97 jetta glx bose premium sound system: aftermarket deck help?

Nov 07, 2006 5 Replies

as stated, i bought a 97 glx with the premium bose system in it. it has the preinstalled amp in the trunk. i hooked up my aftermarket sony deck with the harness. it powered up, played the music, but no noise came out. someone told me if i attempt to bypass the amp or something, it should work. i dont only want to change the deck, i have an aftermarket amp and subs plus 6 speakers i want to change. i figure if i can change the deck without rewiring the car, the speakers should be easy like the previous jettas i have had (cut the clips off, take the four wires into two and put the little clips on them to go onto the speakers themselves.) is there some sort of aftermarket harness to plug into the deck or amp in the trunk that will make it so i can do this all without rewiring the car?



i forgot to mention, there is a cd changer in the trunk. i dont need that but the info might be useful.

someone sent me this link and said it should work. will it?
