My 2004 225 Coupé has the chorus audio with 6 cd changer.
I would like to add in Bose components if possible.
Anyone got experience / knowledge to assist me in this area? :)

I,ve discovered that the Bose has a separate amplifier to power additional speakers, but this is with the Concert head. I,m unsure if I can connect in the Bose amp and speakers onto my Chorus head or do I need to replace all parts?
Chorus II like this one:

Sure, that support BOSE. I had this unit from factory with 6 disk changer and BOSE.

Although I admire the OEM retrofit, this seems to be a lot of work! So TBH the head unit is about the only thing that doesn't have to change... :oops:

You can get better sounding systems for a lot less than retrofitting bose

Ive got that exact system fitted now - TBH it doesn't sound brilliant probably owing to the old technology so I'd save your time and money trying to retrofit BOSE!
