Hi Stealth,
Was your original unit Bose or non-Bose?
Good Evening MySport.
My old unit is the 6 cd Bose. I purchased the above kit from Dynamic Sound and it is for the Bose amp versionšš»
Hi, can you post a pic of the connectorsā¦ also hope this helps
Morning Ruberdub.
Thanks for the help, I believe I might have sorted it thanks to a post from another member who put together a pretty comprehensive guide. I managed to get sound through the speakers by connecting the separate amp lead as advised in the other post, but no steering controls. It would appear that I also need another universal iso connector to bridge with the stereo level dropperā:man_facepalming:t2: Just about to start making a new connector. Thanks for the helpā:blush:
Hello Sploosh
I have the same issue as you had and want to see if I can get the same result you did!
How do you remove the PowerShift knob? I can see the stick is threaded, but having tried twisting it before with no movement I was wary of pushing my luck in case something snapped.
The knob itself just unscrewed. But I would cover up the remaining selector rod with a piece of towel or similar and tape it on securely. Itās the sort of exposed edge that can damage others in removing parts.
Happy to report some 4.5 years on and everything is still working perfectly.
Good luck and I hope it works for you.
Sorry, should have added ā¦ unscrew anti clockwise direction.
Thanks for confirming this. I know I can keep trying to move it now.
Good to hear you can still play CDās. Iāll be pleased if this sorts it out for me too.
Did this today. I think I cleaned the CD reader lens, it was a black circle of plastic with a clear centre. When I put it back together I still got the error message, so I gave the unit a couple of taps with a hammer handle, and then it worked!
In the unlikely event anyone wants to see the unitās inners I took some pics.
Having managed to do this I now know itās relatively easy to replace the unit with an aftermarket one, but I am aware doing that with the Bose isnāt a straightforward choice.
As Sploosh says, the 10mm security bolt is a PITA to access. I didnāt bother putting it back. The electrical connectors are awkward things to release, particularly when there is very little cable slack. The PowerShift illumination connector is particularly difficult, so I unclipped the handbrake gaiter surround to get at it, which also made lifting the console off easy.
