Good question, I cannot find out what the difference is. I didn't think too much about it when I ordered my car, I just assumed that it would be much better for the extra US$1,000.

After I got the car I found the sound quality to be a little disappointing, so I investigated further. The brochure stated under the optional extras that the Bose Sound System had 7 speakers, yet I understand that 7 is standard anyway for the cabriolet and 8 is standard for the coupe - go figure!

The brochure also stated that the Bose system included a microphone to measure ambient sound levels and adjust the volume accordingly. Mine does not, so I asked the dealer. He said that no such system exists and the standard merc system has a speed-sensitive sound adjustment - mine does not have that either.

So, all in all, it seems that my extra $1,000 got me less than the standard system. After some 6 months of questioning the dealer I am no nearer getting a sensible answer.

its definitely not worth the money. for a grand, u can get stuff you really want and speakers that suite your musical tastes. and another grand for a cd changer? homie dont play that.
