Audio Systems/J30 ~ The Bose system, including the power antenna, will not power up

Question
I have an audio problem with my Infiniti J30. The Bose system, including the power antenna, will not power up. No power at all with the whole audio system. I thoroughly checked both fuse boxes and the plugs behind the head unit I found the cigarette lighter fuse blown, and the rear left speaker unplugged. I replaced the fuse and plugged the speaker in, and still no power.  Any suggestions while I have most of the carpet kit up?   Do you know the pin~out, or at least which wires I can check for power and ground to the head unit, amp, and power antenna.

I also read something about the Ignition lock cylinder on the J30 having a "audio system specific" switch or button built into the lock cylinder, and thbat if the key, for whatever reason wasn't throwing the switch, the audio system wouldn't power up.  Know anything about that off the hook piece of information????????

I appreciate your assistance, and have a great Memorial Day.
