Subject: Re: Head unit replacement requirements? by vis_croceus on 2008/1/6 19:09:05 It doesn't make any sense to put in a HU without new speakers in these cars, especially if you have Bose. If you have non-Bose and you insist on keeping the factory speakers, then you will need to: - extend the antenna cable from the rear storage compartment to the HU. - run new speaker wire from the HU to all the speakers (or you could extend the factory speaker wire from the rear storage compt but that would be just plain silly - find appropriate sources in the dash for power, or extend the power from the rear storage compt (again that would be silly...) - perform the necessary mod to prevent the SYS light from flashing (see FAQ) If you have Bose, then you also will need line level converters to convert the line-out from your HU to an appropriate level for the Bose amps. |
