frenshy Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Hi all Looking at my options for getting rid of the japanese head unit. Just wondered if someone can help.. Will a UK BOSE head unit simply plug n play as an exchange for the japanese unit? 2003 car. Will I need a code with the 2nd hand unit? thanks Jim Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 OEM headunits must be properly "divorced" from their donor cars. Best PM R35LEE, as he most likely has one or two in stock Quote

spursmaddave Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Why not just put a cheaper more up to date unit in Quote
frenshy Posted December 1, 2012 Author Posted December 1, 2012 Why not just put a cheaper more up to date unit in TBH Im leaning towards that, an all in one system with satnav etc. - but I have a friend with a UK head unit which is already removed from its previous car, just wondering if thats a load of ag or whether it will just go in and work as a direct replacement.?

spursmaddave Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 A bit of aggro and expense to unmate it wirh his car, I am sure you COULD get it to work but don't see the logic... Also is it a Bose and does your JDM have a sub and rear speakers Quote

spursmaddave Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Whats the difference between the jap unit and uk unit Quote
Beavis Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Whats the difference between the jap unit and uk unit The frequency that the radio works at i reckon. Quote
Dblock Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Whats the difference between the jap unit and uk unit The frequency that the radio works at i reckon. This, JDM bose is the exact same, bar it only tunes to like 90.1 or something Edited December 2, 2012 by Dblock Quote
Whazza22 Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 I needed to buy an adapter from Halfords to allow me to fit a Jvc headunit into my import. Worked a treat and the radio is bang on! Quote
