It's in the Haynes manual, all you need - but in small print!

I got my Haynes from ebay.  There is currently one available from a top rated seller with a buy-it-now price of £1 plus £1.65 p&p. 

It only covers pre-facelifts (there isn't one for facelifts) but it's fine for most things.

Picking up a Haynes manual (£5 on ebay) is the best option.

Although I really don`t agree with them, I can understand the argument for retro fitting the BOSE system into an Omega, but for the love of God, why on earth would you want to try to fit this into something else? Apart from the system being designed for the accoustic enclosure and cabin of the Omega, the sound quality from the 20 year old sytem is not a patch on what you can pick up today for not many bucks.

I would seriously rethink your strategy, BOSE in a Non-Omega, really isn`t worth the effort !!

Nothing wrong with an escort my friend . . .

But would strongly suggest to sell the BOSE system to an Omega lover with impaired hearing (no other reason for wanting BOSE nowadays), and use the money to buy something better for the Ford
