Does anyone have a wireing diagram for a '91 maxima with a bose system? I'm trying to hook up my CD player to it instead of the bose tape deck.

Thanks, but i found that one awhile ago. It's just for the factory system, not the bose. My Bose system has about 16 wires comeing from the car harness, whereas the factory diagram only names about 11 i think. The problem is my back 6 by 9's don't work, although my front speakers do. I've checked the connections according to the factory diagram, and have failed to find the problem. Thanks anyways though.

You can email tech support at American International or Metra for information concerning the system in the Nissan. They should have the information for you , just ask nicely  ------------- Jeff

Hey GoldTop, It is possible to Hotwire this radio for aftermarket stuff. Looking from the rear of the radio you should see a 5 pin din plug ( Radio Shack 274-003 ). Starting at the top left and going in a "U" shape the first pin is #3 and is audio ground. The next is #5 right channel in. Then the bottom middle #2 is not connected. The next is #4 and is left channel in. And finally #1 is CD on signal. The CD on requires that a 12+ remote turn-on signal be sent when the CD is on and Zero volts when off. The audio levels are maxed at 250-350mv. Turning your CD on turns off your radio but the CD must be turned off before turning on the radio. ------------- Prepare your future. It wasn't the lack of stones that killed the stone age.

Thanks, i'll have to look into that, see what happens. She's in the shop now getting a new paint job, so it'll have to wait for a bit, but i'll get on it.

Use a Bose interface adaptor. It will save you a headache.

your best bet is to get a Metra 701763 wiring harness and a Metra 40ni10 antenna adapter for you aplication......you have to bypass the bose amps or your you might burn out the radio. you have to go into the doors for the front speaker amps, they are behind the 4" speaker .......in the back 6x9 all you have to do is jump some wires and you are allset

I'm pretty familiar with this and can tell you there are four wires going to each amp module that are next to each Proprietary Bose speaker (1 OHM Impedance). One wire is Ground, one is AMP_Turn_ON/Amp Power, and the other two are the proprietary signal wires (Not Speaker level and Not Line Level). Because the Bose system is NON-STANDARD in every aspect, If you are hooking up a different head unit, you will need to purchase a BOSE adaptor (https://www.peripheral-aamp.com/periph_products/line_output_convert.htm) As far as checking the rear speakers, you can first measure across the speaker coil to make sure their not fried. Also, you can check for 12V at the 4 pin connector to make sure it's getting the Turn On/ Power. If those two things are ok, then it's possible that the AMP Module is bad. Looks like Peripheral (link above) just started selling replacement BOSE amp modules in case you need replacement(s) (Rather pricey though!) .
