You will have to becareful with replacing the Bose HU. I did and regret it. Spend $100 odd dollars on the facia and connections.

From memory, aftermarket HU's output 4ohm where the Bose outputs only 2 ohm's. This caused MAJOR distortion from my speakers and i had to end up removing the aftermarket HU and reinstall the BOSE HU with an xCarLink.

My 2c on the xCarLink: Good addition but wouldnt have it if i didnt have to replace the speakers for an aftermarket headunit.

Your probably lucky haven't started distorting on stock HU, your pretty lucky. I have a few friends (including myself) who have distortion even with the stock HU.
