Was your unit the premium Bose (it will say Premium on the front) or the standard Bose? I have been able to find out that a lot of the Bose units installed in differant auto makes have a history of bad solder joints on the main board. If the unit has bulbs for the display, and they don't work,, it is a easy fix. If it is a vacuum tub display, it is a part replacement problem. That's why I'm trying to find out which display the Premium has. What confuses me is I have read that the Bose and the Premium Bose are the same head,, only the amps are different.
Was the Ebay unit from a private party or a repair shop?

Normally radio heads don't ware-out,, if they go 2 or 3 years (assuming no moisture problems), they will go for ever. Tape decks, CDs, amps (heat), and bulbs do.

Thanks for your post
