I want to replace the stock bose in my 2002 pathfinder, so I purchase the following head unit:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091U ... UTF8&psc=1

Along with this PAC Roem NIS2 adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CE ... UTF8&psc=1

However, I am not clear on how to match up the bare wires from the head unit to the bare wires of the adapter. It gives 3 different instructions (for the head unit), which can be found here:

http://www.manualslib.com/manual/412088 ... ml?page=16

I assume it's the second one labeled "Perform these connections when using a sub-woofer without the optional amplifier"

Thanks for any help!

here's a pic of the manuals, and the adapter I have has way more wires than what is coming out of the stereo adapter. The stereo diagram in on the left and the adapter is on the right, and I need to connect the 18 wires.

The adapter has several right/left + (positive) that are low level and high level....I have nothing like that on the new head unit....

Confused :confused:

Had not seen this product. I clicked on the link to the manual but my browser displayed a bucch of jumbled text - looked like one page over the other. Can't read it.

Look at the very end of the first review on Amazon by RickNY which pretty much says you tape off the low level outputs.

Can you get it from there?

Ya, I figured it out. Needed to wire up the high end ones, and they matched colors, so it was easy breazy. I did miss that blue and white wire is the amp power. It was labeled "remote" on the head unit, so I assumed it was for the remote that came with the head unit, but it was actually the power for the Bose amp.

It ended up being the diagram all the way on the bottom left of the image I supplied in my second post.

Pretty nice upgrade! I will have to think about that!
