Hello I am looking for the wiring for a Delco/Bose model # 16166166. It came out of a 1994/95 Fleetwood. I would like to install it into my Lady's 1990 Olds 88 Royal Brougham. The wiring harness has been cut. Thank you.

Unless the Olds has a Bose sound system already in it, you'd need to get all new bose speakers and bose amplifiers to be able to use the bose unit.  That's because the bose head units don't have built-in amplifiers and so to hear any sound at all you need a bose amplifier (which requires bose speakers).

Also it's possible to use an aftermarket 4-channel amplifier to power the vehicle's current speakers, but to hook the aftermarket amp up to the bose head unit you'll need bose integration adapters.  A front channel integration adapter (Peripheral GMANAF) and a rear channel integration adapter (Peripheral GMANAR) would be required.  Another less expensive but much more labor-intensive option is to use a single Peripheral VEN4.

You'll get much better sound quality and spend a lot less money by just getting an aftermarket stereo installed in the olds, I guarantee you that.
