1998 i30 stereo help

[98i30pusher]

ive been scratching my head on this all day. i got a new 7in double din sony for my car and ive got the harness and adaptors hooked correctly. but the 6 pin round plug what does it do? it works fine but there is no sound coming out. would that connector be the factor why? i know i could search but ive looked til my eyes hurt. any help would be gladly appreciated

According to my Google-fu the plug maybe for the steering wheel control if equipped or CD changer, I may be wrong on that. I didn't plug mine in and it worked fine. What kind of harnesses did you use and what kind of head unit?

[98i30pusher]

its a Sony xav-712hd 7in double din. and i believe its a schosche kit. came with 2 harnesses with 2 rcas on each

[ST19AG_WGreymon]

I have no experience with the Schosche kit sorry. If anything I'd say double check your connections. I don't see anything wrong with using that head unit.

If your i30 is Bose equipped I'd get this:

No fuss harness adapter turns the proprietary harnesses into standard.

the harness is a metra but the antena is the schosche

[ST19AG_WGreymon]

The Metra harness should be good to go, I'm assuming you used the 75-7551 model?

Double check your wiring with this chart:
Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Yellow
Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Violet
Car Radio Ground Wire: Chassis
Car Radio Illumination Wire: Red/White
Car Stereo Dimmer Wire: Red/Yellow
Car Stereo Antenna Trigger Wire: Green/White
Car Stereo Amp Trigger Wire: Green/White
Car Stereo Amplifier Location: Under the Rear Deck in the Trunk
Car Audio Front Speakers Size: N/A

Left Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): White
Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Black
Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Green

its the same one. its made by american internation. looks to be the same thing

[ST19AG_WGreymon]

This is what I'm getting according to the head unit's wiring diagram:

Car wire (HU wire)

Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Yellow (Wire 5)
Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Violet (Wire 4)
Car Radio Ground Wire: Chassis (Wire 1)
Car Radio Illumination Wire: Red/White (Wire 3)
Car Stereo Dimmer Wire: Red/Yellow (NC)
Car Stereo Antenna Trigger Wire: Green/White (NC)
Car Stereo Amp Trigger Wire: Green/White (Wire 2)

i ordered that thing you linked and a metra harness without the rcas since my unit doesnt have preouts. but what are those for? im a little lost

[ST19AG_WGreymon]

You shouldn't need the Metra harness. But when you receives the PAC ROEM NIS2 here's the way it should hook up:

===Stock audio====I----------------------I
I PAC ROEM NIS2 I===included harness=////==Sony harness====Head unit
===Stock audio====I----------------------I

You'll just be splicing(////) the Sony harness to the harness that comes with the PAC ROEM NIS2.

The PAC ROEM NIS2 will convert the Nissan audio connections into standard connections, means the colors should all match up as well. Most likely the Bose amp isn't being triggered for some reason, possibly because wire aren't matching up correctly. If the amp isn't triggered the speakers won't work.

[98i30pusher]

that pac is amazing! got it all hooked up and it sounds amazing. do you know if the amp will handle a set of my polk audion db651s speakers? or do i need to just rewire it all. and btw my left front speaker doesnt work. i guess its blown so now the upgrades begin lol

[ST19AG_WGreymon]

I don't see why it wouldn't. I'm glad you got it all working. I was beginning to worry a bit there.

[98i30pusher]

My left front won't play sound. Would it be blown?

[ST19AG_WGreymon]

Check you wiring. You can also test your speaker using a AA battery: http://stereos.about.com/od/troubleshoo ... ctions.htm
