Bose In 350z (2002 Year) - Will A Newer Bose Head Unit Be Ok?

[imprator]

Hi.

I have a faulty head unit in my 2002 350Z. It's a Japanese import vehicle, with a factory-fitted Bose stereo - the same, I believe, as fitted to UK cars.

The head unit has a problem with skipping CDs and I would like to replace it - without paying for a new one! I can source Bose head units for more recent 350's, but I understand that the Bose stereo was replaced by a different design in 2003 so I need one that pre-dates that change. However, I am wondering how much work would be involved in fitting a head unit from a 2003 & onwards car?

If anyone knows what my options might be (other than buying a new unit from Nissan) I would appreciate the advice.

Thanks.

Err...you did say how to replace it, without buying a new unit from NISSAN??
