Default Bose Nav System?

I was just wondering if any of you guys have seen the new Bose Media System and if so do you think it would be a "drop-in" system (no adapters) to upgrade our current POS that's in our C5s?

Mind you, if it's debuting in the new Ferrari 612, I think that it's probably going to be way too pricey!!! Seeing as Bose have a tie-in with GM it may be the new system for the Blue Devil???

Just a thought...

Hadn't seen it before but it sounds and looks very nice. I would agree the price is probably very high.

Man, that is nice. I hope others chime in whether or not it would be "plug n' play". I too, would like to "retire" the current Bose system.

Nice looking system - will be keeping track of whether this system is a direct replacement. Would be nice.

GM may have gotten Bose to supply the speakers, although they must be really low-end ones...but the head unit is ALL Chevy/GM. So no, I highly doubt the harness would just plug right up. My radio is identical to that of a camaro of the same year, (well if they made them in 03', so I guess 02' and before maybe even back to 93').

I'm sure you can make it work though, as any other aftermarket head unit does. Plus, if you have that head unit, it will match the speaker emblems at least!
