After Market Head Unit, Speakers & Amp

[Bca8ball]

Hello All - New to this great site:

OMG there is a lot of information and I have been pouring over it for days as I get ready to replace my 05 (non-working CD) Bose sound system. I have previously done typical installs but this one appears to be unique and will be a great (to be proud of) project for me and my teen son.

Once and for all, does anyone have an actual listing of the harness needed to keep all the current functions working for a new Stereo/CD unit: 2, 3, or 4 harnesses?

1. Chimes - Door
2. Chimes - Roof
3. Standard Hook up - SSR wiring to new unit
4. Steering wheel controls

I am sure this would help others as well, too many different shops with different answers and that simply can't, won't or don't know how.

Here is the plan:
1. Replacing door and rear speakers with 6.5 POLK AUDIO DB6501
2. Installing a 5 channel 500 to 700 watt Amp
3. Installing a PIONEER DEH-P6000UB CAR CD/MP3 USB IPOD RECEIVER
4. Leaving the 5th channel open for a future custom fiberglass Sub (at 5' 6") I have room behind the drivers seat but not committed to the sub yet; depending in the end sound.

Thanks in advance
David

Here is what I had done: Click Here for my system upgrade!

My first post in the thread linked above lists the modules used to maintain Door chimes and steering wheel controls. The Door and Roof Chimes are tied to the same source so you only need one module to handle both "noise" functions.

Oh Yeah! Welcome Aboard!!

As previously mentioned, do a search on sterio install and you'll get some info concerning pass. side airbag. It's a pain when removing the dash. Also if you kill power at any point, make sure your windows are down so you don't run into the indexing issue and mess up the door seals. A couple of wires ( don't rremember which) were easier to access at the BCM under the waterfall than under the dash. Good Luck!
