I'm planning on installing new speakers (MB Quart QSD 216 fronts and QSD 164 rears) with a JL Audio 450/4 to power them. I want a stock look, and was planning on getting the new JL Audio "Clean Sweep" installed too.

My question is, since I'm switching all that out, can I swap the non-Bose headunit with a Bose headunit, while keeping my navigation voice guidance? I know this seems pointless, but I want the 6indash CD option, along with satellite radio. I know there must be some integration with the headunit, so would I need to buy a Bose headunit coming out of a vehicle with nav? or is this swap just not possible at all if I want to keep the voice guidance?

 

I also was looking into this a few years ago, I also want the stock look with navi voice! It is possible...but almost not worth it based on the wiring/cost. I wish I could find that thread.

 

What wiring are you talking about? Some Bose head units must support the navi voice too since there are Z's with Bose and Navi. Then the JL Audio "Clean Sweep" takes the output, equalizes it and then sends the signal to the amp?

 

^ to be honest I have no idea, I just remember the thread where someone supplied a pic on how to do it, and mentioned it was pretty complicated. I'm really a newb when it comes to electronics/wiring, so I took his word for it.

 

let me see if I can find that thread..... this has sparked my interet again.

 

Cool. I'm really interested.
