Well yes, but non-Bose mostly still use amplifiers for the rear speakers. Which is why it's an option in the coding tables for RNS-D.
The amplified speakers have extra wires as the amps are in the housing under the parcel shelf. And according to one source I read they then feed the rear door speakers.
The FACT that I had sound from my rear speakers (door & shelf, but not front door) with Bose coded in the RNS supports that.
Which connections are used from the RNS I don't know, but it would make sense for the fronts to use the powered connections and rears to use the lineout ones in that "mixed" configuration.
Quote:
0 = No passive loudspeakers (Bose sound system)
1 = 1 passive loudspeaker (front left) (Bose with telephone)
2 = 2 passive loudspeakers (front) and 2 active loudspeakers (rear)
5 = 2 passive loudspeakers (front) and no active loudspeakers (rear)
