B7 Bose Radio
Hi,
My 03 A4 radio (Symphony II) is not working anymore so I installed an early B7 Symphony II into my B6 with Bose speakers.
Can anyone with a B7 Bose system (Symphony II) please tell me if the radio still displays "BOSE" for a sec or two when powered on? I don't have it on mine and I'm not sure if I have to configures the unit again for the BOSE system since it might have lost the BOSE setting when I installed it. Or maybe the new units just doesn't show "BOSE" anymore. Thanks!!!
Standard/Bose and other configuration modes
You can program the Symphony II radio to use either the standard or the Bose equalization setting, as well as a few other basic configurations. This requires the use of a VAG-1551, VAG-1552 or equivalent scan tool (See VAG-COM or ProDiag). Knowledge of the usage of such a scan tool is assumed.
1. Connect scan tool to the car's OBD-II diagnotic port.
2. Turn on ignition and radio, select Radio Controller in scan tool.
3. The radio shows "DIAG" in the display.
4. Select "Recode Module". You may enter a 5-digit code according to the table below. For example, "00007" is a standard setting while "00017" is a Bose setting, both with CD changer and secondary display.
5. Turn off radio and ignition, disconnect scan tool.
6. Turn on radio to hear the effects. In Bose mode, the radio display will show "BOSE" briefly after turn-on.
