PAC ROEMVET1 wiring problem
Guys I just took the double DIN out of my car in favor of a regular head unit with a USB connection.
Well when I was looking at all my connectors I noticed they sniped the plastic connector for the bose amp wiring and it wasn't hooked up hence why I had no bass when I unplugged my subwoofer.
I looked at the wiring diagrams on the stickies but still need some help.
There are four wires on the ROEM wiring harness that are suppose to connect to the bose one I'm simply going to splice the wires from the factory side since it's no long plug and play.
My question is which wires are what on the factory side? on the ROEM side the four wires are as follows.
WHITE- LF Positive which would connect to?
GRAY- RF Postive
GRAY/BLK- RF Negative
BLK/WHITE- AMP GROUND
Thanks for help in advance.

Looks like you found C5 Prints
The 'remote amp turn on' wire from the new HU needs to be connected to the dark green wire that would have been at pin 8 of C1.
You need to connect LINE-LEVEL outputs (RCA connectors) from new HU to L/R Fr/Rr low-level inputs to the Bose Signal Processor (it will split out low freq signals for subs).
Run 4 new speaker wires from HU to door and rear twiddlers. While in there, I'd replace them with aftermarket 2-ways. C5 BearsFan has a great deal on good speakers that sound tons better than oem.
If I understand your problem, that should get you listening to music

Does that mean you removed an old aftermarket unit and are installing another one, or did you just remove an oem unit that was spliced in to your car?

Why would I have to run new wires? All the wires are still there I just need to slice them into the side of the ROEM vet1 that's suppose to connect into the factory bose amp connector but has been cut.

OK. You should be able to line up wires on ROEM plug with oem wires based on the prints. (before you cut off the plug, look at which wire is where and match it to proper wire using oem plug pinouts)
--OR--
Use the same wires on your new HU as the one you just removed for power and front/rear speakers.
In addition to that, in order to get the door subs functioning you'll need to supply the subs with a line-level signal (RCA's on new HU), and you'll need to connect the amp remote trigger to dark green wire so they power up.
