Alright, so I ordered all the necessary parts for the installation of my new DD Headunit (JVC KW-AVX740), and I managed to take apart my dash, get the old stereo unit out, put the new stereo unit in the skyline piece. Now I'm looking at all these wires and I have no clue how to wire them up. I have a PAC ROEMNIS2 adapter because it's a bose system.

When looking at this picture below, you can see A is the new head unit, and it came with a plug with a bunch of wires coming out of it(B) Then on the PAC ROEMNIS2 there are more stray wires(C) that look like they should connect with B?

I guess what I'm asking is how do i hook up these wires to each other? Am i supposed to solder them together after stripping the ends? That seems extremely hard to do cleanly and safely(for me atleast). Am I missing something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm guessing at this point you figured it out, but I always preferred heat shrink, crimp tubes (i don't know the technical name) or soldering.

Since you don't want to solder, I recommend these guys with some heat shrink over them to prevent pulling out: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103505

Let us know how it turned out.

Alright, so I just gave up and took it to best buy, and the lead installer there turned out to have an 03 g35 coupe, so he already knew how to do everything perfectly even when I showed up with the dash half taken apart and the center console piece in the trunk. Within an hour the car was ready to go! (cost me looots of money though :/) I'll post pics in a couple of days when I review it if anyone cares.

Yeah, all you really needed to do was match colors between B & C and a few from A with the corresponding wires on C.

Glad it turned out well though.

+1 on heat shrink tubes too. I finally got some and wouldn't go back to electrical tape if you paid me.
