Bose System
I have a 02 ML500 that I just picked up. The speakers have a little Bose logo on them, but I thought that I should also see Bose in the Radio Display.
Can someone use a non-Bose radio with Bose speakers?
I just want to make sure that the radio that is in the car is the correct one.
thanks

Bose is still an option package on the 500, mine does not have bose. Its a popular option, but every now and then some cheapskate doesn't get it
I could barely afford what I got, which was an ML500 with the sunroof package and comfort package. It has nothing else on it. I had to install the cd changer myself, and I added a leftover rear seat DVD system for good measure. I don't have xenon lights, parktronic, or anything! I did get the most important 2 things in the world though: heated seats and a V-8. Its a requirement for any vehicle I buy now.

Nope..bose was an option on the 430s too..
I very well remember that, when I was considering the 430 over the 320, back in 2000...bose (premium sound) was optional on both..

Even though the system is a bose system, I believe the head units are still made by becker. And I also believe the only ML that the bose came standard in is the 55 as well as the xenons, but at that price they better come standard with all those goodies. :p
