Buying another JDM RX8 Spirit R. Need to swap the aftermarket head unit with Bose
Hey guys! So I'm planning on buying another Spirit R. Problem is this one didn't come with the Bose. It has a Japanese head unit that looks really crappy and out of place. I love the stock look, so I was wondering if I could buy a US factory Bose head unit and retrofit? Will that work? I looked around eBay to find the Bose speakers but I couldn't find any S2 systems. I only found S1s. Would the S1 speakers work? I'm talking complete with the amp and mic.
I just want a stock look. Other cars have stock looking android head units but I couldn't find anything like that for the 8. I'd be happy to do that if there is a product like that for our cars.
Thanks!
