  • s4 stereoizzo

    Okay so i'm installing my headunit into the S4 while I wait on powar parts to arrive

    so metra has the harnesses for bose
    anyways.. why the F would they include 4 sets of RCAs and then say only use 2?? i guess the harness must work with other brands
    they say use the green/purp rcas for rear speakers but then let the deck power the fronts
    then i see stuff on audizine where guys use the front RCAs.. i'm not sure on that part

    then they say.. plug the blue spare cable 'above the yellow' on the main harness for power to the antenna.. WTF.. they don't have a picture of where to plug it.. so stupid

    anyways so i was getting it all prepared to solder tonight but need to build or order the pioneer bypass relay setup

    so from my pioneer harness there is the amp turn on wire which then will connect to the harness's amp turn on which then will also tie to the antenna power on and the video bypass relay LOL

    sounds confusing

    anyone every do thier own install in thier B5?

    brent helped me in the past with my serveral jetta stereos but it seems pretty straight forward

    the only other question is on the audi harnesses the ones that will fit into the main black metra harness.. one audi one is black and one is brown
    which ones go top or bottom?? i'm sure i can figure it out but thought someone may know

    thx

    It should be keyed, so hopefully it only can fit one way.

      correct i just found the pinout since i chucked my old bose LOL.. and yea they have different nubbies on the ends so that makes sense

      just need to confirm if i should use pioneer to power the front speakers or the bose setup which the factory does

      stupid metra!

              are you comparing robotics to car stereos? that would make futureshop employees rocket scientists.

                No I think he is referring to the ease of use of the new EZ-Board.
