Need help with Bose wiring

I bought a 1995 Bose headunit to put in my '93, but I haven't been able to find any wiring charts which show all 16 pins. They all seem geared to installing aftermarket units in cars with Bose, so they don't include some of the unneeded pins. I've checked Matt93SE's FAQ, and sent email to installdr.com, but no response yet. If anyone has or knows of complete pin diagrams for 1993 and 1995, please let me know.

Thanks!

Dave

I hope you do realise that the bose head unit is not amplified, another words you need amps to run your speakers. If you have bose in your 93 already you should be all right.

My '93 is a Bose, thanks for the warning, though!

No, I have the FSM, but it's still a bit unclear. If you could post a copy of the diagram or just a listing of the pins, that would be great! Thanks a million, I really appreciate the help.

Thanks very much. I couldn't find any junkyard in my area with with a 4th gen, so I had to order a connector from Scosche. I'm not sure if their color layout is the same, though. Hopefully, it'll be well marked!
