I want to replace my broken 6disc cd changer to a MP3 player.
And I have the BOSE system, will this affect anything? Do I just change the disc player or does have a built-in amplifier?

 

They typically plug into the same socket the cd changer plugs into. Whether you remove the existing changer from the chassis is up to you.

 

It won't effect anything. The CD portion is a separate module from the radio, which is either bose or non bose.

 

I swapped from the regular CD player to the mp3 player option with no problems. There are DIYs on how to do this.

 

These guys are right, it should not negatively affect your Bose system. I made the switch from the standard CD player to the MP3 and it works just fine. (assuming you plug everything back in proprely)

 

But what makes BOSE a BOSE system then? No amplifier?

 

the speakers are different then the stock stereo and the BOSE has an amp.

 

The circuitry in the main radio portion itself is different in the Bose, it produces a low level differential signal that gets sent to the Bose amplifier in the trunk, then out to bose speakers. Stock radio produces speaker level outputs that go directly to normal speakers.

 

And the CD player is a separate unit from the main radio head unit so swapping them doesn't affect this.

 

where can we get the mp3 player?

so ^thats a direct swap for the one inside the car...only difference is that it plays mp3 cds?

 

yes sir. Take out the old headunit, unscrew the existing CD player, insert the mp3 cd playing unit, reinstall.

Common misconception is that it is an entirely new headunit, it isn't. Just the cd deck inside the unit.

 

OHHHHHHHH alright ...
