2007 MS3 Headunit/speakers

[C-Bass]

If the dealer goes to install the Bose system then it will require replacing pretty much everything as Bose uses proprietary equipment.

I'm not a big fan of Bose, and I know in the past Bose factory systems have been a huge cockblock for audiophiles because of the proprietary equipment you speak of. Does anybody know if this is the case in the MS3 GT? Basically, will changing out the head unit be a royal pain or will it be plug and play like a non-Bose system would be?

Also, I'd love to install an in-dash DVD player in my car at some point, but I'm not a big fan of the flip up screens. Does the 3 have any kits available to convert that large waste of dash space into a double din opening?

That is your source for those questions. Call them it is free to call and ask for the kit to convert your dash.

wasnt big pain, i had my dvd player installed on my mazda 3 04 by circuit city and they had the wiring harness for it, all i did for the speed was unplug the stock....plug in the new along with the dash kit...took me mroe time taking apart than puttin radio in ....

Where did you buy that dash kit? I see there's one offered at Crutchfield, the one you posted pics of looks a little different. Looks like the plastic matches up pretty well with the rest of the interior?

bose speakers rock however.

The problem with Bose is you are throwing darts.... the "Bose" upgraded system on the C6 corvette plain SUCKS.... you ready for this: paper cone speakers with dweeeblers on the front, paper speakers on the rear cargo area with MONO hookups..... self powered subs on the doors (ok those are decent) - and a center dashboard mounted speaker that does who knows what...the rear mono really bugs me specially since they ran separate wires to each speaker... that is one reason I didnt upgrade to touring on the MS3... refuse to pay for a bose system that can be stellar or crappy depending on how much signal processing they decided to throw onto the head unit....

bose is good for mids and highs, i jstu upgraded my stereo and it defintely hurts the ears if i turn up too loud, its really clear and has some kick to it( whats really sucks is i have a ******* coin stuck in the subwoofer inder the passanger side and its sooo annoyign , im gonna take apart 2mor and find the lil bastard )

Sorry. Wrong. Nothing Bose makes for car audio or home audio is worth anything. Its all overhyped BS. Their noise cancelling headphones may be alright, but even those you can find cheaper with other brands and get the same quality. Friends don't let friends buy Bose.
