Metra 99-7510 for 04. NO SOUND. HELP
Tonight I installed a Pioneer single din into my 8 using Metra's kit (99-7510HG). Spliced the wires, hooked everything up. It all worked great until I tried to turn on the radio or plug in my phone. No sound what so ever coming out of any of the stock Bose speakers. Everything else works HVAC, display, lighting but no sound.
I honestly have no idea where to look for the problem. Fuses are good. I was searching around and I saw something about the stock Bose amp having compatibility issues with aftermarket radios and I saw suggestions about bypassing the amp and going straight to the speakers? Or is it just a power or remote wire that isn't in the right spot?
Does anyone have an accurate wiring diagram of the car's harness and of the Bose amp harness? In case I need to use a remote wire from there.
I've spent too much money and time to give up now! So I WILL OVERCOME... but I'll need some help. I about doused my car in gas and lit it on fire because it was so frustrating. anyways.
I know there's so many possibilities so suggest away! Thanks!

Make sure the blue/white wire is hooked up correctly from the harness. (remote turn on) It signals the amp to turn on. If it is correct and it doesn't turn on, undo the wire. Some cars require them to be hooked up, some factory stereos don't. I could tell you more when I get to work tomorrow but honestly I forgot.
You may also need a Line Out Converter to bypass the factory amp. I don't have the Bose system so I never needed to worry about it but I'll look into it more for you tomorrow.
