BOSE Sound system standard on C32?
Hi,
Thanks, could anyone kindly let me know if the BOSE are standard on C32s, as I am told by some dealers its an option and with others telling me they are standard. The C32 I am looking at is 2003 '53' doesn't appear to be any BOSE markings like HKs in BMWs.
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Windy

Only way to tell is to fiddle with the sound options in the head unit COMAND and see if you get a SPATIAL sound setting in the (small medium large) in the FIX SOUND SETTINGS parameter. That is a way to tell you have BOSE.

I don't want to replace the whole system, I just would like a better speaker sound, specially from the sub.

Thanks everyone,
The sales person told me he got the code from the datacard and also from their computer system which showed him the spec from factory, after all this he said hes not 100% if that means its BOSE.
Sorry for all this hassle, but I am trying to find out as much as possible before I go see the car, as it is more then 200+ miles away from me.
Thanks for everyones time.

'03 C32
Windy, are you asking because you want or don't want the BOSE system? I have the BOSE system in my '03 C32 and the sound is really poor.
Am I the only one who thinks so? I have been under the impression that all of the sound systems in the C32 have been weak.

50% of the time, i hate the sound of the C32..
there are a few tracks which are frq of the songs are really low and very clear, which this system can handle really well due to the fiber optic connection.
I agree, speakers will never have F.O. connections, only the receiver to the amp.
The system can be played really loud without much distortion, but it lacks the punch.
my G35 sedan had a better sub the this car.
