I have a CD Changer that I am putting in. I have all the antenna stuff figured out but I need power. I have 3 wires: One for accesory power, Constant power and a ground. There are so many wires that come into the back of the bose system I don't know what is what. Does anyone know how to hook those three wires up? Any help would be appreciated.

Plus my cd's are stuck in the changer since there isn't any power and I want them out...

did you buy a wiring harness? It should have a list on the back with all of the factory wire colors and what they are.

I didn't buy a wiring harness. I know which wire is which from the CD changer but I want to connect into the wires that go to the Stock Bose system. That has 16 or so wires plugging into the back of it and I don't know what is what. I didn't see anything on the Bose hu about the wiring. I can check again but if not, then what? I suppose I could try and follow each of the wires but that would be a pain. Any other ideas?

Where else can I find what wires are what?

just buy a voltmeter or test light and go after it. The ground can be stuck on any metal part of the body. the two power wires should be easy enough to find with a test light or voltmeter.. just look for the wires that have +12V on when the car is off, then again when ACC is turned on.

if that doesn't work, download and unzip this file... you should find what you need in there.

Sounds like the best way to figure it out. I have a voltmeter so I should be good to go.

Thanks for the info.
