my radio doesnt say bose nor does it have the tape player

but i have bose sub in the back....

do i have bose? im asking this because i want to buy the bose 6 cd changer to swap out my single cd radio....

 

The true Bose system only had one sub, not "subs".

Is it a Touring model Z? That was the only one that came with the Bose system.

 

im not sure what model mine is.....

it doesnt have leather nor does it have electric seats
i think its a base model
but its got a bose sub in the back.....
its confusing me...

 

Dr., How do you know you have a "bose sub in the back"?

If you can show us a picture or a good description of your "bose sub in the back," we can probably help you.

A touring model would definitely have power leather seats. I guess somebody could have mounted the Bose sub behind the drivers seat, but I'm not sure why they would go through the trouble. The Bose system is not that good.

Can you tell if there is an aftermarket amplifier mounted anywhere, like under a seat?

The bose headunit should have the name on the opening for the cassette deck.

 

i know i have a sub behind the driver seat...
so it could be non-bose!?!??! non bose systems have a sub in the back of the driver seat?

im confused because my car was bought used and it was an import from the USA (im in europe now)
and i do not see any amplifier under the seat....
i think the grill on the sub says bose. i'll have to check tomorrow...

 

That would be a good place to start. The 04' non-Bose sounds like ***, the Bose sounds pretty good. It should be that obvious.

 

I would not even bother buying the bose 6 cd changer, they are junk. My CDs would skip if it was cold outside, heard of a lot of other people having that same problem.

 

Holy **** so thats the problem! Lol yeah thats what they ****ing do skip when its freezing...oh well

 

I’m guessing, but I’m pretty sure you do not have an OEM Bose system in your car. Here is why I say this:

Re:> “I think it’s a base model.”
I don’t believe the OEM Bose upgrade was available for the 2004 Base Model.

Re:> “I think the grill on the sub says bose. i’’ll have to check it tomorrow”.
The logo on the grill behind your driver’s seat may not correspond to the SubW you have mounted there. That’s simply because many people use the OEM Bose speaker grill and panel behind the driver’s seat to mount/cover aftermarket SubW installations.

To discover if you have the Bose system in your car, remove the cover behind the driver’s seat, and examine the SubW. It’s probably an aftermarket speaker.

is there anyway to check if my was base or track using vin number?

 

i have bose and its the worst

 

Nope - no model info in the VIN. A dealer or Nissan North America could look it up in their system and tell you that way.

 

if you have cruise control it's not a base

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Bose systems in the 350z all 6 disc? I bought my 350z used, and it came with the non-Bose CD player (single disc) and it had the Bose grill behind the driver's seat. However what they had done was wire an aftermarket amp and JL subwoofer to the stock CD player and install a Bose grill over the aftermarket sub. I'm betting something similar was done to your car. I have since upgraded to a JVC KW-AVX820 and the subwoofer sounds MUCH better now, along with the sound as a whole.

 

Just because you have a non-base model car does not mean you have a Bose sound system though... I have an Enthusiast model and my car did not come with a Bose system.

 

doesnt it say bose on the headunit?

 

Here is what the Bose head unit looks like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...fAudioQ5fVideo

 

so..... can i put in the bose 6cd mp3 player into my car (if its not a bose system)?

thats my question as i want to retain the factory look.
