I can't post a pic here, pm me your email address and I'm email you a pic. As for the adapter, the adapters are vehicle make specific, if I remember correctly, you just plug in the adapter to the stock harness and connect the right colors to the wires on the HU. I did get an alternator buzz so I put a power filter on and that helped. Then I replaced the front spakers, but the rear deck is still bose. I would recommend just replacing the stock speakers too.

Now on my 5th gen I replaced the bose with an alpine double din, I found the adapter at walmart believe it or not. All of the wires are colored the same as the wiring harness in the vehicle, just like the harness adapter from the 4th gen. I connected the walmart adapter to the stock adapter and connected all of the wires and that's it. Then I put a switch on so I could play dvd's while driving. I also replaced all of the speakers and pulled the bose sub. Now I'm going to get a sub.

 

I fixed my 95 Bose using the steps on: http://madchef.5u.com/maxima/bose/fixes.html

and this worked just fine.
If you can't get yours fixed PM me and I'd be happy to work something out with you to fix yours.

 

i would replace since some aftermarket ones give u a choice of control ur subwoofer if u have one thATS wat i did

 

Replace it. Choose which features you get to have on your own HU. Be it MP3, CD-R, CD-RW, iPod hook up, XM radio, etc

If your Bose on an outdated system has died then I think it's time to fancy things up
