hawkie350z Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Just delivered: Kenwood DNX 5220 PAC ROEM-NIS2 (imported from USA) Kenwood PS521 1000w Amp Alpine Type R 1022D 10" Dual 2ohm Subwoofer Custom 350z 10" Sub Enclosure Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth (already installed) Can't wait to fit it all. Although I know it is going to be a pain in the ass as the car already has a Pioneer dvd sat nav system installed (Pioneer Avic900) with a separate screen) but does not work properly. So got to disconnect all that & remove it plus try & keep the Parrot BT wiring. I've done a lot of research so hopefully will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Is the enclose one that is mounted at the back off to the side in the rear compartment of the boot? You upgrading the rest of the speakers? Sound deadening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkie350z Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Keeping orginal Bose speakers, which is why I have bought the PAC ROEM-NIS2. The Custom boot enclosure is set under the strut brace. Sits neatly under it carpeted in the same colour carpet as the boot. I'll put pics up soon.

hawkie350z Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Not installed yet, but have done a lot of the wiring & taken out the old Pioneer set up. Pics below show the wiring loom & testing to make sure it works. Last picture shows where I have just this second soldered the joints & heat shrunk them to tidy the wiring up a bit. Custom sub box also shown. Note: Wires only put together in the block for testing. Picture above just shows some of the Parrot Bluetooth wiring I have kept in the car.

hawkie350z Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Finally Completed the swap a couple of weeks ago. But only just had the time to post all pics up. Below: Before I started............. Origial Bose system & Pioneer Below: The wiring of the Bose & Pioneer Sat Nav/DVD (Not working properly) Below: Glove box behind passanger seat. Wiring from the Pioneer unit. Below: Parrot Wiring with some of the Pioneer. Had to split the two to then hook up the Parrot bluetooth kit to my new Kenwood. New Headunit: Kenwood DNX5220 New subwoofer: Alpine 10" Type R SWR1022D 1500W Peak, 500WRMS Below: PAC ROEM-NIS2 speaker/amp converter. NOTE: Must wire up the Earth cable & run an extra earth cable from the interface to then bolt it to the bodywork for the best earth. Otherwise you will find you will keep blowing the 15amp radio fuse under the bonnet. Below: PAC converter all in place & Kenwood all conected with the Parrot too. Below: Custom sub box for 10" sub bow put in place with speaker wire leading to the glove box behind passanger seat where I will be mounting the amplifier. Below: Wires all hidden up behind the passanger dashboard cover near the cigarette lighter is. I also got a facia adapter to surround the new headunit. Bought this from www.Sextons.co.uk, fits perfectly. Below: Also ran an Ipod audio/video lead to the centre storage box for my iphone. Below: All Finished & all works NOTE: I have now also disconnected the Bose subwoofer behind drivers seat by just unpluging the clip on the speaker itself then screwed it back in again. Hope this can help out a few of you................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1 HNK Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 looks great mate, if i just wanted to fit the screen in the place of my bose, which bits would i need? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkie350z Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 looks great mate, if i just wanted to fit the screen in the place of my bose, which bits would i need? Cheers You should only need the PAC ROEM-NIS2, 1m of extra earth cable, either heat shrink (to cover the soldering) or red bullet plugs (Male & female), Facia adapter & whatever headunit you wish. Then you need to connect the new headunits cable harness to the open ended wires on the PAC. I put an ISO plug on my PAC then the Kenwood cable harness just clicked straight in. cable order = Bose - PAC ROEM-NIS2 - ISO Plug - Kenwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Excellent install, very impressive. Do the steering wheel controls still work? as you didn't mention about fitting an adapter for them? Also are you pleased with the sound from the Bose speakers, or do you think an upgrade is in order?

Do the steering wheel controls still work? as you didn't mention about fitting an adapter for them? Also are you pleased with the sound from the Bose speakers, or do you think an upgrade is in order? I bought the custom sub box from eBay by luck that I found it because I was going to import one from the US. I find the Bose speakers sound alot better with the new headunit. New speakers would obviously sound better but for new speakers you cannot use the Bose amp as it works on 2 ohms whereas normal speakers are 4ohms. So would mean running new speaker cable from headunit or another amp. A lot of hassle. I didn't bother doing the steering wheel adaptor due to expensive & didn't really use it on the Bose system. But can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcash5 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have to ask... you appear to have a parrot kit and a bluetooth cradle without the adaptor? Any particular reason you didnt go down the OEM bluetooth route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkie350z Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have to ask... you appear to have a parrot kit and a bluetooth cradle without the adaptor? Any particular reason you didnt go down the OEM bluetooth route? When I bought the car in Sept 08 the car had the Parrot bluetooth system already in it working & connected to the Bose. So instead of taking that I just left it in. I have searched for other bluetooth devises in the car & only the Parrot comes up. So just kept that.

Rob_Quads Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Personally I prefer the parrot for 1 major reason - you get to see whos calling. Glad to see the Parrot kits being integrated into the major head units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
