CLK/Bose problem (new user)

[mikekeane]

I recently had a problem with the factory fitted Mercedes CD player in my CLK 320 and decided to swap it out for a new JVC KDL140(I think it's a 140), head unit. Unfortunately, the Bose speakers behind the rear head rests are not delivering any sound, (the stereo is treating the bottom door speakers as the rear ones).

I am at a loss as to what to do, (do I have to buy an adaptor or do I need to purchase a Mercedes model due to some sort of amp inside the head unit).

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks

as far as i know , only the factory units will work with the bose system

Fuzzer is correct... only the MB units such as the Audio 10 or Audio30 will work.

I have Bose in my SL and have found that whilst it works with both the MB units mentioned above, I found that it sounds alot better with the Audio 10 than the Audio 30 APS.

You can find MB headunits on E-bay on in the classifieds on this site. There is an Audio 30 APS unit being sold in the classifieds.

Thanks for the information - looks like I'll have to sell this JVC thing and pick up one of the MB jobs on ebay. Thanks again!

The funny thing is though whether you have bose or not, same comand unit.

How does that work?
