Default New Stereo head unit

What store is knowledgeable enough to properly install a new stereo head unit with proper ipod and iphone hookups?

You have to change out the speakers too. Dr. Bose won't let you use his with some else's receiver. If you just want to use an ipod, you need a Peripheral (brand) converter box under the name AUX2CAR.

check out the c5 faq over in car audio, you just need an adapter to retain bose if you purchase this adapter and go to an installer they SHOULD be able to handle it, most will try to do it without the proper adapter and half *** it

im in the NW suburbs if you wanna venture out here ill do it for ya, do em all the time

you do not need to replace ur speakers like the other poster said

I stand corrected if your experience is otherwise. I was told twice by professional installers that it won't work. Certainly could have been a case of exzuberant salesmanship. Actually, in their defense, I asked both if I could dump my speakers for an upgrade. Is that possible?
