Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 2Original post

Main differences are the Bose has a subwoofer and audiopilot which changes the EQ to compensate for speed related cabin noise. The Bose definitely sounds better, but in truth there is so much cabin noise at speed you won't tell a huge difference. I have a Kenwood head unit and a new amp in my '03 4S. Works fine and the only annoyance of it not being OE is that it won't work unless the ignition is on.
