It wont play through all of the speakers and the volume changes dramatically with each click of the dial, makes the odd sort of feedback noise now and then so I'm guessing he has messed about with one from another car (as car pass code would suggest) the removable h/u section does not fit properly, wont go back flush with the rest of the surround, just seems to me like its the wrong one.....

Have you checked that part of the loom is not stopping it from slotting fully home?  ???

What sort of money is a reasonable price for a Bose CCR2006 if one can be found?[I'm after one as mines packed up]don't really want to be ripping out wiring/sourcing new speakers to fit a different hu if I can help it,but if they're too pricey that's what I'll do and fit my single din Blaupunkt and 10 disc changer instead[not too fussed about steering wheel controls or display on mid]

Why dont you ask RobseyMV6 is breaking a 2.6 and 3.2 Elite in the Sale section, one of them has probably got a Bose CCr2006 HU in it.

if it has Bose speakers you'll need to change them as they are not compatible with "standard" car audio.

 .... And fit a loopback connector at the kick panel plug after you have unplugged and ideally removed the Bose loom.

If it was a Bose equipped car and you changed to a non Bose or third party head unit you will need to change the 2 ohm speakers to 4 ohm and unplug the Bose loom from the multi plug behind the drivers kick panel then fit a loopback wired multi plug - this effectively loops the speaker outputs from the head unit back to the speakers whereas when the Bose loom is plugged in it takes the Bose level output from the head unit to the Bose Amp then back from the Bose amp to the speakers - it puts the Bose amp in the middle from a wiring point of view.

Ok I have some more info, the volume does not respond at all now and its loud, when turned on it does not display BOSE on the multi display, which as it happens is a 4 line display, does this shed any more light on whether the dealer threw in the wrong h/u ?

Thanks in advance for your patience, I really want to get this sorted as I need to have a working sound system as I am a musician and have to listen to lots of new material to familiarise with and its a great time to do that on the road as I don't get distracted by the usual stuff at home  ::)

I would suggest[though I stand to be corrected on this] that as it doesn't display the word "Bose" on the dash display when you turn it on and given your volume woes that your hu is a non bose version,although I believe some can be programmed to become bose[again could be wrong]but I don't know how you tell which ones can be altered.

I *think* the 'Bose Sound' briefly on the display is due to screen programming, not HU, and even then, not all Bose equipped screens do it.

Ok I have removed the face from the h/u and there is a sticker with barcode on it displaying the info as follows...

OPEL 3112 328 54213

Barcode- 002566

Does this tell if it is Bose version or not ?
