Bose Package, Worth it?

Fountainhead

Oh yeah, FWIW, what is REALLY hilarious is most of the "famous" name brand makes, ALSO make the so called "sh*tty" Bose headunits for the OE installs.
Bose can't make a car audio head unit, they just aren't set up. All they do is specify the feature and EQ set, then the famous makers design it for them and sell it with BOSE on the panel. SMH
A classic example of the "Pot calling the kettle black".

There's a lot of cross breeding than most people are aware of.

I can't count the number of speaker, head units, cd changer head units, and amps from bose I have pulled because of failure over the years.

Whereas, see...what matters to me is that every car or truck my wife or I have owned since at least 1999 has had Bose audio and neither of us have had any kind of audio failure. AFAIk Bose is good to go.

Consider yourselves lucky, bose bends you over for replacements out of warranty.

By my experience, I don't count myself lucky, I consider it to be the norm.

bigaudiofanat

I do, considering how many I've replaced in multiple vehicles in 8 years.

So....based on your experience I'm supposed spend the time, effort, money and replace my OEM Bose system even though it works perfectly for me, is on warranty for as long as I'll own the car, and completely meets my music quality expectations? I don't think so.

There's only one reason to go through the significant expense and/or headache of replacing my Bose system and that would be only if didn't perform up to my needs.
