Bose system
« on: 28 March 2007, 09:03:48 »
Happy to say that I've just put a deposit down on an s plate elite.  I've phoned Vauxhall to get the original spec which they've emailed to me but it makes very little sense.

I know it hase the Bose system with a tape headunit with the inbuilt phone and a 6 cd changer but I don't know the spec of the system.  Can anyone shed any light on this for me at all on what it looks like, what it does etc.

Thanks guys

Has buttons on the front, sound comes out?  ::) :P














Looks like a standard tape radio.  CD changer is in the boot.

If it has the phone, it will be CCRT700, and have a unique display. It only takes 900Mhz GSM SIMs, so voda or o2.

If not phone, it will be CCR800 with a standard MID.

Both have a 6 disk changer in boot.

Both are quite good with Bose setup.

I know its got the phone so it'll be the CCRT700.  What's the sound quality like on the Bose systems?

Sound quality is quite good for a factory system.  Better that some other cars with Bose, worse than some.  Amp is under the parcel shelf.

Bose equipped CCRT 700? Nice and rather rare!

Damn impressive standard system.

10 speakers including subwoofer on parcel shelf.

Only about 30w rms per channel, but Bose make that seem like quite a bit more.

Trust me, you will love it! :)

Can't wait to get the Bose working in the Elite, and give it a good 'testing'.....   ....obviously with Play on R4 ;)

Sorted my Bose now in the TD. Except one speaker down.  Impressive at reasonable volume ;)

yep ... that's what would have been in my old elite (T reg) ... if the previous owner hadn't ripped out the CCRT700 and bodged the wiring loom to bypass the amp  ::)
... the blaupunkt 6-disc CD changer was still in the boot ...

Yes, that changer was fitted to all mini facelifts that were fitted with CD Changers...

Also noticed; yesterday I was having a play & changed the bass/treble to 0.
Today they're back at +3 which they were originally?

Also the the only way I can switch it off when the ignition is off is pop the front panel off?

OK, I've sussed the bass/treble.
I'd changed the setting to 0 on the radio, the CD is still on +3, still can't get it to switch off without taking the security panel off though...

Not that familiar with the ccrt unit, unlike the earlier car300/400/ccr600/800 units which all operate the same way.  It may be one you may have to look up in manual. Do you have one?  If so, look for On/Off Logic....
