29-2013, 05:33 PM

yah, and try full brightness i guess since you're already thinking about selling it. who cares about longitivity now.

on my car i have my 4500BT at zero tilt, and i can see just fine.

Cbtech · 05-29-2013, 07:53 PM

well I really hate to sell this thing as it was a PTA to install and i dont want to have to take everything apart again...again...again...again

kenchan · 05-29-2013, 09:53 PM

it's not THAT big of a deal to install the HU, no?

Cbtech · 05-30-2013, 01:08 AM

Here is the glare from the direction that I'm sitting at.

What is this?

Where did you guys run your wires through the firewall to power your amp? Edit: nvm I found where to run the wires.
