simple answer is "yes". The entire Bose system sucks.

In Bose equipped cars (in general not Z specific) replacing the headunit can yield some decent results. But to get anything worthwhile you really need to replace it all...guess that really depends on how much of an audiophile you are. I personally have just kept the stock system as I don't see the investment as worthwhile...esp when I read the posts noting "My stereo got stolen, and my window got smashed..." that **** is depressing, and would likely send me into a killing spree which wouldn't be good....so I just kept the stock crap.

Pathetic part is my wife's 08 Scion tC has a 300x better stereo than my Z which ran 2x the money new to new.
