Default C5 Pac Roem Vet-1 Amp Wire

C5, Aftermarket Deck, Factory Bose Amps-Subs, Front and Rear Speakers

Eincar Android head unit...wiring harness from deck DOES NOT have a blue/white amplifier trigger wire?

How do i get the Bose amps and subs in the doors to turn on with this deck using the Pac Roem Vet-1 interface?

Radio has a blue "Antenna " wire...can i join that blue wire to the Pac blue wire for the amps?

Thanks in advance

Yes, that wire should be good to use.

Thinking this over----If i use the antenna wire, wouldn't the amps only be on when the radio is in use?
If i switch to USB music or similar...would the antenna wire/ amps be turned off because the radio is off.??

I posted this when I installed a Pioneer 8200BT
1. Connect the Metra Harness to the Pioneer Harness. The Metra directions are sparse but the EIA color codes match PERFECTLY to the pioneer wires. These are the wires you connect: a. 8 speaker wires (colors matched exactly), b. Red to Red (accessory power) c. Yellow to Yellow (battery/constant power) d. Black to Black (ground) e. Orange to Orange/White (illumination) f. Blue/White to Blue/White (amp turn on/remote on)

Good Information...doesn't apply to my question though...
> I have the Pac Roem interface...Not Metra
> Head Unit does NOT have a Blue/White wire

Sorry, did not catch that. I think that you will be good to go without the unused wire. Hook it up as is and see what happens.
