I did not know that. I just wanted the OP to know it was not a Bose head unit.

Dumb Question
So I bought my C6, and the little window sign said that it had the bose audio. Is there a label on the speakers that would indicate this? Is there somewhere were I can look up such information by VIN?

If the speaker grills in the doors are original, those on Bose-equipped C6s will have the Bose logo clearly displayed. In addition, only 3LT and 4LT-equipped C6s (1SB in 2005) came with Bose. Essentially, if your car has heated seats and HUD (factory-installed), it has Bose; if it doesn't have heated seats and HUD, it wasn't built with Bose.
