I've read the problem may be isolated to to early VIN numbers. So if I get a touring later this year / early next year, will I have to worry about the Bose still?

 

my thoughts are that the problem is very recently fixed, and they have probably corrected it in the factory by now, but there will still be cars for a month or so that were built prior to the fix. the dealers might automaticly correct them tho.

but if your not getting one for a month or more, theres a good chance yours will be fine.

 

The TSB states basically states the problem could exist if:

1. It was produced before Sept. 27
2. Before VIN# T005616
3. Before VIN# T104720

So it will all depend where your car fits into the above guidelines.

My Bose seems to be improving some. I don't know maybe it's breaking in too.

 

is it getting better, or have you been listening to CDs? I use CDs not to get around it, and suprisingly it works well, as I drive it gets louder and softer when I stop. I like it, as long as the whole thing gets louder and not just the bass.

 

I usually listen to the radio on my short 6mi drive to work. It used to get REALLY boomy but doesn't seem to do that as often lately. Yes it gets louder & softer (bass & volume) as you described but at times I find it annoying.

I play cd's when I'm on longer drives...along the twisties along the coast Cd's and tape have always sounded good.

I plan to follow the test procedure as described in the TSB this weekend to see if I "qualify" for a new amp.
