Car not changing gear, like not leaving park at all?
If, when re-installing the auto shifter trim, you don't get the shaft through the indicator slide, that can interfere with shifting.
The rest of the illumination I'd chalk up to a blown fuse from not disconnecting the battery.

It sounds like you must have inadvertently unplugged another harness in there, and I'm not as familiar with the 03/04s to give you a good idea where it would be, you might want to try the interior/exterior subforums, as the regulars in there remove a lot more panels than this one.

Yeah, you end up with unused harnesses when you do the install.

Hi, thanks for this awesome info.
1) Does anybody have a pic of the wiring harness for the BOSE amp? I plan on running an aftermarket amplifier and running the speaker wires directly to the wires connected to amp.
2) Is there an easy way to disable the stock amp or does it need to stay connected? I plan on getting a 5 channel amp. Running 2 subs bridged to the 1 channel, 6x9's and rear speakers to 2 channels and the front speakers to 2 channels.
Thanks in advance. I will have other questions as I go through the process. My dash is currently ripped apart.

About to perform this install tonight on a '03 (with Bose). Can someone explain the need to "connect and ground" ground wires on the PAC+HU, and Metra+M39? I assume PAC grounds it to a common ground on the other end of the harness and M39 harness is already grounded as well. Unless I'm mistaken?

Sirius satellite radio receiver at the top of the picture, and the one at the bottom of the photo comes up as G35 rear active steering control unit. There's also a leaf from a deciduous tree.
Adapter on the right side is the bluetooth telephone adapter.
The one you can see underneath is the bose 6-channel amplifier.
It's the bluetooth adapter harness. You'll have to disconnect it and splice the red, green, and yellow wires together to allow the steering wheel adapter to function when you put in the aftermarket radio and steering wheel adapter.

What harness is this?

Which steering wheel adapter? If the Metra Axxess, you probably didn't have the volume up held long enough (seriously, it takes much longer than you'd expect) to let it auto-program, or didn't have it held at all as per the instructions. Second most likely thing, is that the yellow wire from the M39 isn't grounded solidly.

P.S. I see where I f'ed up. I didn't wire up the remote control wire to the HU... Back to fixing that now lol
Edit 2: It's working now. I just assumed the 4 wires on M39 were it and didn't read further... had to wire in the 3.5 mm female plug and plug the male counterpart in. Thanks again!

Ok. Are u able to tell me which wires I am splicing together because it seems like there are multiple wires the same color. I thought I had seen a diagram before on how to do this. Sorry for so many questions, I just want to get this right...
