will a 2003 acura TL bose radio fit on a 1999 TL?

 

I might be wrong... Why bother?? Their the same... At least mine and a friends is anyway... Maybe a difference is a 6 CD Changer....

 

yeah..thats exactly the difference

 

It's a 6 disc in dash changer and some 1999-2001 Bose HeadUnits have trouble playing CDRs. Those are good reasons to change.

You guys didn't help with his answer either, let him decide what he wants.

Yes 02-03 TL HeadUnit will fit in the 99-01 TL. However the 01+ CL HU which look like the 02-03 TL will NOT work. SO make sure you get the right one.

Get the 02-03 HU only if you get a good deal (~300) like on ebay. If it cost more, I would suggest a Blitzsafe adapter along with a 6 disc CD/MP3 changer that supports Blitzsafe, which works with the stock HU. Total cost is around 300-400 (not including install). you can still use the steering wheel control also.

 

... the '03 headunits also play burned CD-R's better as well

 

my 01 plays cd-rs

 

Mine plays cdrs too after I had my HU replaced underwarranty.

 

Yes the 03 radio will fit in to a 99, i did it myself and i love the radio. My reason for changing the radio is the original radio did not play CDR's. I paid 200 for the new radio from a friend...
