I've been using my Android phone which is interfaced into my factory Bose head unit for more than a year now. I'm very happy with using this for 100% for all my listening needs.
I plan to use the SoS wire harness or build one myself if i'm not too lazy but what are the rear RCA inputs for? What happens if I don't use this? If they're needed to power that dinky rear center speaker then can I simply bridge this to just have a L/R RCA inputs? Does the factory unit have built in gain adjustments so the rears don't come thru too loud?
Any thoughts would be great!
Here's why i'm going this route if anyone's interested.
* Save weight by getting rid of the factory headunit
* Use the space in the center console for gauges to support FI
* AM/FM, Pandora et al, Bluetooth, Navigation, etc available from my Android with sound thru factory speakers
