Well, I just got my CL, and I have been doing audio for 3 years now. Both my Explorer, and my Durango had Infinity amps that had to be taken care of.

In both my last cars, I had aftermarket amplifiers installed, so there was no need to bypass factory amps, as the speaker wire from my head units were never even connected. (RCA's ftw)

I've never done work on anything with a Bose system, and at the moment, I do not have much time to install my aftermarket amps (eventually, I will be rewiring the whole car)

So my question is, (beside taking apart my center console).

What do i need to do to get an aftermarket head unit to work with the stock Bose system. I'm sure a wiring harness is available to make this work, i havent really explored it too much though.

(I will be doing all the work myself)

Thanks for your help.

 

This thread has all the info you need....

The short answer is that you'll need a harness, BOSE integration module and a steering wheel button interface to make everything peachy.

 

Thanks for the quick response, doesnt seem too hard. I really like those D3's but I don't really need Navi.

Any recommendations for a good double din with all the features of the D3 without the navi? lol

 

Absolutely. The Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD is a good unit. I also like the Kenwood DDX screens. The Pioneer would be my first pick though.
