Thats what the harness does. Straight plug and play and "Welllahhh" You have RCA plugs.

I guess I'm just trying to hook it up standard.

------Otherwise use a Line-out converter & Run RCA's to the AMP
5) Splice into the Remote wire (going into Factory Amp)

Sounds Kinda complicated but shouldnt take you more than an hour or so. Just search for the Bose Wiring Diagram.

Hope that was a help
I understand the the splicing of the wires and have seen the diagrams. It really doesn't look that difficult. What I'm wondering is, with this harness, does that make it so that you don't need to splice any wires anymore?

^You have to snap slide your fingers under the panel and pull them gently because there are clips holding the panel.

Update

For those of you that tried to order the DD kit, Metra will be releasing at the end of the month. I found this out on Saturday from a local car audio shop here in Boston. When one gets to the store (scheduled sometime at the end of the month) the owner is going to give me a call to check it out I will take pics to update you guys as of to the quality of the kit.

There are some metal rods that you just lift up from behind the locks. They are like joints and they just pop out. The window harness is also a harness with a clip on it.

I will be sure to send you a PM to let you know. Also how long has your A/C controller been on back order?

Probably a stupid question. Where exactly does the harness plug in?
The extra plug near the amp?
Also how long did it take to recieve it?

^These plugs go behind the radio and make the RCA ouputs for you from right there. I got my harnesses in about 4 days after I ordered them.
