Just noticed that the factory BOSE audio system is all but shot. The CD won't readily accept loading a CD (much less ejecting it!), the radio works but audio output sounds tinny and weak. Antenna goes up and down with no issues. The FM part of the radio seems to work fine.

I'll have to remove the OEM radio anyway just to send it off to get the CD player working but if it has to be removed, then maybe it's time for a replacement.

Any good brand/model suggestions for a replacement? Single-DIN would be OK. Is there a specific install kit for C4's? Wiring harness?

Take it to a deserted area and have your buddy throw it up in the air when you yell "PULL:" and shoot it. Speakers? See above.

I would look at Crutchfield and see. I have the Bose unit too. More accurately, HAD. It suffered from lead poisoning. I had Best Buy run wires for me. That way, I get them to do the grunt work of snaking the wires, under my watch, of course. They left a foot or more at the ends. Snake wire to all 4 speaker areas. I did the final wires. Got the "Non Bose" option from Crutchfield with the faceplate. I got non Bose enclosures for the speakers and put the new speakers in, connected the wires and away I went. No more Bose.

Reasonably P&P. You have to run new wires but fitment is fine with the install kit
