OEM Base Audio System to Full Bose System Swap / Conversion?

TopGone · 02-14-2011, 08:24 PM

How hard would it be for a Nissan 370Z base audio system swap / conversion to a full Bose system? I'm talking about Bose: head unit, 8 speakers, and amp(s)? I currently have a full Bose system I want to part with and would like to know what is all entailed for someone to do the swap. Is all the wiring in the base 370z cars ready for the Bose system swap? I have done research and all I can see is a missing Bose head unit wire harness to complete this swap. Is that true?

I am not asking about opinions on the Bose system. I know there are a lot of aftermarket audio equipment that can run in the thousands. I just wanted to have a post of the technical hardware swap / conversion. Can it be done with little effort if all the OEM Bose equipment is available?

Thanks a ton!

From your post, I'm sure it doesn't, but I gotta ask: is your Bose system with NAV?

I have an extra Bose system laying around for dirt cheap if you want it, not all parts are present as the door brackets are still being used. I spent a bunch of time ripping it out, it would be funny to see someone spend a bunch of time putting it back into a Z.

Would you have the stock harness capable of just plugging right into components? If so then it could be an easy upgrade.

Nope, no nav. Just seeing how easy it would be to upgrade to bose.

Make me an offer, I have no idea what a factory blows system would be worth. I think it would be funny to see someone actually go through the trouble of installing a Bose system.
