Oh God another issue, when my radio was replaced two weeks ago....HELP
for the freq issue and display dropping off, so I placed an order with my dealer last October, I had to ring AoA to get it, so received it and fitted it two weeks ago. Thought everything was looking ok, but when driving this morning I noticed than when I turned it on that the BOSE was not displayed, I had a BOSE system and now I guess I don't have a BOSE head unit, what the hell??? I still have the hidden equalizer in this unit, what should I do?
Should I ring the dealer, AoA who.
Tks guys.

Just got done w/ a search and...
...I find that they are, in fact, the same headunit. The only differences are the speakers and amp. I also found that it has to be set in "BOSE" mode for it to utilize the full capacity of the amp and speakers.

Bose code is 00017. This should be "00117".
Breakdown of number (12345) is:
1. Country code. 0 is standard.
2. Sound matching. 0 is only value mentioned.
3. # of passive speakers.
0 - No passive speakers (Bose).
1 - Passive speaker (Bose w/Phone).
2 - Passive front and 2 active rear
5 - Passive front and no active rear.
4. Type of adjustment.
0 - Standard.
1 - Bose.
5. Radio Configuration
1 - Antenna
3 - Antenna and CD Changer
5 - Antenna and Secondary Display (NAV)
7 - Antenna, CD Changer, NAV

Now I just need to find a VAG tool.
