Nissan Rogue Premium Bose vs Factory Audio system?
I test drove Rogue and liked it but I it gets expensive with options which I want to cut down. The only thing which matters to me is premium sound. Now I listened to the Bose installed and it was not what I was expecting it (not as good as Harmon Kardon in my beamer). Than I also listened to the factory stereo on another Rogue and it was pretty decent. I would really like to know if you are satisfied with the Bose in Rogue? If you have to say anything about the audio system in Rogue I would like to hear it. If the Bose doesn't sound that spectacular than I can settle with the base system. Thank You.

Thanks to XM, for the past two weeks I thought the Bose in my new Rogue was busted. I knew XM's channels sucked little green ones, but I've been amazed at the tinny, puny, and pathetic sound of the Rogue's Bose. I figured it had something to do with the smaller cabin of the Rogue and let it go.
Until last night. I finally thought to put in a freshly-burned CD. It had Sinead O'Connor's "Downpressor Man" on it. I heard instruments and nuances that I hadn't heard on home or work system, or even on Sirius Disorder where I had originally heard song; the Rogue's Bose just blew me away.
So it's been frickin' XM the entire time. And the Bose is definitely worth it, IMHO. If you haven't bought a Rogue yet, take your favorite CD to the dealership and try it for yourself. Please don't let XM guide you to Bose or factory. (Hate to sound like a 1950s B-grade sci-fi warning siren, but the tinny, puny, pathetic sound is coming from ...doo-doo-doo-doo, XM...) :shades:
I relly don't like my 06 XTrail radio.
Will the Bose unit from a 2009 or 2010 Rogue fit?
I can get one cheap.
I know. You're thinking, What's an XTrail?
It's like a 2/3 size Pathfinder.

The XTrail is still available everywhere but North America.
It was also sold in Canada in 05 & 06.
XTrail continues to be the largest selling mid-sized SUV in the world.
They have been in production for about 10 years.
Very popular in Austrailia and the U.K.
You can even find them in Mexico, Aruba and throughout Aisia.
