I think the best and easiest way is that I can ship it to you and you pay with paypal that way we don't have to make special trips. I will PM you my info.

I see Bose on it

I know mine has Bose on it. It's on the clear cover for the digital readout.

So is this unit plug and play if you have Bose in an early C4?

The outputs are amplified and this is not really suitable for a Bose system, its not a Bose.

I'm not sure what to do because of the post today that says the Radio has amplification built in.

That would most likely blow the Bose Amps which could be what happened to you.

I guess I need to see what the outputs look like as far as power before I can make an intelligent decision.

Thanks for this info.

I already have bought the radio so I guess I need to check the power at the outputs to see if the radio can be used without any amps.

I'm not sure my amps are working correctly anyway because the front speakers don't seem to have any volume even with the fader turned all the way to the front.

The seller says the connectors all match perfectly so I assumed it would plug and play.

I'm not sure what car this radio was made for. I would like to come up with a manual.

Hopefully the car audio guy nearby will have some knowledge about it. Thanks again for warning me
