Edit: Answered my own question: You had the DVD unit. I still wonder if it uses the same harness as the Bose 6 disc.

im using the base stereo speakers on my car. pioneer's EQ is very capable so even the stock flimsy speakers sound pretty good.

you will need a different harness for running with the bose, if you intend to keep the bose system speaker and amps. ive not looked into it in detail, but i think you use the metra/scosche harness that use RCA in's. if so, you will want a hu that has pre-amp out with at least 3V, 4V ideal. pioneers usually have 4V outs, but just make sure the spec before you buy.

my G has the bose system with polks that i installed, running AVH4100DVD with 4V outs. sounds

and all steering controls work on that car as well.

When we all sang the Navy Hymn I was getting very choked up, but then when the bugler played Taps, that was it for my composure. He was a great man and will be greatly missed by many.

a big salute to your dad, mr. onzedge!

Thanks for the info Ken! That wrap looks great! I'm thinking I might try my hand at it.

How well do you think the Dinoc would do in the engine bay? Like....the radiator cooler plate, and what not?

thanks, yah, i tried dinoc on the engine cover and it could not withstand the heat. you'll probably want to use real CF overlay for those.

I'm sure he was a great man and will rest in peace inside of your heart and those who love him. . .
