Bose upgrade - feasible or not?
So there's someone on AudiSRS advertising a Bose Amp, but they say they're removing a whole Bose system.... (not sure from what exactly).
Anyone know what is required to upgrade an FL S8 with RNS-D from standard audio amp & speakers to Bose?

Apart from an awful lot of wiring, and some recoding and replacement of all the speakers I guess anything is possible. The Bose wiring loom is I guess part of the main loom, so you'll need the cars main wiring loom from which to extract the wires relevant to the Bose setup.
The Bose uses the RNS-D line outs, and not the current speaker connections so you'll need every single piece of wiring from the headunit back. Once its all installed, including the Bose speakers and rewiring them to the Bose amp, then code the RNS-D for Bose to enable the line outputs and disable the speaker level.

Yes, I had A8 Parts do mine back in 2009 when they used to do retrofitting. The non bose system from a previous D2 was quite good so the new one without really sounded awful. It was a worthwhile upgrade.
