BOSE System

Description

A sophisticated 'Bose' HI FI system with special speakers and an outside amplifier is available on request.

The system has been developed ad hoc for the vehicle: the acoustic properties of the passenger compartment have been carefully studied so that the amplifier and the speakers are perfectly suited to the vehicle: the sound is excellent throughout the passenger compartment.

Unlike the system fitted as standard, the Bose systme includes:

• coaxial loudspeakers in the front doors (with incorporated tweeters)
• coaxial rear loudspeakers (with incorporated tweeters) on the rear side panel;
• rear subwoofer loudspeaker;
• BOSE amplifier, located in the boot compartment.

The other components are as on the radio system.

• radio (various versions are available)
• radio supply cables
• leads connecting the radio to the speakers;
• fishpole antenna with base mounted on the rear of the roof, coaxial cable and supply cable for aerial amplifier.

For everything concerning the basic system, See E3510 RADIO.

It is also possible to install a sophisticated Hi Fi system equipped with specific high fidelity loudspeakers with external amplifier See E3510 RADIO.

Description

The radio is a node on the CAN network through which it exchanges information with the Body Computer and the other electronic units.

The radio receives the vehicle ignition signal via the CAN network, and is controlled in accordance with the following logic:

• if the radio is on and the car is switched off, so is the radio;
• if the car is switched on and the radio had been on previously, the radio stays on;
• if the car is switched on and the radio had been off previously, the radio stays off;
• if the radio is left on with the ignition off, it is automatically switched off after 20 minutes;

The radio has an anti-theft system made by connecting the radio on the CAN network to the Body Computer.

When the new radio is fitted on a vehicle, the connection is made with the Body Computer which asks for the radio code: this code, supplied by the radio manufacturer, is entered using the numerical keys, the Body Computer memorises this code and checks it whenever the radio is switched on.

The radio also manages the volume control linked to the vehicle speed: there is an increase and decrease in volume in accordance with the vehicle speed: this information reaches the radio node via the CAN.

Some versions have a set of buttons on the steering wheel: these make is possible to 'duplicate' some commands which are acquired in the same way by the radio.

A multi-pole cable connecting the radio to the CD player, located in the boot, on the left hand side, may be fitted on request.
