I am having a really hard time finding the correct harness to replace my dead BOSE stereo.

I am installing an Alpine and have purchased 4 different harness from different places and NONE of them are the correct harness off of the bose system


anyone ever splice the whole thing?

Please help .. been with out a radio since the central meet

 

Where'd you buy the first 4? When I put a JVC deck in my 97 I had to get my pigtail special ordered through Best Buy. Talk about a pain in the d*ck lol

 

i got 2 from best buy
one from crutchfield
ebay and
an actual audio store in the area


and what was that you had against long island?

 

LOL I've got nothing against Long Island, LI is 51 in Roman Numerals

I was going to recommend Circuit City, thats where I got the pigtails for all the other cars I've put stereos in but they're outta business now. Do you have the Bose Symphony or Concert? If you could, take a pic of the plug for me and I'll try to see what I can come up with.

 

ill post up a picture and the concert plugs where working so i suppose symphony ..

 

even crutchfield and best buy couldn't help you out? no way. did you buy them yourself or did you have them pick it out for you? this is the first time i've heard of crutchfield failing to provide the right harness. i'd go back to crutchfield and yell at them.

brie you have the concert. symphony is facelift doubledin

 

ok than I dont see why it isnt working..

jc was with me when i pulled my stock radio out and said i was missing a plug?

and yes someone else a "manager" pulled the parts

crutchfeild was a 2 pc order I had to order another harness for a different car in the same order they happened to send me some randon thing that wasnt even for an audi/vw

 

I bought a preamp Metra harness through CarDomain - it gives speaker-level wiring connections for the fronts and RCA-style preamp connectors for the amped rear speakers. Works great.

 

how much was it and how long did you wait for it?

 

I think it was about $19. Not sure how long it took but it was less than a week. Pretty reasonable overall.
