Help with InCarTec harness (Bose 2004 350z)

[evoon]

Hi, so I recently acquired a 2004 350z with the Bose sound system and factory Headunit

I bought a 2din kenwood, an InCarTec harness with a kenwood specific patch lead

So now i am struggling to plug everything in the right spot

On the picture, i am holding a yellow and blue cable from the Kenwood where it was written "steering wheel remote input" 

but there is also a blue and white cable from the InCarTec wires where it is written "Amplifier remote turn on"

and another Brown patch lead on the right connected to the swc interface 

I really have no clue where these 3 cables go...

Amplifier remote turn on needs to be connected so that the bose amp comes on.

 

Is there a power aerial output or something like that on the head unit that you can use?

 

Is there nothing on the adaptor loom that say remote/steering wheel controls?

 

I did a swap a few years back and ended up cutting and connecting some wires as the adaptor loom wasn't great, I don't have that car anymore so can't go look, sorry.

I figured out that the brown and the blue/yellow need to be linked together 

For the "amp remote turn on" what do you mean by "power aerial output"? Should i connect the blue/white wire to the Iso connector ?

Makes sense.

 

Some stereos have an output to extend electric aerials when you turn the stereo on, these can usually be used to turn the amp on in many cases but I'd check.

 

There is usually a switched live and a constant live to a stereo, the switched live can be used to the remote amp on.

 

Do NOT under any circumstances use the constant live as it will kill your battery as the amp will be sitting there on all the time. 

 

Hope this is some help.
