Im tryin to sell my Alpine 620 to this kid with a L Sedan. It has the tape deck and a cd slot on the radio it self, does this radio have a changer plug in the back? Can it control the changer?


I finally found this forum again! Cool Aid

It has a tape deck and a cd slot? That means the deck he has is probably aftermarket as they never made a factory CD deck for the 2nd Gen Legend.

You changer will work if he's deck is also alpine, if not, then no.

Naw, this was a factory Bose. It has a Tape deck like the Premium head unit the LS had but ad the botton it has a cd slot and its one unit. First time I ever saw this unit and Ive seen my share of legends, I got 4 in my family alone.
It says Bose but it doenst have Premium on it. And I believe his model is a 94 L cuz it has leather but no heat to the seats and no power seat in the passenger side.

Anybody seen this head unit before?

Post a pic. May be the unit out of a Vigor.

It can be done, I have a Sony in my sedan, and it had the Bose system. I also upgraded the speakers in the doors with JBL's.
Anything can be done....just ask

if Im not mistaken the Bose amp still works with any radio you install. make sure to connect your AMP Switch wire on the Sony to your antenna wire on the cars harness or else the unit wont play a cd. I had this happen to me I felt like a DIKK when I had to call fukkin Trouble Shoot. I have Boston Acoustics and Xplode rears.

Hey guys, yall have the L right, the non premium bose. OK heres the scoop, i have an L and a GS. IN the L the amp is in the head unit, in the LS and GS, it is seperate. So in the L the speakers are at 4 ohms, so all of us wit the L have it easy, we can keep the bose speakers and just add a head unit. (Hey, do you have a bose w/ tape and CD, or is it aftermarket) if its aftermarket alpine, or factory bose you should be able to add a changer to that.

I know that the 96-98 TL have a similar bose headunit with an in dash cd player and tape and maybe he or the previous owner swapped it out from one of those cars. I was thinking of doing the same also.

 

[legend4life]

yeah i have teh L sedan, with the non premium BOSE unit (NO CD)
good to know i dont have to change anything or worry about the bose amp. thanks guys

Your welcome. Like Leon said, anything can be done all it takes is $$$$$$$$$$$$$. BTW, dont ever pay a shop for an install. Find a friend and have them help you. Its not that hard. Ive done two systems and am workin on a third. Its gonna be about 1500 watts when im finished. im probably need a cap. anyway, i would be happy to help anyone in this area do their system. If your in OK give a hit, i love car audio.
peace
