Simple question ............

Can you/how do you change a non-Bose one to Bose, or vica versa?

Thanks - Rob

Not a definative answer, but just my observations.

Tech2 is virtually always needed to reprogram the state of teh head unit from Bose to Non-Bose - it CAN be done without, but very complex and the procedure is best avoided.

If a head unit has BOSE screen printed onto the front somewhere, then it is unlikely to be able to be reconfigured to Non-BOSE useage.

If the head unit is a standard one, then there is a 75% chance of toggling between Bose and Non-Bose - but I am unable to define which versions can and cannot be done, its a trial and error one I`m afraid.

Thanks Dave,

Luckily my "spare" one is non-Bose  - but I may need to press it into service.

What's "the worse that can happen" if it isn't converted before I swap it over?

Cheers

It will work, but volume will be errattic and a little uncontrollable, but not the end of the world - you may not achieve the desired volume, and I know you are too sensible to run it at full volume, as that would certainly cause some issues.

no no no no no no ........

AFAIK, all ccrt700 units can be set to Bose or non-Bose, its done via Tech2, as is the country coding.

As long as it's not one of those pesky CCRT700's that cause coms trouble with the Tech 2 (like mine)
