Default The Blose blows, what to replace it with...

Surely someone makes SOMETHING that I can replace this "Bose Gold" CD/cassette thing with.

What an absolute piece of... well, you know.

Did customers actually PAY for this thing? Can you say SCAM?

Anyway, I feel better now.

What fits and looks good and sounds decent. Oh, I know to get rid of the speakers too.

Thanks, as always, in advance gentlepeople...

I will give you $100 for your old Bose head unit, then you can use it towards the price of your new stereo, I live in Greece, PM me.

Well, any double-DIN unit will fit...I'm planning to eventually replace mine with a Pioneer double-din GPS navigation unit. Awesome sound, bluetooth, navigation....does life get better? I think not.

Default Try The Crutchfield Web Site.........

at Crutchfield.com to get an idea what sort of units are available for your C4. I'm fortunate that my Bose unit works just fine - though I'm thinking about pulling it to replace a couple low output bulbs.

You would be surprised how much those bose head units go for on ebay. They sell them for like $400 to $500 a pop for a working unit. It's a joke The funny thing is they actually sell. There are just some people that must have original though. If I were you and the unit works, sell it for $400 on ebay, then use that towards a better head unit

Default The Kid comes through again...

I suck. Thanks Kid.

I need to start looking through the NON-DEFAULT forums. Wow, what a wealth of information.

This place is the bee's knees and that's a fact.
