Sorry if this a basic newbie question, but my audio experience is minimal.

My stereo is randomly making some funny noises, leading me to think the HU is starting to fail. It is kind of a electrical popping/static kind of noise. I have heard the noise while listening to FM, CD and also in the silence between songs.

I would like to retain the factory look of the Bose HU, but would like to know what newer Bose HUs might fit in the dash. Am I limited to 99 as the newest or will a 5th or 5.5 gen fit?


Thanks in advance,
Paul

 

You're limited to a 4th gen Bose unit.

Though, I'd save my money and just go aftermarket. You can find some decks that look great in your dash. Sound will be better and bang for buck will also be better.

 

I Have A 1998 Maxima, I Recently Added A Bose Head Unit From A 2002 Pathfinder. (direct Connect,no Mods Necessary,6 Disc In Dash,displays Title And Artist And Radio Freq.) Lqqks Like It Was Made For The 4th Gen Max.......btw I Will Sell This Head Unit For $250 If Interested....(decided To Go With A Kenwood Double-din Navi. Unit.......

 

Post it in the right section and maybe someone will pay attention to you.
