2002 bose amp pin-out for aftermarket kenwood NAV install


Recommended Posts

2002 C2 coupe w/ bose speakers and bose amp.

I'm going to pull the factory radio and install a kenwood double-din dvd-nav unit.

For now I will retain the bose amp and speakers, I would like to send the 2v low-level RCA outputs of the kenwood to the bose amp's inputs.

Anyone have access to the radio and amplifier wiring schematic?

Would be highly appreciated!

This is exactly what I want to do.

Where is the BOSE amp located ? how are the speakers connected ?

Currently i have a traffic pro 4670 installed, it's a 2002 car. Have not been able to figure out if it is using the internal amp (4 outputs for speakers) or some lineout for an external amp ? How many BOSE speakers are there in a 2002 C4S ? How are they normally connected ?

thanks

The amp is located in the luggage compartment above the spare tire-

You only need to work with the wires at the radio side-

There are a front L/R pair of wires and a rear L/R pair of wires in the brown radio plug, and the wiring diagram is on the radio body or in your owner's manual for the radio. (it is like that on my CDR220 head unit, it should be similar for the traffic pro).

There is one undocumented wire in the C3 plug (black w/ red stripe) that is the remote turn-on for the bose amp.

It's a very easy wiring job, you hook up the speaker outputs of the aftemarket NAV/DVD to the speaker wire inputs of the car. The bose sub uses a summed signal from the speaker wires and is connected to the bose amp directly.

This my finished result- I also relocated the AC control to the upper slot of the lower console:
