Wont work Dave, its go no Bose label on it.

 

Ah! Now thats where you may be wrong !!

These older models have the old fasioned carbon/ceramic styled rotary volume switches which mean that you have full control of the output levels at low levels. Not ideal, but they do seem to work fairly well with BOSE.

It is the later style radios with the volume knob that "Clicks" as you turn it that causes the problems, as the "digital" output steps are in too great an increment for the Bose amp to interpret correctly.

If you could find an aftermarket stereo that had an old fasioned ceramic volume control, then you would find a fairly successfull solution to the whole BOSE problem.

Me, not seen one for years !

 

I only really remember them, and a can of switch cleaner for when they go noisy.

Im getting on a bit now!

Yep, thats the ones - dissappeared when detachable fascias came in.

But if you could find one, I reckon it may work

for those with Dave's FM modulators, how well do sound? Any noticeable difference between real radio and the modulator?

On a par with the Uphill Gardener (Harmon Kardon) hardwired modulators. Obviously the HK offers the full gayPod thing, but seem to be fragile.  Ask Gayboy Gixer for a demo when you see him.

I have one of Dave DND's, works well enough for my needs, though its clunky to change frequency (dip switches), and poor range of frequencies.  That said, works suprisingly well.

iTrips (for gayPods only, iPhone is piss poor as an MP3 player) also work, but not as well as Dave DND's or HK

Which door Aaron ? I have Bose rear door (and rear shelf) speakers here.No spare fronts though.

Front driver's door, sadly!

Is the rear shelf black? Does it have the blind?

[Shimmy]

Has someone installed DND's modulator and posted a guide for it?  I've never wired anything directly to the car, I'd also like ideas of where to neatly install the modulator.  I have a NCDC 2015 if that helps.

It does have the blind, but its grey.

Guide not really needed as its so simple to fit.

RCA Cable from Modulator to MP3 player - self explanitory

Earth wire - self explanitory

Aerial lead - doesn`t connect to anything

+12V on a switch so you can turn the modulator off and listen to radio

Mount it somewhere in the car - thats it !!

As far as frequency tuning etc, there are some instructions in the box - but basically you can alter the output frequency using dip switches if it causes any harmonics with one of your favourite local stations.

Any questions, all you have to do is ask

Mine was just plugged into the rear lighter socket and left sat on the rear floor for quite a time till I got the frequency about right, now its in the arm rest slid down beside the handbrake lever and wired into the lighter socket. My ipod now lives in the small recess underneath the armrest where the rubber joke cup holder was. 

[Shimmy]

Cheers Dave DND, think I'll buy one of those now.  Already have the correct RCA to 3.5mm cable.

That setup sounds ideal Weds, could I just wire the +12V to a ciggy lighter?

D'oh!

I can throw in a can of matt black spray paint.

Thats all I've done, the cables a bit tight in there but I've just spliced it in.

My FM mod I run via ciggy lighter

Tunnie, no such thing as black blind
