I searched everywhere i cant find what i was looking for, but i remember reading somewhere that BOSE makes an adapter that allows you to plug an aftermarket heaunit into their BOSE system.

this would be for a 2000 tl.

I know I read a post somewhere about this and i think it was uncald4 who mentioned it, but i cant find the thread on azine.

also i have a jvc kd-nx5000 what do i need to keep steering wheel controls?

 

Your in luck. i just installed a KD-ADV38 in my 01 Cl-S. The adaptor your talking about is made by PAC and its called the OEM2. Its a 4 channel switch that you connect to your aftermarket wiring harness, then connect to your cars old plug for the speakers. Uncald4 makes a kit that is a straight plugin from the stereo to the old plug for about 70 bucks. In order to retain the steering, you can purchase that from him as well, or you can check out ebay.
Heres a pict of the kit he sent with my jvc harness already wired by me. I also used the metra dash kit, wet sanded and painted.


Heres the link to the discussion.

Hope this helps.

 

WORD.

 

buyit from this guy... good stuff come out of his work

 

thanks for the info and the link !

uncald4, i will be giving you a call sending a pm soon.


wish i lived closer, i'd just take the car to your shop. dont trust installers out here in buf ny. maybe i havent looked hard enough though.

 

you won't get the instant gratification sending it to him but it is well worth it

 

You got it. I do get a ton of business from the east coast. I've been told that it's slim pickin's for good installers arounds them parts.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Word of mouth is worth a lot.

 

uncald4, sent you a pm in regards to wiring install for 2000 tl.

 

i was wondering what the kit was used for? if i am going to replace the speakers and the head unit, do i need to get one?

 

No sir. If you're replacing both the deck and all speakers you don't need a BOSE interface adapter. You WILL need to bypass your BOSE amp though.
