Yup. I went and removed my factory Bose HU without taking out the 6 cds I left in there. Anyone know(other than hooking it back up)what is power and ground on the back so I can get these out?

 

I have an alternate power source. Anyone have a schematic of the harness on the rear of the stock HU?

 

take the headunit out and plug it back in

 

Yah I was thinking that too but I should be able to connect power and ground to the back of the HU to get just enough power to get those suckers out.

 

what... that sucks... haha... must have been eager... take that cd changer apart!!!

 

I looked through my ESM, and the pin-out for the radio isn't given. I'd go to a local car stereo place and look at their Nissan wiring harnesses and write down the pin locations for the power and ground wires.

Look for Red (switched power), yellow (constant power) and black (ground) wires. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the radio might get the ground connection through the mounting bracket, so just ground the metal case. These three should be sufficient to power it up.

 

power supply wire should be red or orange I believe and ground should be black

 

Thanks for the help guys but I think hooking it back up seems best at this point. It takes me like 5-10 min to get the radio now.

 

 

too funny.....

Can't you hook up the HU to a PC power supply? I think someone had told me that you could hook up a PC power supply by splicing in a molex connecter to the HU's power/ground wires. I think that is how Repair places for Alpine, Panasonic, Jensen, etc etc work on defective units when you send them in for repair or refurb....

I would use the hammer though....
