head unit confusion

I am trying to get my Kenwood cd player installed but no one seems to know much about installing with a Bose system. Those of you who have had aftermarket head units installed, did you use the interface kit or a regular wiring harness? I asked a couple of local places. One guy said I would have to rewire the whole system and the other wasn't sure about the interface or not.

Thanks for the help

you can use the interface or rewire the whole car.

Re: head unit confusion

I added a Kenwood Excelon KDC-x859 to my I30t. I didn't use an interface. I purchase Metra harnesses and plugged everything up. It worked great.

The part numbers were:
80-7550 for Nissan 1995 and up
KN16-80 for Kenwood 16 Pin

I bought them at Circuit City for like $30.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Andrew
