The std MV6 radio - cdr2005 is not boseable. Many MV6 have ccr2006, the majority of these can be set to bose via tech2.

Be carefull though....I have a Sony Xplod running through the BOSE speakers and I had to change those in the doors. They aren't all that powerfull in reality and after a month or so...they started to play up with the Sony...They aren't man enough basically with a good aftermarket head unit it would appear..

Not planning on changing the head unit duggs,but was thinking of connecting some rca outputs to it with a single sub an amp in the boot,and turning all the bass of the door speakers.Dont think ill bother with the bose then anyway,probably best to whip it all out and sell it on. ;)

Another question :D,when i rip the loom out,does that mean it runs into each door to connect to the speakers or is it just direct from the boot to kick panel. :-/

Totaly agree - Bose in the Elite is much better than the stereo in the MV6.

Indeed it is, (mini facelift). With help from a certain ex member my MV6 was upgraded to bose & loads better for it. The original would pop speakers as did my old 2.5 cd. The Bose can take full pelt without popping or distortion but it is a bigger job than head units & speakers which is why we did it when fitting the recaro leather as all the wiring needs changing for the cd changer, amp etc.
    Some say bose is'nt the best & if you go aftermarket you can get much louder & more bass but for me i'm happy with Elite sounds in my MV6, Bose have a certain clarity to them & you retain your dash display & steering wheel controls. :y

Not all CCR2006 can be set to Bose - there are 2 main revisions, but not possible to tell which you have. Needs a Tech2 to convert to Bose, so probably better getting HU as well.

You need:
Possibly HU?
loom from HU to kick panel
loom from kick panel to shelf
shelf
6 main bose speakers (4 door, and either 2 parcel shelf subs (saloon) or the double sub (estate))
bose amp

I would say its more likely the crappy Sony wasn't man enough ;)

The Bose speakers are too low impedence for the Sony.
