Bro u saved my life. Previous owner made a mess of the wires. I had them all correct just no sound at all until I figured out by watching your video that they grey wire is the one power for amplifier, and now it booms so good . Insane sound

Can you make a detailled video of how to retrofit a Complete Bose audio set (4 speakers, subwoofer and loom) in to a 147? That would be very great and you will help a lot of people with that.
Where exactly are you connecting the grey wire from the yellow box (next to the green box: steering wheel controls) to? Is it a ground wire and are toy combining it with the 12v constant? Thanks
If I remember right the gray wire is for the amplifier, and it is connected either to dedicated wire for that on multimedia, or to the key on wire... But it was long time ago, I am sure you can get it from the video...
I think it was to the 12v ignition wire.. Yet im not sure if I should combine them both? As do you know if the grey is a ground wire or ok to combine? Thanks
please help me! I did everything as you showed, but I have no sound! what could be the problem ??) please write how to connect the amplifier cable, I know that without it even the original radio could not play sound
@@arcgarage I did everything as you showed and everything works except for the sound! I'll try again tomorrow! when I start connecting the wires to the speakers I hear only crackle.
Retrace your steps, you shouldn't be hearing nothing when connecting speakers. Maybe you have a different issue, or maybe you connected amplifier to 12V constant wire?
You got key1 and key2 wires on aftermarket connector. Connect pink/purple wire (green connector on factory harness) to key1 wire, connect pink/green wire to key2 wire. Last thing you have to do is connect purple/black wire also from green connector, to ground wire, and you're done...
Hey there, great vid! And nice channel. So I've recently purchased an android radio for my gt as well. After installing (thanks to your great manual) I found out I can not set the radio on low volume. If I turn it to volume 1 it already blast louder then I usually play my music. Any thoughts on that? Probably has to do with the bose soundsystem, hope I can figure out why... best regards! Sebastiaan

hello, i did like you for "cage"... but I don't know how to center it to fit to plastic frame without frame (just to put screws) and put plastic frame back and done it? i hope ypu understand question :)
Hi, i have problem everyting works, but the navigation suck my battery power compleatly when the car is not working.Maybe i conected the navigation to the constant 12v not into the ignition?
Hello Arc Garage, do you think buying a metal cage will provide a better fit instead of using the side brackets? I have ordered an unit which comes with the brackets and I am considering buying a metal cage instead of using them.

Hi, it is a generic 100 Euro Android multimedia, and after a short setup the sound quality is amazing. I think it's primarily due to the Bose sound system, in which amplifier sends signal to speakers rather than multimedia...
i watched your other video since i have a 147 and followed the steps but no sound. then i saw this one, with bose which i have on my car. so i might need to follow a combination of these 2 videos. i dont think my 147 has a switched on cable, so might need to do the fuse box trick - and connect switched on cable for android head unit and also amplifier for bose. is this right? thanks!
Yes, you need to do that, and you need to connect the gray wire(if I remember right). It is the one which turns on the amplifier which then sends sound to the speakers... That's why you don't have the sound...
I did it. Success. But my keys are not working. Do u remember the color of the wires from the car? Does it matter which way round key 1 and key 2 goes?
