go thru Crutchfield or www.installdr.com for some additional information on that...the latter will be the better of the two I think

I could be wrong, but here's something to try. Pull the door panel and see what color wires run into the bose amp. Match them to the wires in the harness coming off the Bose HU. I mean they do have to run from the HU to the amp in the door, so they should be the same color straight through. Keep in mind, I have not tried this myself.........yet!

That will be a waste of your time. The colors change like 5 times between the door and the HU. Each wire harness it goes through, it changes color. It's really a mess. Best bet is the service manual.
