How can you tell if you have the bose system
I'm ordering some stuff for my new sound system and I've tried searching but can't find anything. So how can you tell if you have the factory Bose system? Thanks

Open your fold-down rear seats and look at the speakers mounted under the rear parcel shelf. There should be stickers on the magnets; if they say Nokia, then you have non-Bose. If they say Bose; well, then you have Bose. Also, I'm pretty sure the Bose system included a pair of speakers mounted in the rear doors, and there should be Bose badging on the door speaker grilles.
The non-Bose system uses a head unit manufactured by Blaupunkt and speakers and amps manufactured by Nokia (yes, the same Nokia that made that crappy phone you got rid of ten years ago), the Bose system uses speakers and amps manufactured by... yep, Bose. Oh boy.

If it's bose, you'll have speakers on front doors, rear doors, and rear deck (6 in total) +2 tweeters on the front door handle. Your stock HU will also show "BOSE" when you power it on, and the speaker grills around the doors should also have a Bose logo on them too.
