2008 g35 amp install on a stock bose system rem wiring

[rybo917]

I have a 2008 infiniti g35 with the g37 body style and am trying to install an amp to my bose system. I do not know which wire i should splice into to connect my amps rem wire(blue wire) to the preexisiting bose amp. I have done all the other connections and wire running already. Does any have an image, diagram, or any sort of help for wiring this?

Bose systems are poorly documented for us DIY folks. A shop manual should have a schematic. You could probe the Bose amp plug to find the remote turn-on, unless the amp senses a signal.

Metra doesn't have anything neither does Modified Life.

you can buy a "remote turn on module". they are probably like 20 bucks tops. they basically create a remote turn on signal for an amp from a power source and from speaker inputs.

OR if you know your cars wiring well enough (or maybe you can find a diagram for this) you can splice or tap into the 12volt igntion switch on one of the cars accessories. this way your amp will turn on anytime you turn key in the igntition. (the downside of this, is that the amp will stay on ALL THE TIME when your car is on or in the accessories position. which means your amp could be running for long periods of time.)

Some amps like the JL Audio slash aerieshave an auto-turn on feature for high level inputs. You can buy a LOC with the same feature as described above. Both are better options than the ignition wire.
