Help installing aftermarket H/U [C5] HELP!!!

Eric Hawkins · 07-06-2006, 06:17 PM

Ok guys, I am having so trouble getting my panasonic cd player installed, let me remind you I suck at radio installs lol. I got everything wired up and went to do a sound check, the sound is very muffled, you have to turn the volume up all the way just to hear anything and it is very distorted. Let me go over what exactly I have done.

I purchased the Peripheral SVEN4 like this

Along with there SVHGM4 wiring harness.

First I plugged the wiring harness in to the stock connectors but I have two left over seen here...

I cannot find anywhere they are supposed to go and it looks as if they are spliced in to the speaker wires...

Second I have a connector left over from the factory wiring that I can not find any were to plug in to the aftermarket harness, it is seen here.

OK, I just went ahead and wired everything up as I thought it should be, I first wired the H/U to the SEVN4 and then the SEVN4 to the SVHGM4. I connected my constant power and my Acc power from the H/U to the SVHGM4. The only wired I have not hooked up are the amp power or the power antenna wire. I know that this is more than likely my problem I just don't know were I would hook up the amp wire to the car so the bose amps will turn on? I hope I made sense and any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

check the acc wire with a multimeter. i think that is your problem, you may need to tap off of another source for this (read the faq to know where to find that acc lead)

Ok, I will check that. Just for referance the cd player comes on and operated as it should, I was under the impression that if this was happening then the Acc. wire was doing its job. I don't want to sound like a moron but how does the Acc. wire affect the bose amps?

I remember the time when someone else was installing this adapter and they had to use a different harness that plugged into the adapter.
