I'll be willing to give them both a try if someone will make that adaptor loom for 2013's   

FM adaptor loom not required for ANY head unit - all you need is a 12V supply - no connections to head unit or antenna are necessary

Sorry, this is the loom to make my poverty spec CD speak to the 2013 Siemens units.

I used a wired FM modulator in my old Mondeo, worked very well. But the manual switch to cut it in was a pain, be nice if it was auto (which i understand new ones are)

No, the new ones still require a switch, but if you select a frequency that is not interfered with by the radio stations you listen to, you can use the electric aerial output wire to switch it on and control it. May take a bit of experimenting with the radio frequencies, but certainly possible.

Cheers, good to know!

Might have to fit a couple of new speakers myself, passenger front has a bit of fatigue which can be heard at times. Just replacing the stock head unit to Alpine (9854R) in my case made a huge difference.

It's not a bad job. 165mm woofers fit OK with a Corsa mounting frame, a 6mm thick spacer made out of MDF and a bit of bodgery. Plenty of space in the door armrest cavity for a crossover, and you can prise the frame off the OEM tweeters and epoxy it onto new ones so they fit in the same mounting.

Wish I'd taken some pictures now, but the door card 'ain't coming off again.

Speakers made a big difference over the factory fit "cone material courtesy of Kellogg's" jobs.

I always prefered the look and sound of Bose fit, but requirement for Aux in over rulled asthetics.

That will probably consign my 2006 to the junk box soon. 4 CDs just aren't enough.

TB - a question for you regarding the CCR2006 / NCDCXXX

Knowing that not all NON-BOSE variants are able to have BOSE enabled via Tech2, can all of the BOSE-ENABLED ones have the BOSE turned off ?

 :-?

All bosed ones can be set to non bose, with exception of ccr800, which has not amp chip
