Like an interface or something, where can i get one hopefully online.

I just bought a sony deck and i am replacing the bose, but i need to wire the new sony to the old bose speaker amps, does anyone have any info on this


thanks
Jon

 

I don't they make one. I thought that you had to replace everything at the same time w/ a bose system, like the headunit and speakers. But I could be wrong

 

I think crutchfield has the cheapest one. If you call them up, you can order it without ordering any stereo equipment. It'll still run you $40 or $50 for the adapter though

 

people listen very carefully!!!!!!!!! ive done this litterally 3 times this weekend alone at my shop to a 95, 97 and a 99 max all with Bose, just upgrading the headunit.

all you need is a METRA wiring harness for a 95+ nissan $15.99 and an Antenna Adapter $10.99 from any local stereo shop or at BestBuy

hook up the "amp turn on lead" (blue/white) from the Nissan harness you just bought to the "amp turn on lead" off the Sony wiring harness. And now take both solid blue leads and tie them together, thats for the power antenna.

Grounding the system is easy too. Take the "amp ground" on the Nissan harness(black/white) extend that about 6" and tie that together with the Sony's ground wire and crimp on a ring terminal. Screw that ring terminal to the side of the radio using one of the mounting screws.

TADA YOUR DONE!!

SEE NO NEED FOR INTERFACES OR RE-WIRING.

please E-mail me if you still need help.

can you explain a little more or shoot me an email at GTRBLKMAX97@aol.com thanks a bunch, but i don't really understand what runs the audio signal to the amps on the bose

 

the speaker leads give the amps the audio signal. You still obviously have to wire up all the speaker leads to the harness. Just line up all the colors.

Before this Thread gets moved:
If you have any real doubt's call Crutchfield. They charge you a little but they give you a direct replacement that is so easy to wire even a child can do it. So the 10 extra bucks is definatly worth it. I think the harness is like 40$ or something.

You need a LOC, or line output converter. The PD-4 from audiolink seems to be the best, because its the only one that takes the line out RCA from your SONY or other HU and feeds a BOSEyfied signal to your Bose system. I'm using the the PD-4 to connect my Clarion HU to my stock BOSE setup. All the other LOCs take your speaker outputs from your HU and feed them to the Bose. The other ones cost around $50 and the PD-4 is kinda pricey at $150.

I just installed a JVC head unit into my stock bose system.

I did some research and found that some people use an interface

adapter and some don't without any problems...

I found a premium system interface adapter from Best Buy for

$40 ( $10.11 w/ employee discount )

My advice: Get an Interface Adapter - play it safe

Its easy to install & you can even adjust the output level for each

bose speaker.

Sure, you can hook up your HU without this adapter but you run the

risk of (eventually) blowing your bose amps/speakers or HU ...

I'd rather spend an extra 40 ($10 in my case) and be sure that

there is no way I can blow my bose amps/speakers or HU

Good Luck

 

Does Metra make an adapter for a 2000 Maxima?

HELLO!!!!!!!! YOU DONT NEED AN INTERFACE

DID ANY OF YOU READ WHAT I SAID??? I do this atleast once a week on Max's 93-99.

ALL YOU NEED for a 95-99 max with BOSE:

1) Nissan 95+ wiring harness $15.99
2) Nissan diversity Antenna Adapter $10.00
3) Metra Universal Pocket $15.99
THATS IT!
I belive that the 95+ Nissan Harness will work with your 5th gen

Will i need anything extra for installing the sony HU in the pocket under the bose deck? putting a tv above it

 

i have a flip out(non-motorized) 6.4" TV that fits perfectly in that opening, i had it set up where the TV was on top and and radio was right below it.
