Ian Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 If I get a bose unit that has been removed from another Z & has been 'divorced' from that car, Can I put it in my car & have it work straight away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Yeah, I'm thinking its most likley to be a no but I don't know for sure & don't want to waste money buying one if it won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I'm sure I've read they are tied into the ecu some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 I'm sure I've read they are tied into the ecu some way. Yeah but if its been divorced from that ecu how easy is it to install in another Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 You may need to plug it into some sort of diagnostic machine to get it working.... probly expensive at a Dealer... Im sure a tasteful single din type unit wouldnt detract from any sale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 i think the only other thing you need is the code pin number. if it displays 'secure' im sure if you leave it 30 mins on the ignition it allows you to put a pin in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer a bose though if I can get it working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
