Bose Package, Worth it?

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.

Your screen name declares clearly where you're coming from. I get it, and I respect your expertise. I, and about half the people who voted in this thread, Just. Don't. Care. No offense meant.

No what I am saying is if it works for you and it isn't broke don't fix it however getting back on topic is the bose worth it? No

Bose is not obviously worth it to YOU but obviously for Mac, its fine. When taken into consideration the integration, OEM packaging, price point etc, It's okay for me 75% of the time too. What some of us is saying is that given the car environment and use, the fine points of "sound quality" is being fulfilled fine.

What we don't do is go around and make absolute statements or express opinion FOR someone else no matter what our experiences or history in the scene have been. Some of us have been in the industry for years and we've learned that everyone's tastes are different - from the type of music to needs to usage and we respect that. Given their interest, it seems to be best to guide rather than direct. I am an advocate of letting them judge it for themselves and see if it meets their needs. There's no problem of demonstrating the differences but to simply state ones' point of view as facts is simply not accurate when one does not know what is important to the person who has the most vested interest.

Excellent adjunctive point....not the best quality audio system, but as part of the total Touring package, absolutely fine for me. Would I pay a little bit more for that package if they included a better sound system? Yes. Is Nissan going to spend that extra money per car to provide a better sound system? Absolutely not. They will always be more concerned about price point and unit cost than they will be about sound quality.

I like the Touring package also, especially the leather. But to some its a big "unnecessary" $5k option. The case of the OP is that he wants a Nismo, and the Bose package is only $1350, which includes:

Auto-dimming rearview mirror
Radio Data System (RDS)
SiriusXM Satellite Radio
HomeLink® Transceiver
Eight speakers, including dual subwoofers
Speed-sensitive volume control

I still dont know how this is "not a good option" instead of stock radio.
I guess people love stock radio...
