I have the single-din BOSE...I know that a 4th gen BOSE HU will fit(change the harness). I just don't know if this will fit...help! I don't think it's from a Maxima...that's why I'm worried if it will fit or not. :P

I have a 97 SE and thats the same one I have. Actually the CD portion just died. If you want a radio I suggest an aftermarket one.

 

it looks like it will work. nissan uses all din or double din in its vehicles. to double check check out a crutchfield catalog

I don't think the radio is a Bose radio. 1) There's no Bose label on it anywhere, and 2) the description lists a *Clarion* part number. It looks like a base radio from a Maxima, but it is my understanding that *nothing* works with Bose factory equipment except for other Bose factory pieces, i.e. the head unit would not work with your existing Bose speakers. My $.02

 

hey, I'm a car audio dealer, and here's my two cents ;p

BOSE sucks, all it wil ldo is cause you problems when you upgrade speakers, amps, etc.

now, you have a single-DIN unit, that unit is NOT single-din, it's a dionsaur, and double-din.

se_rious97 was right that nothing works with bose, but you can buy an adapter for about $50.00 that integrates your headunit with your factory speakers and amps. BUT, the power from those amps is not a lot, new headunits, even cheap ones put out cleaner power, and MORE power than the bose amps.

if I were you, I'd buy a harness and a new headunit..because all bose has done me is cause truolbe ;p

 

Now that you mention it, it doesn't say BOSE does it? Either way, that is identical to the factory radio from my 97 SE. BUT regardless, the radios are not BOSE, they are Clarion, and the amps and speakers are BOSE.

I recommend the adapter and a new head unit. Crutchfield has the integrated adapter for $49.95 and you can get a great CD for around $225.

 

the bose system is good but you know what......they are a pain in the gluteous maximus......the reason i say this is because you cant do **** with it,you cant mix bose and non bose,i just learned that recently,two suggestions get a new aftermarket system (HU speakers etc.) or keep the single din and just add a cd changer with wired remote control (check crutchfield.com)

 

correct..Bose does NOT make headunits. Clarion made the head unit to Bose's specs on the speakers. Bose only makes the speakers and amps in the car.

the adapter from crutchfield is a piece or ****. the adjusters will wear out after turning them too many times when adjusting the sound coming out of each speaker. after a while the sound is unequal between all the speakers. i just replaced everything in my maxi. headunit, speakers and all.

OK, fair enough. The point I was trying to make is this: the radio being auctioned has no Bose markings whatsoever, so it is not going to be compatible with any Nissan-Bose factory equipment. I notice the wire harness plug-ins on the back of the radio are standard Nissan harnesses. Does anyone know if the Bose-specific head units have their own specific plug-ins so a "regular" Nissan radio can't accidentally be put in a car with Bose speakers?

 

makes (by far) the best adaptor. You can add an aftermarket head unit, or speakers with the 4 channel unit, and the two channel unit is the best way to add on a sub.

You can find them on the web.

 

Amax935 come to the car show in Brockton, MA tomorrow I'll take some bad *** pics of your car. Come on.. We can go pick up freshman high school chicks after.. LOL Brockton Fair Grounds. I'll be there at like 2 or so if anyones going..

 

I'm going to the Keys next week. I haven't forgot about you and Lime Rock. It is gonna cost pretty big to get in. I'll probably end up joining SCCA, and doing some club work to pick my spot. I really don't want to get into any fender crunching races. Sit tight!

 

Its cool bro I would like to go and watch someone do it and maybe ride along. I might go maybe next year with the TTZ brakes and some suspension mods. Also most of the racing there is designed to keep crashes to an extreme minimum. You can only pass in specific places, you get an instructor to teach you the lines, etc. It sounds like fun though

 

Yeah I figure its a good idea to pay some dues and make some friends before hitting the track. I have to upgrade the brakes for the track. It would be sweet to have the turbo and be able to pull on most 3 Series.

 

Yeah, its gonna be sweet to have a turbo and pull on modded Vets and some Vipers or something.. LOL

 

oh my, I'd be content with other maxes (get VE the credit it is due),any NA Rice,NA A6-A4, and any car made by Sven.

Maybe if I kiss *** at Skip Barber, drop$$$,I can try out some of that viper whiplash.
