#87 of 121 Re: Bose in a Touring [jcbarry] by roadburner Jan 30, 2008 (8:42 am)
Replying to: jcbarry (Jan 30, 2008 6:32 am) Is it possible to install the Bose system in an 08 Touring?   As I understand it, only the am and speakers are "Bose"- not the head unit. Have you listened to the Bose system? I ask because I have the Bose system in my 07 3 and the sound is good but certainly not great. I would call Crutchfield and look into upgrading the amp and speakers while leaving the head unit alone. Replies to this message: jcbarry (Jan 30, 2008 1:00 pm)

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 30, 2008 8:42 am) Just barely got a taste of the bose, it is definitely better than the stock equipment. I think I'm going to do just that. Especially since the doors already have cut outs for a component set up.   Thanks for the info from what else I've been reading, its way too expensive and not worth the payout for the Bose setup.   Cheers!

Anybody know what kind of wattage the factory 6CD head unit pushes out to the 6 speaker setup (non-bose)?

Replying to: jcbarry (Jan 30, 2008 6:32 am) My understanding is that it is a difficult upgrade, not worth it at all, as the audio system has to be rewired (amp., sub, dif't head unit, speakers, dif't harnesses, etc.). You might just be better off going aftermarket, at least upgrading the speakers, it'll definitely be cheaper and easier.
#91 of 121 Mazda Speed3 GT sound system defect by pcampos Apr 21, 2008 (1:41 pm)
If you bought or are in the process of buying a Mazda Speed3 GT 2008 1/2, or 2008-R as it's also known, the sound system head unit needs to be replaced. When they tweaked the car for the 1/2 model year they put a new head unit in it and it doesn't work properly. This requires going into the dealer so they can take the info regarding your unit and order the appropriate new one. The new ones are taking anywhere from a day to a week to get to the dealers. Cars already on order will probably end up arriving a week or two later as they make the fix at the factory or when it's off-loaded after shipping.

Replying to: pcampos (Apr 21, 2008 1:41 pm) Do you know if Mazda already oriented all dealers about this? I'm complaining about the crappy BOSE unit since I got my car in the dealer (Lee Johnson Mazda in Kirkland, WA). I keep asking them every week about a fix but they don't know nothing about it.

Replying to: danielwollmann (Apr 22, 2008 2:13 pm) I just bought an 08 Mazda3 Grand Touring 5d hatchback with the Bose stereo and I'm very disappointed in it's performance. I hope it's the defect that danielwollmann is talking about. The bass cuts out and i have to adjust the volume up or down for it to kick back in. It happens when I play CD's, radio or ipod. Anyone else having similar problems? I'm taking it in to the dealer tomorrow and hope they have some kind of bulletin about this problem.

Replying to: 67cuda (May 04, 2008 11:26 pm) After another try in the dealer and a recommendation from the sales guy to buy a 3rd party sound system at Car Toys (I was amazed he have recommend this to a real customer) I gave up and file a complaint in Mazda’s customer services. The experience was great, they called the dealer, found the technician that has the contact with Mazda’s Hot Technical Line, and ordered the replacement for my unit. So, let’s see if the problem goes away after I got the new unit. I suggest you do the same thing, call Mazda USA Customer Service.
