You got the CDC2 for CCRT700 (different to CDC2 for CCR600)?  Did Bose loom come from ccrt700 car?

In fact, to be honest, if you don't want phone, use a CCR800 instead! Much easier!

Its a bit more involved than that. If you can wait a while, I'm doing a guide.

Plenty of CCR800s about, and a much easier retrofit.

How good is the BOSE set up from an elite saloon and what should be included in a full kit.

What sort of price do they usually go for.

Cheers

I can't stand the sound of Bose, something just not right about it. Think you you can much, much better with less hassle from different manufacturers....Both in-car and in your home...

Yet to hear a Bose sound I'm happy with in the home.

Can't speak for other cars, but in both my Omegas, its clear, defined, not over bassed, and reasonable volume levels achievable.

There undoubtedly are better sounding systems out there - not heard one, as all Car Audio shops seem to think more bass is some kind of peniile extension to a spotty chav - but I prefer the 'factory fit' look.  Yet to see an aftermarket system that looks anything less than chav, esp with most having distracting animated displays. Yeah, that'll impress the girls. Not. Unless her name is Mercedes.

There seem to be this myth that non-Bose incar aftermarket equipment = excess bass = chav

Common guys stay objective and balanced you know it yourself that it is pure nonsense...Since when is the church organ player comparable with a chav? About as deep bass as you can get if you know your stuff! But anyway it is not about bass, it is about sound quality.....And in my experience that does not go together with Bose....Sounds great until you hear what it really can sound like....Just like with anything in live, it is all about a reference and experience...

Alas, you need to try to try persuading the manufacturers that.  As it stands, most 'digitally enhance' and 'bass boost' and other such gay marketing terms, all destroying the original sound.

As I said, there are better systems out there. Not many, but there are. Then, of course, you lose the factory fit look.

Well I'm happy with the Bose+CCRT700 system in my Elite.

and as an audio engineer,  I get to hear what stuff ACTUALLY sounds like, for a living... not what "It CAN sound like"

as a factory fit system, there are very few to really do significantly better, especially given the acoustic vagaries of the car as a listening space...

I have at a mastering engineer friend who went out and bought a Miggy-Elite after he'd heard the bose system in my old one...   because

"I could actually bear to listen to it and not spend my time mentally critiquing it's faults, but actually enjoy the music. !"

it's capable of a large enough clean dynamic range to listen to the Foo-fighters latest album without missing anything... and without wincing on the louder transients....  likewise the Berlin Phil performing Mahler....

so that makes it fine in my book.

Is the shelf the dark grey one and will I need anything else to fit it or is it a case of plug and play.
