Good idea? or is it even possible?

My 04 bose system has problems and cuts out one channel only on cd, so I assume it is the head unit as it doesn't do it on radio so I was thinking of getting the 06 head unit, but is it possible to install?

I understand that I have to use the 06 heater controls, and does anyone know if those work as well?

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I may go dd bu then I need to find a dash kit, anyone have a used one or can point me to a place to get it cheap or at least cheaper than retail?

Thanks,

Adam

 

The 05-07 headunits won't fit in the 03-04 cars. The dash is different and so are the button locations. Buy a used 03-04 Bose HU.

 

yup theyre different. if youre out of warranty, get a used bose headunit. if you are in warranty still, they will fix it for free. ive gone through two already.

 

I have my 04 HU for sale with black finisher.

PM me if your interested.

 

I've got an 03 unit with everything....inc speaks, amp, and unit guts. $200 shipped.

 

I want to put in the complete dash piece with the new style *****, so i wanted to know if everything will fit in terms of the wiring. So has anyone converted to the new style stereo? I kind of like the ***** better than the buttons.

Thanks guys.

 

what **** are you talking about?

That means putting in a complete dash and information center, and who knows what else. The trim pieces are not interchangable like that.

 

So you can't change the whole center console area? it looks very similar.

 

But it isn't.

 

I did so more research and it looks to difficult for what i'm trying to achieve, thanks for all your help. So now I'm looking for a dash kit to fit a dd, does anyone have one for sale? or know where to get one?

or just google jdm dash kit

 

How easy does the centre console come out? I have to replace my HU.

 

^ A lot of people have done it.
