doing something wrong but don't know what
hey guys i got 05 coupe w bose.
i haven't ordered the JDM piece yet but i got the harness in the mail today, just wanted to check out if my old head unit and accessories still work fine. i have no reason to think it wouldn't work except that it's been sitting in a box for 2 years.
so there are 4 harness pieces that go from the car to the stock head unit/ac unit. i take out the two that go to the stereo, put them into my 70-7550 which is connected properly to my kenwood and i can't get any power or anything out of the kenwood. i thought it might be a blown fuse but it's not. so i found an old pioneer head unit, tried that one too, and not getting any power. can't figure out what i'm doing wrong here. any ideas? i plugged the stock radio back in and it's working as expected. WTF
thanks

It's the wrong harness, but that isn't this problem.
Where did you run the ground during this?
The stock headunit grounds through the body itself, so unless you've grounded the new harness directly to the body it's unlikely to power up.
If the harness is fully connected, check your fuses.
Now if you get everything connected and there's a bunch of noise, you need the PAC ROEM-NIS2 in place of the 70-7550 harness.

Okay, if you're replacing the amp, then you got the right one. It appeared you were trying to keep using the Bose amp at first.
If fuses are good, then just make sure the ground wire from the new headunit's harness is grounded.
If you've a multimeter, it would be easiest to check to make sure power's coming in properly.

ok i never answered wrathernuts question about where i grounded. my deck has a black wire and i hooked it up to the ground wire coming out of the harness. are you all telling me i need to do something different like hook up the ground/black wire from my HU's harness to one of the screws under the radio? sorry if this sounds so stupid but i don't remember doing this for any of my other vehicles. it has been a while though.

Connect those black wires to the metal of the car as BaracaG35 mentioned, and you should be powered up.
