mylesmcg Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 ok i've taken a look throught that thread but i still can't figure out which leads i need. i have the bose system and i want to retain the steering wheel controls. please can someone tell me exactly what i need as i'm a complete n00b at this stuff Quote
Walbertonio Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Looks like you need: Facia: http://www.sextonsdirect.co.uk/facia_pa ... 0-306.html Loom: http://www.sextonsdirect.co.uk/steering ... 9-674.html Adapter for Loom: http://www.sextonsdirect.co.uk/ict/p~29-005.html?cat=0 Double check them though!

mylesmcg Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 cheers bud do i need these aswell? http://www.sextonsdirect.co.uk/adaptor_ ... 0-134.html Quote
yokomo Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 nope thats for none bose , so what youve got list above and yourgood to go ! Quote
yokomo Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 make sure you check you have the pre out on your head unit hooked up thr ight way so the front is front back back etc as they arent marked on the new harness so id advise you fire it up before you start cramming wires and dash back togther. other than youl should be done pretty quick although an extra pair of hands is really use full whenyou got dash Hu etc trying to mate !

sunset350z Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 And make sure you wire in an earth lead from the headunit to the chassis Quote
yokomo Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 didnt need to on mine , but im fully amplified so the Hu isnt under laod . Quote
mylesmcg Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 do i need the pac roem nis2 adaptor as well if im keeping the standard bose speakers and amp? Quote
yokomo Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 no if your using the parts Walbertonio linked then no thats its , you plug directly into the head units pre outs . it will be quite clear once youve got all 3 bits how they connect to your new system. Quote
mylesmcg Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 great thanks. glad to get all that cleared up before i order this week. much appreciated Quote
mylesmcg Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 just ordered the kenwood hu with the bluetooth unit now i play the waiting game better come before the weekend so i can get it fitted or at least make an attempt Quote
mylesmcg Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 ok i got the parts i needed as above and i've tried wiring the whole lot but with no joy. i've got power but no sound. where do the red and white rcas go? and does the 674 loom just plug into the loom that came with the kenwood unit and should it just work? sorry for being a n00b Quote
Rob_Quads Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 The red and white RCAs go into the head unit in the front and rear outputs Quote
mylesmcg Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 there are 3 outputs on the back front preouts rear preout/sub preout audio/visual output which 1 do i plug into? Quote
Rob_Quads Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Front pre-out Rear pre-out Those are the ones you want to be connecting up to. Quote
mylesmcg Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 theres only one 1 rca (red/white) cable though. i'll take a pic in the next few mins to show you Quote
mylesmcg Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 this is what i have so far should the bit circled A not go somewhere? and where does B go for the steering wheel controls? i tried it in the remot cont but no joy. Quote
chippy Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 The 674 loom should have 4 RCAs - Black Yellow and Red and White. I can only see the red and white ones in your pic? B looks like the blue remote turn on wire. On my Pioneer this plugs into a blue wire with a bullet connector on the pioneer cable, but as you have power already maybe it's not required? The steering wheel control cable is a separate cable - doesnt come with the 674 - you buy it seperately. It has a 3.5mm jack one end and a small white connector on the other end that plugs into the black box on the 674 cable. If "A" is the car speaker cables (which it looks like) this is spare and doesn;t plug in anywhere as the RCA's provide the signal to the AMP instead. Quote
mylesmcg Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 if you look at the back of the pic you can see the yellow and black rcas aswell B is the separate steering wheel cable that i bought where do the the 2 sets of rcas plug into? and will these provide sound? Quote
chippy Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 OK, so that B connector should go into the HU external remote socket. RCAs are as follows:- Yellow RCA = Left Rear Black RCA = Right Rear White = Left Front Red = Right Front Quote
mylesmcg Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 thanks mate will try that and see if i get sound Quote
