r111nxx Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 The Bose stereo on my Z has decided to stop playing discs. It was working fine now it just says to eject discs but won't. So I am looking for a replacement- either for the standard Bose unit or an aftermarket stereo as long as it is decent and double din. Any ideas on fixing mine also appreciated. Quote

r111nxx Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 You are probably right. Anything you would suggest? Anything special required or should it be a simple swap over? Quote
ddcboyle Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Most of them you need an adapter for the plugins, and an adapter for steering controls. If you went for bose h.u. I would presume you wouldnt need adapters, but knowing companies you probably will with a bose too Quote
r111nxx Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks. I'll call I to a specialist shop near me to see what they can do for me. Quote

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Mine came with a pioneer aftermarket stereo, but it didn't have steering wheel control adapters fitted, and it is not amazing so I bought a new one. The new one i bought was a Zenec, with built in GPS. When I went to fit the stereo, the speakers didn't work. So I went to a specialist to get a quote to just fit it. I was expecting around £50. I was quoted £420 just to fit it!! Quote
mouthwash Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Just be careful if you buy a Bose one because it has to be de-linked from the car that it came from, if I remember correctly, before it can be married up to your car. Quote
