just did a z2 install, the CA-R-PI.131 adapter generates a VSS, reverse and illumin. signal, as well as enabling your steering wheel controls. Makes the install a lot easier.

for face lifted models (2005) you need the CA-R-PI.133, if you have the bose system you need to run new wires to the speakers.

yes if your car has HK or BOSE sound system u will have to bypass your AMP i expalined how to do it in the thread above.

YOu dont have to run wires to the Speakers but to the REar of the car where the AMP is then connect the wires to the Existing Speaker wires.
