Bose stereoe
Hi as a new united kingdom owner I (1985 vette in light metallic blue) was wondering in anyone could give me any info on replacing the standard Delco/Bose stereo. The cassette deck is non functioing but radio and all speakers are okay. Obviously I am after trying ti fit a standard Din e size unit and was wondering how much aggro this will be. I have not removed the existing stereo yet as i have already found out enough info to understand it is no straight swop due to the 6 speaker set up complete with amps so i am currentley stuck with listening to the radio and the sound of the engine (no bad thing though). I have a very good in dash Kenwood cd unit that i would like to fit and am kind of hoping that someone across the pond does something nice and simple like a wiring loom adapter and a dash panel to take the smaller stereo. Any advice would be greatley appreciated as i dont want to spend a fortune just replacing the stereo as i would much rather spend my hard earned on cash on things to make it go even bettter

You have to buy a bose adapter. Cardomain.com has some. Peripheral

The only thing is your amps and antenna will stay on all the time.
I am trying to find out myself how to jury rig it to the on/off switch.
I suggest to get a Pioneer DEH P47 or P77. It is a 1.5 DIN and also has the capacity to accept an AUX input for an IPOD/Mp3 player

with some decent electonic knowledge and a multimeter you should be able to easily overcome the amp/antenna problem, it has somethign to do with the amp turn on and power antenna wires in your harness... sry i cant offer more when I did a buddys C4 we ripped everything out
