Does the Z with the Bose system and navigation
Use the same wiring harness as the one with
Non-navigation
If you have a Bose system and you're only replacing the deck, you'll want to use a PAC ROEM-NIS2 harness. You're bound to have issues without one as the deck will sometimes have issues with the factory Bose amp.
The harnesses are the same between models i believe. You'll have one harness plug from the car left over from the factory navigation voice. You'd just leave that unplugged. Save yourself from possible headaches and buy the PAC ROEM-NIS2 and do it right the first time.
That being said, you still will usually get sound without one. The sound volume is where the issues arise. It sounds like you've blown a fuse.
