Bang and Olufsen Sound System, Its definitely better than Bose. I dont trust anything other than Bose. It has good enough sound, perfect balance of sound.

And from experience, any other speakers that I had in my car was crap quality. Sounded good for a month and than they would tear and crap. Bose is a quality product. I back that up from research, asking pro's, and experience.

Unplug the footwell light wire under the driver seat. That wire over time can get pinched, and give you the dreaded Fuse #14 issue, which also makes the car think that one or more of the doors is open.

It is the small black connector under the driver seat here at the top of this picture (sorry for the blurry pic):


Just raise the seat as high as it will go and tilt it back a bit so you can reach in there. That should eliminate the pinched wire issue, until you have time and energy to remove the front seat backrest to find where the wire is being pinched. Some have reported a lumbar support bar that fails which pinches the wire.

Your joking I hope. You can do better with most any quality brand. Even plugging an Ipod in to bypass the horrid Bose DAC's helps quite a bit.
