My Non bose headunit is not working as it should, It wont eject the Damm CD, it just clicks and clicks. But my question is will I be able to install a Bose h/u as a plug and play and since my car is an 03 will I need that specific year aswell?

Thanks

 

You will NOT be able to install the BOSE headunit without all of the accompanying pieces (i.e. speakers, amp, sub, etc) because the BOSE is a whole system and one piece will not work without all of the others.

On a side note, I have my OE non-BOSE headunit from my 2003 if you need one. PM me if you are interested. It's clean, in great shape, everything worked perfectly when I removed it, and I think I left a cd in it when I removed it (bonus for you ).

 

Yea I know, but I already have installed aftermarket subs, amps and speakers and I like the clean look of the stock unit. Im more into performance than int. looks anyways.

 

Interested how much and what color is the unit?

Thanks,

 

Bump for a stock Non bose h/u.....

 

how long are you willing to wait? i have a bose stock headunit and will be gettting an aftermarket cd player next week. let me know if your still interested

 

Well I wouldnt mind BUT from what Ive been told Im unable to use the BOSE unit since my car didnt come with it......

 

Did you mean to say BASE or BOSE since you also have an Eth. model?

 

hey i have 06 none-bose headunit for sale taken out at 2000 miles..
brand new look..
it looks little diff than 03 ones but its same size i think..

 

Can you confirm it will work and fit, also what color is it?

Thanks,

 

Zboostin,,,,the 06 non-bose OEM headunit will not fit in your 03. The headunit design changed starting in 06. I dont know exactly the changes,,but it has something to do with the corners being more round and such. That is why the dash kits for after market headunits are made for 03-05 and 06 and up. Maybe someone here will chime in and give more detail as to the changes.

 

You can use the bose HU and a line output adapter [if necessary, PAC] to your aftermarket amps.
The 03 units are titanium in color. From 04 they are black.
To use the 06 + units you must change the center dash.

 

I have an 04 non bose HU name ur price, and I'll see.
Or buy this guys HU, haha LINK

 

^I need it to be for an 03 since the color for the 04 is black and my int. is titanium in color.

 

I have not tried it but I am certain you can get a line converter for the Bose if your amplifier does not accomodate it...
I have been meaning to do it but never had the time..
I have a track model and have the Bose to install...but now I am replacing the interior with 07 components..
looking to trade my 03 Bose or regular HU for 06-07 Bose unit..

 

How much for your 03 Bose H/U, and as of now I havnt installed my aftermarket subs and amps so will it still work? If so what is exactly the parts that I'll need?

Thanks,

 

The Bose HU has line output.
The sound level will be very low with the stock OEM speakers.
Amp is necessary
You can get line output converters from CCity.BBuy

bose hu will cost ~100

 

Well if the BOSE head has line level outputs, why would there be a need for a line output converter?
