    Somone in the USA ran a test and found the coding did not alter equalisation on the old Symphony II it just switched the Bose logo on. The test also revealed the flat equalisation needed for the Bose amps was achived by grounding the ‘Bose’ pin (labled GA on the Symphony II). If the GA...

    I.C.E. upgrade A3

    Colour Of New Engine Oil ...... Post service

    when I did my service the new long life oil looked decidedly old/ropey after 100 miles. I know it was all done correctly because I did it myself. I did a search on the net out of curiosity and it is a common issue and assumed it goes like that because it is quite a thin oil. If the car...

    new concert 3 with bose

    Vagcom can switch the Bose logo on & off on the concert II (no idea on concert III). But according to a few guys that have run tests in the USA it does not alter any sound settings, that side is handled by an extra wire in the radio harness that grounds a specific pin at the back of the...

    Can I tap CD changer outlet for switched radio power supply?

    The amp remote becomes live with the ignition key even if the radio is switched off by pushing the volume control. However it will stay live until the key is removed even if the ignition is off if that helps.
