The BA system I found to be really good once I added the subs in the trunk. I've been very happy with it.
This model, though, I'm sure will go through a similar cycle. People will find ways to integrate subs. A company will probably produce an easy way to do so, similar to the harness that ******** sold for our 5th gens. It's 2015, there will be ways to customize the speaker setup. The head unit definitely looks like it will be tough to change, even more than the 5th possibly... |

Ive never heard the BA system everyone complains about, but I can speak for Bose. I had it in 2 Corvettes and a home system... It was pure crap. Literally the worst sound quality of any cars Ive ever owned(including old trucks). Great bass, but no highs. Flat. Horrible. Sure hope theyve improved.

Yea I'm curious about this too and hope either a company comes out with a mod to integrate with the stock HU or there is a way to integrate subs DIY style. I just cannot have a stock sound system, usually one of the first things I mod lol.

Except the next gen my-link has all the computer controls, and settings for all the tech in the Head Unit. Also Bose is a proprietary system separate coded signals for each of there speakers.

A aftermarket kit would have to extend down where the power/forward/back buttons were located. ( There would be a big hole where the power/forward,backward/home buttons were located after removing them. ) The question is, on the units that have the ambient lighting surrounding the head unit screen, would removing that lighting disable ALL the ambient lighting in the car, or could it just be bypassed. Gonna be interesting to find out how its rigged so that a aftermarket unit can be put in. |

Me too. This time around, I want to keep the stock head unit, so we'll see what options become available.

Id almost rather get a more basic stereo package and then upgrade the headunit/speakers/amp to aftermarket myself later on down the road. |

Why oh why did the OEMs get into bed with Bose in the first place? |

I have 0 interest in some out of place aftermarket crap as a head unit. Hope the stock system delivers but if it doesn't, there are options which keep the stock hu. |

I hate aftermarket headunits. I was shopping for a used car a while back and it was always an immediate dealbreaker for me. When GM started integrating switchgear into the center stack I celebrated.

I don't think it would make sense to change the head unit on the 6th gen. I thought most people changed the 5gen unit because it was not a screen but more of a dated looking head unit. That's not the case this time. Most new cars come with the head unit intergtated into the vehicle and is never changed.

Obviously there are other steps that need to be taken like deadening your doors, getting a good component set paired with a solid amp, etc, etc. |
