does it work with mazdaspeed 3 with a bose factory amp? I want to get an after market amp and i just wanna make sure if this PAC will work with it

You have to be specific with what year speed 3, but for what it's worth this worked perfectly on my wife's 2008 mazda 3 Grand Touring with the Bose Amp. With this installed you can still use the factory bose speakers/amp and have 4 extra RCA wires to do with what you please (add more speakers, give signal wires to another amp, bypass the crappy Bose amp, etc.)

Don't cheap out and keep the HU if you're putting money into the speakers like that, you'll just ruin the speakers in the long run. As others have noticed, there is too much noise in the PAC units and it's simply not worth it. On top of that, you'll lose your EQ controls in this method since the eq is executed in the infinity amp. Grab a model that does nothing more than keep the factory steering wheel controls and you'll be set.

The way the control works is the after-market radio you are installing has to have a remote-control plug in on the back that will accept a "wired" control module. What the PAC controller does is plug into that "remote control" port and wire into your steering wheel controls. The PAC unit is designed to be sued with a variety of radios but I suggest you go to PAC's website to see what compatible with the radio you want to use. I'm not a stereo installer but I remember when I installed the PAC onto my son's 2008 Mazda 3, PAC had a wiring diagram for his car specifically. You might see if PAC has that same installation guide for your Buick. I hope that helps you with your radio project. Also, my son's stereo is a Pioneer with that "remote control" option.

Sure it'll fit. Just need to find the best place for it. It'll help if you have a friend handy with cars as I did, as for my Mazda 3, it required I put it on jacks, remove the front driver side wheel and air intake assembly to get to the stock horn. As with anything, if there is a will there is a way, and these horns have not let me down. I can describe just how loud these things are.

This is only for aftermarket, it will blow the Bose if you give it more power.

I have 2006 Miata with non bose radio and it works just fine, and i'm pretty sure that 2013 model is not that different. Hope you find it helpful

My very very small rig is two orange micro terror heads running stereo through this cab with my pedal board, and it's awesome. It's definitely loud enough, and has a great tone. Of course you need it for a different setup, so im not positive on how it'll work for your needs. But i hope this helps you with your decision. Good luck to you, and your music.

Depending on your car, there may be a factory or aftermarket input device available. These usually mimic a factory add-on player (CD changer or Minidisc player) and have a stereo mini-plug or RCA jack adaptor. You can search online or via car forums for your car. I've got one for my Mazda.

I own a 2008 2.3 Mazda 3, if the engine on a speed 3 is the same basic engine block then it should work, to be sure I would call your local dealer and ask to speak to a technician.

I don't have a Bose, but it worked very well with my Sherwood AM/FM Stereo Receiver. I live in a fringe area and it brought in my stations like when I lived in the city. Worth every penny I spent on it.

It all depends on your audio system. If you have an auxiliary port it will work. If your audio system has a button for satellite (mine says "SAT"), auxiliary, or for a multi CD changer it will work. If you have a multi CD changer or satellite radio already installed, this cable will have to replace that feature since it uses the same port. I have this installed in a 2006 Mazda 3 and it works fine. However, you must remove the center console and radio in order to install this, so only attempt if you are fairly handy. If you need more advice, let me know.

According to PAC website, yes. It should fit if you have a factory Bose system.

It didnt work on my infiniti m35x. It also didnt work at all on a bose 30 pin home dock. I dont know if it was just broken or just a pos. My phone recognized it but nothing played. So ill try another cheap option. I wouldn't buy it again obviously.

I am sorry, but i haven't tried my Amp yet. Yea i know, i bought it awhile ago but i will try to install it in my car this year. Ps i don't know if it will run on the specifications you wrote, i don't know so much about installing amps or subwoofers so i'll get a friend to install the sound in my car.

Hi, sorry I answered this late. I don't know if this tool will work with Mazda, my husband think it will not, he was told this tool works only on Ford brand, my daughter has a ford focus so it was ordered for ford. Thanks.

No, this unit is specifically for MazdaSpeed3. You can verify with Hypertech.
