Plug n play harness

[splatrd]

While searching for better sub options for the Bose system I came across a company that makes plug n play harnesses. I am curious if anyone has tried their harness and had good luck with them?

As I read it, this is just for the signal, so you still need to run remote, and power for a sub/amp
I guess it would save splicing a couple of wires.

They have several options in the drop-down menu. There is one that provides RCA outputs for the sub plus remote turn lead. You will still have to provide your own power and ground cables. What was most interesting to me is that it says the signal bypasses the ANC system. So, in theory, you won't have to go to dealer to turn it off.

I went ahead and order the harness, and while waiting for it I started building my sub enclosure.

Hey how did you make out with the harness?

Apparently, the company was overwhelmed with orders over the holidays and is back logged. I am still waiting on mine to show up. They responded to inquiry and said they are at 3-7 week lead time at the moment. I will update once I receive it.

gotcha, I’d suspect they are still in R&D. I reach out to pnp kits and hush audio, used them for 2 other vehicles to see when they will come out with options as well. I’ll post their response for sure.

this is great. so if I want to replace all my speakers, upgrade the amp, and get a sub, I should get the "Replace Factory Amp + Add a Subwoofer Amp?"

Did you ever receive this and get it installed?

Been busy last few weeks. I did finally receive the harness and got everything installed. Overall, it was a decent harness with everything labeled. The instructions were lacking a bit, as it only gave very general instructions. The biggest pain was just accessing the Bose amp. I ended up cutting the foam that sits on top of the amp to avoid removing all of the trim panels. It was pretty straight forward like its name just plug in inline at the amp. Then run wires to the new amp. They include a connector that can be left unconnected to bypass ANC, which is what I did. It was a little bit more than I wanted to pay, but worth it to not splice into factory wiring. Plus, easy to remove if I ever want to sell the car. I had previously run a power wire from battery compartment through the grommet behind the battery. That part was a little tedious, but not as bad as some cars I have worked on before. Sorry I did not get any pictures of the process, just after installation was complete.
