bose radio

[mikejax21]

Well i finally got another q after finding out the hard way i had epilepsy last year. but i want to to install a nice clean input on for my radio. i love the way the bose radio sounds and id like to keep the original look of the car as much as possible. i was wondering if any one has done this before or am i better off ordering a pac adapter and putting in a new head unit

I'm not sure what the CD changer input on your 95 head unit looks like, but if it has one of these two DIN type inputs for the CD changer, you should be able to use it to create an input. Essentially you have to provide 12V to switch the head unit to the auxiliary input, and then the rest is just left and right +/-.

In my opinion, keep it stock!
I did in my '94 and ordered the DIN adapter from Shane on here who makes the cables that connect to the back of the Bose system that creates an "Aux" input. I'm able to play Pandora and all my music directly from my phone, because the DIN adapter connects to RCA inputs which you can connect any audio source to. He also makes one for the Ipod as well (including charging capability I believe). Do a search on here for "Aux input" and you'll find the thread. I have nice clean direct sound (no FM modulators or cassette adapters) and I'm able to keep the stock look. That's my recommendation
