My 96 Bonne came with the factory non-bose radio, and now has a pionear c/d player. I want to go back to a factory radio, for the look, and use of steering wheel controles . Since my car did not have the Bose radio origionally is it going to be a problem to put one of these radios in? What are the differences in wiring? Also is the gain controll adjuster going to work with the bose, or should I take that out and put one of those bose plates in the space instead?

Anyone know who I could talk to that might know about this?

were the wires cut to put the new HU in? if not, you should be able to remove the old and put the new in assuming the speakers were not altered from stock wiring (speakers can be changed if they use the original wiring.

As for the original HU, you can use almost any one. what are you looking for? I have a couple CD and tape players here that would work for you.
