Hi Pete,
No idea about the Breakers for Bose bits, but I would imaging from a Breakers point of view any bits with a Bose label on, it gets offered down the Pub first followed by eBay.
There’s not much second hand Bose stuff around for Face Lifts (double Din), most of its all single Din, but that’s not to say the pre Face Lift speakers, Amp and Looms would not fit.
Theirs some guys on eBay that do a iPod interface unit for Bose Head units, it plugs into the external CD changer and displays your iPod info on the MID display whilst allowing you to use the Steering Controls to control your iPod, I would imaging you would lose your CD player but that’s no big deal if your iPoding anyway, I would have thought. If you want I try and track their details down.
Rear Subs in the rear door of the Estate no haven’t seen it before just an idea I had for the Bose Subs as I want the car to look pretty much as standard as possible.
Some one told me that the double Din Siemens NCDC head units go into Bose Mode if you if you connect one the rear pins to High (i.e., it goes from Speaker Out to Pre-amp Out for the Bose Amp), but I don’t have any other info than that as far as that one goes.
Cheers Chris
