I'm looking for a Bose RX8 head unit with 9.55 or higher firmware I don't care if it is a single CD, mp3, or 6 CD changer. You can check the firmware by turning the stereo on to FM radio and press the "text" button while pushing the preset key "1" button at the same time and the firmware will appear on the display.

I'm willing to pay $200 or to swap in one of my 100% functional head units into your car if required, I have a single CD and the 6 CD changer.

 

i have a head unit, its already out of my car is there any other way to tell?

 

not that im aware of do you know when your cars built? i know the firmware im looking for should be in a late build 04 to around 06

 

Yea it was built in 04

 

the build date was 04 or its an 04 model? sorry i'm being so picky about this i already bought one head unit that was promised to be an 06 which ended up being older than my current 04 head unit

 

I have got one with vers. 9.82. What is the benefits? Do either of your head units of sirius? And mine is a bose unit.

 

My car is an 04

 

certain aftermarket input devices require the head unit firmware to be no earlier than 9.55.

I'm asking the manufacturer to confirm that 9.82 will in fact work, do you currently have and use the Sirius radio?

Just got word back and yes 9.82 works

 

solved my problem
