Hey wrathernaut, hopefully, last question. I have everything installed including my clarion hu. Any ways, everything seems to be working fine, but i have no audio. Hu powers up and receives and says it's playing cd's. The only things i can think of are either the manual adjustments on the pacroemnis which i haven't touched. The other thing is that i have it wired into the low level plugs and I'm wondering if i should try the high level plugs... Thanks!

I'm not familiar with clarion units, so it may be a setting in the radio to toggle between low and high power outputs, or you may have to use the high level plugs.
That's kind of what I was thinking. Everything works fine as far as the radio, but no matter what the volume no sound. I'll check the settings on the radio to see if it gives me an option to select between the two and if not it'll only take a minute to rewire those 4 wires.

When keeping Bose amplifier, yes. Without the Bose amplifier, no.

^ If you can fix it yourself, yeah, otherwise, no. The F900BT was a well-featured unit, but had too many quirks and bugs and general slowness I wouldn't bother.
Ohhh I see. It's kind of iffy, but was hoping I could get it for cheaper and try it out. Maybe not, but what are you thoughts on refurbished headunits?

You don't have to answer that previous question. Ended up winning a bid on ebay for a nice new one for pretty cheap, but anyways..
Just making sure.. if I get this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...-99-7604T.html
I'll still have to buy a new AC controller?

Both of these options require using an amplifier, whether it's the factory Bose unit, or an aftermarket one.
Best option is a 6v 3PDT Relay - Mutes all audio and plays nav voice in driver's front speaker:

There's this one if you can find a good 9v DPDT relay, it doesn't mute, just swaps the audio at driver's front speaker:

Hey bro, it's been a while. I'm finally get the chance to continue working on this.
Got couple Q for you.
Do you know the exact voltages of Pin 24 and Pin 30?
I'm expecting Pin 24 to be 9V.
We can look at this
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/dk...&name=Z1636-ND
it has 8.4VDC as turn on voltages, so it should be good. They don't have anything at 9VDC.
Ended up getting a Pioneer BT3200. Would I have to worry about the video brake bypass?
Blah nvm. Should add that to the front page cause I totally forgot to buy that -__-.

do you think the PAC ROEM-NIS2 will be that much more of a difference while keeping the factory amp? i dont want to tear apart my entire dash again just for slight gains. i have no plans to upgrade my speakers or replacing the amp at this time, so this will be my last resort in improving the audio.
just thought i'd make a post thanking Wrathernaut for making this thread. all the info to the videos you posted and made helped out A LOT!!
heres some pics of my setup. pioneer avh-p4300dvd



i had to swap the buttons out from the OEM climate control to the jdm climate control so they would match the buttons on the OEM navi. the only small problem is the dividers between rear defrost - uncirculate and mode - ac buttons are still black.
but oh well
