Nope, none Bose 6 speaker. It would work with the Bose unit too with a bit more effort.

I recently installed a Pioneer NEX 1330 with Apply Car Play and love it. Got tired of the factory radio starting at the first song on on my iPod every time I restarted the car and taking forever to load. Currently working on a 3-way active front stage with a JL TwK DSP. https://youtu.be/SFu4aczPCMk

I just installed the Pioneer NEX 1330 with CarPlay in my 2014 CX5. https://youtu.be/SFu4aczPCMk

My old thread has been resurrected (dunno)

He's a little too late to the game, free bump to this old thread!

I have the AVH 5800 BHS HU in my Toyota Sienna and its a good unit. I've mostly run Alpine units with my previous cars.I had an Alpine HU recently in my Mazda5 that I sold 6 months ago and I prefer Alpine because of their awesome sound shaping tools. The time alignment and that 9 band parametric...

I used just regular Damplifier on the inner and outer skins of all 4 doors and from under the front seats back to the trunk and the hatch. I aimed to cover about 40% of the metal as I found out during testing that adding more than that didn't return much benefit but just added more weight. Just...

I've used many but not that one. You don't want to skimp on that product after tearing apart your entire car to apply it. Sound Deadener Dhowdown CLD tiles or second skin Damplifier are the two best I've used. For a lightweight alternative Sonic Barrier lightweight vinyl, part number 268-035...

You can scratch up the rest of it so it all matches and is consistent.:D

Well, since this thread has gone off topic and the OP doesn't seen to mind I'll chime in here too. I'm totally for the sleeper, no show but all go. I like things that are different and custom the way true hot rodding used to be where you created something that no one else has or thought of from...

Exactly what you said! Tccox, if yours is making a noise only when it gets hot than you may have a different problem unrelated to this one.

My 2013 did it and now my 2014 does only when it's very cold out. Dealer said they are aware of it and the replacement would eventually make the same noise. The mechanic said it has something to do with the viscosity of the grease getting stiffer when cold that makes the solinoid make that noise...

Using the USB cable will give you better sound quality over a Bluetooth connection because the already compressed MP3 files are compressed over the Bluetooth connection resulting in compromised lows and highs. I can easily tell the difference on mine by just comparing them with the same song. I...

Very nice write up! I used that PAC in my 2014 Ford F150 and it worked well. Tested it against my Audio Controls Lc2 and they were comparable sans bass eq. I used a DQ-61 for my CX5, which is a line driver with time alignment and EQ. The Lc2 would fix that factory EQ at 45 hrz or you could use...

I have my eye on the Pioneer NEX 4200 with both Apple Car Play and Android Auto, which is currently $700 from Crutchfield with a $100 mail in rebate but I still have a hard time coughing up $600 for a new head unit. A new head unit like this with 13 band EQ, digital time alignment, auto EQ, and...
