Bose out - UK

[cooky]

Hi Guys
My Bose system has quit again in my 91. Pretty sure it's not the head unit as I've tried another with the same result, maybe all four amps have dies or maybe the CDM. Anyway with the price of the £/$ at the moment and customs duty (30%) it would cost a fortune to ship all new parts across the pond, so I've bought a Pioneer Double Din set-up and now I have a couple of questions.
1. Is the aerial (antenna) easy to remove from the CDM without stripping the dashboard out?
2. Does the aerial (antenna) have a plug/socket for the co-axial at the rear of the vehicle and an extension through to the CDM at the front or is it one long aerial (antenna) cable.

Thanks for any help and I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.

I don't have an answer for your two questions, but you will need to install two resisters behind the head unit to keep the "SYS" light from appearing on your digital display. Do a search on this forum for details.

The antenna has two connections at the rear of the vehicle for the "coax and power". I have a '92 and my "CDM", as you call it, is underneath my passenger side dash (convertible). Don't know if yours is in a similar location, but somebody here with a '91 should be able to tell you.

You don't have to send it across the atlantic, only across the channel.
