Title: CCRT 2008 BOSE upgrade ?
Post by: benko5009 on 29 February 2016, 11:52:46

Hi,

Is it possible to upgrade my CCRT 2008 BOSE headunit with the help of GMOS-04 ?
Are there any headunit to replace ?

Omega Sedan 3,2 V6 Automatic
The audio:
BOSE system with Philips CCRT 2008 Head unit AM FM GSM

Anyway, I'd like to keep the GSM possibility.

Thank you,

Balazs

To put in a non BOSE headunit, you will need to replace the amp and the speakers.

Seems it's hopeless..

Is GMOS-04 usable only for US made vehicles ?

From the description:
"Connect a new car stereo and retain OnStar®, the audible safety warnings and chimes, and the Bose® audio system in select GM vehicles"

Aa You say, its (and the many other so called adapters) are for the US General Motors market and Model specific, not the same.

The GSM phone feature, all the trickery gubbins is inside the 2008 HU and its unique Display.
