is this possible & worth it??

Guys

Is it possible to install BOSE system on a non-BOSE Maxima SE 2003 and if it
how much will it cost ??
is it possible to replace the manual temprature control with Automatic and the leather seat package??
I will appreciate replies.

There is a good deal on 2003 Maxima SE, but it's plain vanila. I like to have RPEMIUM sound system and Automatic temprature control.
I am trying to get an idea if it's woth getting the car and replacing stuff later on.
Thanks

Anything is possible, but those two questions have been asked a million times and the answer is always - DON'T DO IT. The wiring setup is totally different and would cost an arm an a leg to do. You should buy it if you like it, switch out the audio with aftermarket because the Bose sucks anyways. OR you can get a qoute from the dealer

Why spend all that time and money on a "Blose" system? You wont like it I assure you. Just do some research and get a Zapco or Arc amp, some nice components and maybe even a better H/U. Check out the audio forum here. Trust me, "upgrading" to a Bose system is a mistake...

Completely not worth it. Hold out and find a car that comes the way you want it. Listen to the other comments on this post, the BOSE sucks big time. Mine has been cutting in and out for the last two months.
