Default wiring for Bose system on enthusiast?

Does anyone know if all the wiring harnesses for 350Z'sare the same?
I have a 2004 enthusiast roadster (poor audio) and may have the opportunity to upgrade to the Bose system designed for the roadster...I'm hoping the wiring harness is already in place to accomodate this. Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks in advance,
John

I'm interested in this as well....

I'm looking at switching out all my speakers, and adding a 10" to where the sub would be on my Enthu.

If you're changing all of your speakers, I definitely recommend putting in a quality HU. The Z's stereo has pretty low outputs.

Default Bose Wiring

I know for sure.

If your car is not equipped with a BOSE Head Unit then it doesnt have the BOSE wiring harness.

I tried to use the 6 CD changer in my Track and was told by Nissan that I had to replace the entire wiring harness. $1700 part and 30 hours of labor. Dont waste your money.

Get an Aftermaket head unit and save your money.

If I could find an aftermarket HU that fit the spot well, and didnt look like it was made for a space ship I would...

Personally, I dont like all the flashy stuff and overworked graphics and images that usually are put on HU's...I like them simple and to the point...The power issue is a concern though. Why spend all the cash on some sweet speakers only to have them hindered by the HU....

Yet, I'm sure if I keep on looking I'll find something. Once my damn car gets back from the shop I'm going to take it over to my local audio place and see what I can get into.

If you simple and to the point go with a Nakamichi HU. The CD400 is a great unit and the illum matches the stock amber lighting in the Z.
