The premium sound system uses a completely different cabin harness where the speakers are routed to the back (for the amp or built in parcel shelf amp, depending on year) rather then the front (for the head unit unless you have a 2001-2004 car which goes to both), so the short answer is no.

If you want to get a feed from both the driver and passenger side, front or back,then it will be easiest to take it from the CA230 connector at the front of the car. It is a blue connector 16 waylocated in the LH lower A pillar behind the plastic trim piece that comes up from under the door. You'll need to take the door base piece off first, then there are two little clips just above and below the hood release level so get your fingers behind and give it a firm tug. The connector is one of 8 in a black plastic mount just behind that. For the cables you want it depends on year:

2001-2004
LHS rear white/blue (+)and yellow blue (-)
RHS rear white/green (+) and yellow/red (-)

2004 onwards
LHS rear white/green (+) and yellow/red (-)
RHS read white/blue (+) and yellow/blue (-)

Yep - they reversed the colours. Thankfully the pins are still the same though so if you check the numbers on the back of the connectors they are pins 7/8 and9/10 respectively.

 

How's the sound quality? When I hooked mine up in my truck using the converter made everything sound like crap forcing me to get the aftermarket radio in stat! You need info. as to where to get the mounting kit and wires or no???

 

before i got my nav, i had the line out converter installed rite under the stock unit. The guys that installed it split in to a wire under there and connected it. This way i cud adjust the power for the subs by adjusting the fade on the left rear speaker and there is space for the converter under there. Then all you do is run the wires to the back and ure set.

 

Man I hate it when cars rattle and what not from not only road imperfections but bass as well!

 

I think that if you put Dynomat on the trunk, it should help! I think that's the name, but I'll confirm later!

 

yeah thats it but its pretty expensive...I wanted to look into the new spray stuff that they've got instead...not sure the price though...I'd imagine pretty high though!

 

Well, the way you guys talk it appears there is no bottom to your pockets.

 

Yeah I wish! I think the ones with that are our elders on this site! Jim sounds like he's having fun as well as Buck! Italy this week France the next when are they coming to the good old USA?

 

Well, I know if I ever go by your area, I know I'd love to meet up with ya, and if...I mean when I go to Europe, I'll want to meet up with them!

 

Yeah I know it'd be sweet!

 

Maybe when I'm filthy rich, we can schedule an international meet amongst the big cahunas of the site!

 

I'll hold ya to it!

 

So its set, a big international meet in about 25 years when we mite be able to afford it. Hopefully my X is still running then lol

 

Hey guys...............any of you get over here on vacation.........you be sure to let me know.........I'd be only too happy to meet you, have a few beers and show you the sights.
Maybe even let you run around in the X for a few days just so you feel at home.......lol

Yeah I second that one! Well have to make sure we don't go the same week though biggie!

 

Well, maybe if I went a day before you left, or you went a day before I left, so that we could all take a pic!
