Car Audio Systems???
So far, the only thing ive heard is a optional Bose system. Any facts on the base system, speakers, subwoofer, smart phone connectivity?????? From pictures, it appears that to go with a aftermarket head unit, a special kit AGAIN will have to be developed. Also appears that anyone who has the ambient lighting around the stock audio system head unit, will possibly lose that with a aftermarket kit.

With all the features integrated into the infotainment unit, I would be hesitant to replace it.

Well if it is 10 speakers + "sub", then there must be a line-level out unless the head unit is powering the sub, but it has an amplifier so I doubt it is.

Also, wouldn't the line level out come after the amp, and you would want to install your new amp before that point? I don't know much about factory integration, so you may be right. |

Line level is a non-amplified signal, so it is before the amp. Pre-outs are line-level. After the amplifier it is "speaker level". Does anyone know where the amplifier is in the current 2LT/2SS cars? Is it under the front passenger seat? |

Everyone loves to knock the BA system in the 5th gen...and I agree its not the best thing out there by anymeans, but I enjoyed mine. Some songs the bass felt just alright and on others it was good (not compared to an aftermarket sub of course). But I felt the loudness, mids and highs were PLENTY good for me.
If this bose system is better in all regard (or just has better bass) I will be very happy.
