2004 RL OEM Head Unit Signal
So I am about to start my full stereo rebuild, removing all of the BOSE equipment, but keeping the OEM Head Unit and Nav. From everything that I have seen the OEM HU in the 2004 sends a 4 channel signal to the BOSE amp. What I need to know is if this 4 channel signal is flat, ie, does the factory HU do any processing? I am trying to determine if I need a fancy summing interface or if I can get by with the line output converter thats built into my Audiocontrol EQX.
Thanks for your help!

You'll probably need one of these:

I'm fairly certain the head unit doesnt do the processing on the '04, I'll need to go through the tech manual to make sure.

Find out Ken. I was under the impression that it was done by the headunit.
Ive already purchased a cleansweap, but my system install (while having all the parts) has been delayed because of lazyness on my part. lol

Looks like you and I are in the same boat. I went ahead and purchased a cleansweep also. I will still use my Audiocontrol EQX after the cleansweep. I also like it because it gives me a aux input.

For future reference: I'm pretty sure all processing is done in the head unit itself. I know in my '99 it sends out 4 channels of balanced audio but I don't see any I/O dedicated to sound processing. also, I'm running a gutted head unit and only sending the audio signals and power switch to the amp and it does fine. Looking over the service manual I see no reason to believe the '04 is any different in terms of operational method (though the terminal pinouts are certainly different)
