Nope, none of that at all.
I am installing a TV tuner, but it's a small aftermarket DVB-T box and will be going somewhere else, probably around the dashboard area.
And my phone is linked via Bluetooth through an XcarLink unit (which also has music on SD card and USB and can connect an Apple device).

I certainly miss Bose, but from what I've read that's a major (and expensive) mission that involves stripping out much of the interior and all the door linings.
