i am about to be installing a double din into my 04 sedan in about a week. i have a couple quesitons though...

1. what is the peice that i need to keep the steering wheel buttons functionable? (searched and couldnt find it)

2. does the metra kit keep the dual controls? i saw that someone was saying that you would have to do some saudering (sp) on one of the kits to keep it but i dont know which kit it was.

3. i take it i am going to have to go to best buy and get the wire adaptor for the back of the head unit into the factory wiring like you do with all aftermarket units?

4. since i am installing just a head unit and not door speakers, will my boss amp that powers the doors still be working with this aftermarket head unit?

5. i saw something about needing a metra wireing adapter also. what is that?

6. will i need a metra antena adapter also? wouldnt the antena just plug into the back of the deck like every other car? or is it talking about something different?

1. PAC SWI-??? where ??? relates to your brand - Pioneer is SWI-PS, Kenwood is SWI-JACK...

2. Yes

3. Don't support best buy for car audio. Order online or go to a real car audio place. You have a Bose headunit so you need the Metra 70-7551 harness.

4. Yes

5. See #3

6. Yes. No. It converts the nissan 2-prong style to the "universal" motorola style

 

ok so on this harness.

i have circles all the different sections.




is this what each one is for. just making sure i understand it

red circle - sub or speaker amp
green circle - sub or speaker amp
blue circle - factory plug for back of deck
yellow circle - splice into new deck and stock amp wires?

 

also what is the part number for the antena adaptor?

and if the deck that i get only has 1 set of rca outs (for a subwoofer)

what do i hook the other rca's up to on the metra adapter

 

ok so justt to make things clear.

so far i have...

head unit
dd kit
Metra 70-7551 harness

now all i need is the antena adaptrt? does anyone have a link for that

 

Red circle - rear channels
green circle - front channels
blue circle - connects to the harness that plugged into the back of the factory deck
yellow circle - gets soldered/crimped to the equivalent wire from the harness that plugs into the back of your new stereo, that comes with your new stereo.

The antenna adapter you're after is the Metra 40-NI10.

 

And some decks are very quiet when outputting to the factory bose amp through the 70-7551.
You may need a PAC ROEM-NIS2 to correct that.
