2003 Bose System And Satellite Radio

[fp7937]

Does anyone know if the 2003 av will be available with the 6 disc/speaker bose system and XM radio? Or will you only get a "normal" stereo system with the XM radio? That Bose system sounds pretty cool and I'd hate to have to give that up in order to get the Xm radio. I know I could get an aftermarket system,but the thought of some 18 yr old tearing my dash apart makes me cringe.

The XM radio (U2K option) is available on either of the new Sound Systems.

"The 2003 Avalanche offers XM Satellite Radio as an option on all models. XM radio features 100 coast-to-coast digital channels, including 71 music channels (more than 30 of them commercial free) from hip hop to opera, classical to country, bluegrass to blues and 29 channels of sports, talk, children's and entertainment programming. XM also brings to the vehicle, for the first time on radio, a diverse selection of 24-hour news sources previously available only in the home. XM's next-generation sound quality technology provides superior sound remarkably close to compact disc."

You would be suprized how fast/easy the dash and radio comes out of the AV. They are modular and the radio can be out of the dash without any tools in about 1 minute.

Very true. I suggest that anyone who still has the factory headunit to activate the Theft-Deterrent feature (page 3-18 AV bible).

I was tempted to remove the dash and check out the new headunit and wiring when I wrote my review recently. I don't think they would have appreciated that very much
