Having a problem with upgrading my 2006. I'm trying to tap the Bose preamp wiring harness. Problem is that I don't seem to have the same color wires that the posts on this site mention. I have the gray/red and brown/red, but not the green/orange or blue/orange. Help!!!

 

Did you see this?

Yeah. This is what I'm talking about. My wire colors aren't the same. Is the 2006 setup the same?

 

Anyone??? This is holding up my install. Didn't realize I wasn't getting a signal until I starting testing.

 

does this help?

Amplifier Input for 2004:

R/L: LF+
LG/R: LF-
L/W: RF+
Y/G: RF-
L/O: LR-
G/O: LR+
BR/R: RR-
GY/R: RR+
(L=Blue)


Can't imagine them changing, but if wire colors aren't the same, one of you will have to be the first to buy a new service manual and share it w/ us.

 

I've reviewed EVERY LOC related post on this site. The preamp wire colors just don't match any of the pics or descriptions. Aghhhh.....

 

Why don't you take some pictures and post? Maybe someone can chime in if they have what you have. I've got a 2006 too and would be curious to find out. I'm planning on adding a Basslink in the next couple of weeks.

 

it will be a couple weeks till iget my car back from the body shop, thanks to a high school girls drviing ability... but when i do, i have my stuff sitting here waiting to install... i am using the david navone NE-7V. when i do mine i will post pics..

btw i have an 06 shinka, so hopefully they should be the same. look for me in a couple weeks to a month in the DIY.. i know it'll be a multi repost DIY, but it cant hurt, ESPECIALLY if wire colors have changed.

 

how did your installation go? I am planning on installing an amplifier for my rear speakers..any nice to know about 06 SHINKA and installing amplifiers.

 

Sorry to hijack a thread but I'm in the proccess of installing a LOC and am little confused about the colors listed

R/L: LF+ R/ L R=Red what is L?
LG/R: LF- LG/R is this Light Green/Red?
L/W: RF+ L/W What is L?
Y/G: RF- Yellow/Green
L/O: LR- L/O what is L?
G/O: LR+ G/O Green/Orange
BR/R: RR- Brown/Red
GY/R: RR+ GY/R What is GY? R Red
(L=Blue) L=Blue What is meant by this?

Sorry if this seems stupid but any input would be greatly appreciated. Anybody with CarPC questions feel free to PM got mine install cant wait to get the upgraded audio installed.

Thanks

 

The last line (L=Blue) answers your "what is L" questions.
Yes, LG is Light Green
GY = Gray
