bad news, that headunit will blow itself, and or the speakers connected to your car.

You need different wiring, and speakers to replace a bose setup with aftermarket.


Sorry  :'(

You don't want a 2005, they are weak and not suitable for Bose.

Not all 2006's are Bose supported either, ideally you want a NCDC 2013/2015

  yes but will need to swap red and yellow over  :y

NO if you are using an aftermarket h/u you will have to replace all the speakers as they are only 2ohm and bypass the amp  :( then you can use the speaker plug in h/u  :y

problem with bypassing the bose amp and wiring the speakers to a aftermarket unit, is they sound crap, not even half as good as normal speakers as they aint amplified. best bet do a complete change of the audio bits!!

The BOSE speakers are incorrect impedance for an aftermarket head unit and MUST be changed
