Where can I get the pac-oem?

There are no links on the board to a place where you can order the pac-oem unit thats supposed to allow us to run aftermarket subs on the bose system. Do you guys know where I can buy that unit for a 2002 I35?
Thanks

okay so how do you suggest hooking up a sub to the Bose HU?
High-low converter is usually considered crap

I'm using the PAC SWI-X adapter to make my steering wheel audio controls, but I am not using the PAC OEM amp adapter. I'm using the Scosche OEM amp adapter, and it seems to work well. I ordered both my PAC SWI-X and my Scosche OEM amp adapter from www.crutchfield.com.

It's not hard at all. You pull out the dash vents and then unscrew a few screws to remove the ash/coin tray and the radio and climate controls. The only hard part is taking out the trim piece around the shifter. It's not heard to figure out. You just need to be careful as you're prying it up. Apply even pressure and don't use a sharp tool like a screwdriver. If you don't have a tool for removing trim pieces, you can use a flat wide screwdriver as long as you cover it in cloth. Then you take the wires that used to go into the stock radio and you plug them into the amp adapter. The amp adapter has a bunch of colored wires coming out of it that you splice on to the color coded wires coming out of the new head unit. The colors all match up, so it should be easy.

You use a small screwdriver to adjust the output levels on each channel of the amp adapter until you hear distortion, then you back off a quarter turn. Easy.

its as easy as taking the HU out, from there the plugs can only fit in certain ports so you cant mess it up
