As I said I do have the ******** harness so for ease of integration Ill probably just plug that in and use the front rca jacks.

Thats funny I was also contemplating how to get the beep to the center channel.

Why cant we again take the high level outputs from the radio and wire those to the center channel. Only problem is we have to run wires from back of car to center channel or remove radio and tap into wires up front.

Sweet Synergy, using the sub thump harness is fine, that would be lo-level inputs. Or you could just solder rcas directly to the factory amp location on the x3 harness and save $50.

The radio outputs a lo-level signal (rca) and then the boston acoustics amp outputs a high level signal to the speakers. I think it would work to just connect the rear lo-level signals from the radio directly to the center channel, but the audio levels may be a little low i think. The center channel wire can be accessed in the trunk at the factory amp, so there would be no need to run wires to the radio or directly to the center channel. I have been reading that with the right tuning the center channel does make a difference, but I would feel stupid having rear park assistance in the bumpers that doesnt work...
