hey guys, i may eventually be picking one of these up very soon for a bargain price, have had a quick search cant seem to find what im looking for, the car itself is a single din HU but apparantly according to the seller its a Bose set up, can the HU just be removed and replaced or is there alot more to it??
-
If your putting a non Bose HU in, then you have to remove all the speakers/amp etc and re-fit non Bose gear.
PM Dave DND, he's the expert and will explain in detail why you need to :y

I'd see how you get on with it before looking to rip it out.
Actually sounds quite good - for its age, but wont play ipod/mp3s.
-
hmm thats put me off slightly, i dont own any cds any more as everything is mp3, so i need to find a omega with a none bose HU then i guess?
Plus whats the model of the bose HU?
-
If it's a '99 then it could be one of 2 models:
CCRT700 - having a built in phone (just add SIM)
CCR800
Depends on when the car was registered TBH, but if it's a '99 model then will be the CCRT700.
You could use an FM modulator maybe?

Not that difficult to 'disable' the bose in those cars, but you will need to replace all the speakers, and get a non bose CD changer loom from a breaker here. Then just change the HU.
If you fancy more of a challenge, you can remove all the bose stuff, and sell it (amp, speakers, shelf etc).
