I have a question for the pros.... I have an 03 H2, installed the D3, had to use that harness so the chimes/onstar and all that will still work.... part of that harness uses 4 rca plugs, left/right, front/rear.... Anyways, a few things... the volume, even at 40 isnt as loud as it used to be.... Also, certain speakers will come on and off at random times.... It has the bose system, planning on swapping out the bose for new amp/speakers... but i dont know when yet... Any suggestions on why the speakers are coming and going and also about the volume thing? Anyone had experience with the H2's with Bose/Onstar harness and all that...?

Since there's at least 4 different interfaces I know of for that vehicle, what's the model number of the one you used?

So it seems that the consensus here is that when installing a D3 with a Bose system, you are better off using the speaker level vs. RCA? Are there any issues with distortion when using speaker level?

Also, does this just apply to Nissan Bose systems or all Bose systems?

Most car manufacturers just buy the name "Bose", to put on their systems. Bose then checks out the system to see if it's up to par.

It's all 99% hype and marketing.

So in short, there is no standard between all the different Bose systems.

That is not 100% correct.

The headunit is the component that is not made by Bose and has just the name on it....and of course, they insure it is compatible with their amplifiers or vise versa.

That does not apply to the amplifiers and speakers.

Any confirmation on this?

Has anybody used this piece with the AVIC D3 and Bose?
