I just purchased a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport and would like to add this head unit. The factory speakers are from Bose. Will this unit enhance the factory system or is it not compatible? And what do I need to hook up a Navigation system with it?

hi, yes, it will enhance your sound ,it may needs a special adapter for wire harness due to bose, i had mine installed by a local guy in my hummer because i had a Monson sound system with onstar. you can use your iphone to add gps to the unit thru the mirror link or the gps add on is about $250 dollars. thanks

Go to your local stereo shop (best buy or frys even on line some where) and ask if there is an installation kit matching your car to this head unit available . I'm sure there is, its a simple install, don't forget the wiring harness. Good unit too.

That's a difficult answer to truly answer as no one knows which car you have. Functionality technically would be dependent upon the design of your car, and your car would call for this accessory for connectioning your device. That said, in a 2012 CTS Wagon, this does nothing but allow access to a music library on an iPod. The GM interface for doing this leaves much to be desired, but it does work.The answer you're looking for would probably be better suited to asking a dealership about what your car can do with its radio

No. You'll need to buy the aux cable and run it from the rear of the unit. Great head unit though. Had in my boat and it works great

I have a mazda 3 2005 without the bose system but i was able to plug in a pioneer amp without any problems! If you know how to install an amp it shouldnt be a problem...

The stock stereo in the grand Prix has door and rear deck speakers as I recall. Pretty sure you can run the 6x9 in the rear deck without issue as for 3 way speakers that has woofer tweeter and midrange..thats what differentiates it for a 2 way which is woofer and tweeter only.

Hello, I'm not really sure. I actually installed it in a 2003 350z with no problems. If the bose system hasnt changed much you shouldnt have a problem. I ould defintely check out a Pathfinder forum. Thats how I found out about the harness in the first place. Hope this is helpful.

Just one will do. In addition to the power wires, illumination, etc... it has four pairs of colored wires (purple, green, white, and gray) for the speakers that will connect your new head unit's harness into the factory harness. To be sure, this harness is intended to be connected to the wiring harness that comes with any new aftermarket car stereo and then plugs directly into your factory stereo harness. That way you keep your factory harness intact. Hope this helps!

It is installed in line with the antenna line. You do need to have it in an fm station. It was the only option I had for my SRX because of the Bose and Navigation system. I now have hands free calling and can stream my music by Bluetooth to the car stereo. I am very happy with the product. As soon as you get in the car it will connect to your phone just like in any newer car with Bluetooth. I always use my own music so it is perfect. To answer your question it does work like a FM modulator but way more advanced.

I have tried this on my 2009 C300 (which had an ipod connector cable) but unfortunately it didn't work. There is a 3.5 mm (regular headphone) audio out too on this blutooth receiver that can be used to connect to a AUX in (if you have that). Unfortunately my car did not have an AUX-in and therefore I could not use this. Despite this, I decided to keep this device since it looked useful with built in battery and portability. It works with my bose ipod dock though!

The main thing is the model of the stereo head unit. The aux audio feature appeared at a certain point in the series; I am of the understanding that this feature goes back to at least 2003, so you should be OK. E46fanatics.com is a great resource and there are many personal accounts there to draw upon.I installed mine in the sunglasses storage bin above the ashtray so as not to have to reach for the glove compartment, but had to do a good deal of drilling and cutting on the rear side to get it to close (due to the way the lid moves against the bin) and even after a considerable amount of work the action is not perfect. I may end up relocating it to the glove compartment per factory instructions. The main thing is the model of the stereo head unit.

there is no option to connect the rear speakers to the main head unit. The rear speakers require the included separate amplifier and wireless transmitter.

Yes, I used this kit on my 2007 that has the Bose system. Make sure you get the other harnesses so that you can connect your steering wheel controls and your new stereo as well.

Dear Andrew, Here are few pointers, this unit will only fit a model of car that does not have premium sound ( bose) also one that does not have a factory navigation unit already in the dash. Thank youkelvin

Probably not. I used to work in the industry ( 1983-2007 ( not an installer)), and my memory tells my there were always special harnesses for Bose. Bose was always somewhat proprietary. If I remember correctly you will need an additional harness. It depends on whether or not you have amplified speakers. Some Bose systems used self amplified speakers ( each speaker has its own amp attached directly to the frame of the speaker ). If so, you effectively need special Bose high to low adapters to reduce the speaker output to line level. You should contact Metra online for Bose system vehicles to see if there is an additional or different harness needed. Probably not.

Hey I bought this for my husband chevy truck. It plays through ipod bluetooth and through his phone bluetooth. He loves it. He was also able to put all his music on a thumb drive with videos and hook it through the ubs port connector and plays his music that way as well. Hope this help with your decision on buying this item. The only concern was he need at a connector to back for his back speakers to play. And it did not come with the gps but it ask you if you want to purchase one at the time of buy we did see that till after we purchase it. But it fit perfect with the wires and all. He owns a 2010 Chev Silverado. He likes for price. The original was double that price. :)

Everyone on here talks about the fluff. Like how pretty or ugly the speakers are and what they use them for. But the elephant in the room is what are the connectors on the back of the base station? There are zero pictures of the back of the base station and calling many distributors no one has a clue. There are no online user manual pdf's either. I awesome there is an electrical outlet and 2 audio in/out connector holes? Does anyone know? Thank you for helping me as I want to hook this up to my Home AVR Surround Sound system to use for listening to the radio.
