fek sake, why do people insist on fitting chav-me JVC units to replace the OEM Bose units  >:(

I know DaveDND does not like Bose, but i doubt even him would prefer that JVC unit  ;D

Seats don't look right for Elite cloth either  :-/

Maybe because it sounds better? I have a JVC in my omega and its 10x better than what came out, although it is a proper double din unit and black, so it look better than silver, why people slag off sony and jvc I'll never know, they are a lot better than the factory fitted stereo, the only problem I have is stopping all the crappy plastic bits in the facelift from vibrating :o

I think Bose in the saloon sounds really good, no doubt its an old system (waits for crys of pain from DaveDND  ;D)

Its a nice full round, and clear sound, combined with the OEM look. That JVC unit looks very wrong in that dash

I think the Bose system sounds nice too, i tend to play rock/metal music and it sounds great, even at quite loud volumes :)

The trouble is, to replace it, you really need to replace all the speakers, add an amp and a decent head unit, then install it all, and for that you are looking at £1k plus to do it properly, and would you notice that much difference?

At home yes, or maybe sitting on your drive with no wind noise, but when actually driving i honestly dont think you would (and i love my hifi, i have Arcam stuff at home)

I've got a full cinema surround 7" flip out unit in mine. It has digital tv, reversing camera, I can stream music through Bluetooth on my phone, It will also take Sat Nav and the sound (Especially when using Dolby) is amazing in the car. When I'm done, it just folds away. £100 from ebay!

I do think to Bose kit is good in the Omega, however the biggest problem is who uses CD's anymore?

You want an mp3 cd player. Can fit a 100+ mp3s on one CD then.

Mines no longer got the Bose fitted, but thats another story as its got a full blown pc in the boot with a touchscreen in the dash!  :P
