has anyone used an interface for bose system from another model on 05-09 RL?
I'm thinking about a tablet using metra/scosche stereo harness to connect to factory bose amp through a preamp

its the blue plug I would assume same as other models with bose system?

 

which car has bose system similar to 05 RL?
I want to install the aftermarket indash and use factory bose amp retaining the ANC feature if possible

 

Hello, i moved this to the 2nd gen RL audio section, hopefully you get some answers

 

thats not gonna help me much

 

Unfortunately with such a low production number and not many people experimenting with a car that has such complex electronics, it's going to be hard to find anyone on the boards who has tinkered with the audio system. Your best bet is to PM user Carbon Legend and ask him directly. He did my headlight retrofit, he's super knowledgeable about the RL audio system and he's super friendly. That would be to your best bet, since he's the only person I know of who has done extensive audio work on the 2G RL.

 

thats why i posted in general electronics.
im asking about other cars that have bose system
so i can use metra/scosche wire harness to integrate with factory amp

 

reach out to crutchfield.com to see if they can help.

 

The Bose system is not really unique. You can intercept the signals before or after just like any other car. If you are going to change anything in the audio system, you should just bypass the Bose amp. It will cause you more headache than help.

The biggest issue is how the RL audio system, climate control, and nav integrate into the display. Second biggest issue is that the head unit contains stereo and nav built into a single piece. It's not a modular setup like lower end cars.

 

nav and stereo is ok
im taking apart the indash
mount the screen in the place of the cd changer unit
hopefully keeping the heater controls

or using a heater control unit from another honda that has a built in screen

 

i did intercept the signal before the amp but i have no volume control. can anyone help me. i just want to add an anmp to run all the door speaker. and leave everything else factory. is this possible

 

i belive the actual audio signal to amp is analog but all the controls are digital since i think the actual dsp is built into the amp
so theres really no way to interface it
acura did this on purpose
the pretry much cut any possible options
they even made the dash slightly smaller than din size
