    Bose Factory Stereo

    Bose makes it hard to replace their ... um 'stuff' - eventually the after-market will figure it out (tho major surgery might still be required) Crutchfield may know of something, tho they are not a discounter

    How long does the 2017 original equipment battery remain trouble free?

    Lead acid starting batteries are challenged when heavily discharged or with excess vibration such as off-road racing. If the car sits more than a week or so, put it on a 'smart' trickle charger. If used for multiple short trips in winter, do the same. Otherwise, a decent brand-name battery...

    Auto Unlock in Settings ??
