I have the stock Becker 1692 head unit and want to replace it with a cd player. Because of this I have a few questions:
How do I tell if I have the Bose stereo system? I could not find any external amps in the trunk, and the rear deck speakers are rated at 4 ohms. Does this sound like Bose? Am I looking for amps in the wrong place? What exactly are the differences between the Bose and a non-Bose system and how does it affect installation?
If it's not a Bose system am I to believe that upgrading will be easier do to a lack of external amps? Will I be able to just replace the headunit with an aftermarket one by using an appropriate wiring harness?
The dealerships and the independent Mercedes repair shops here have been absolutely no help.
Thanks in advance
