Bose system activation

I have been told that the additional amplifiers in the Bose system are included in every A4 regardless of whether you ordered the Bose, meaning that the only difference between the two stereo systems is that the amplifier has been activated on the Bose system.

Is this true?

Thanks!

Don't know for sure, but I doubt it. Speakers are different too.

There is also an EXTRA speaker in the driver's side door for the handsfree cell phone kit...

I truly doubt this "rumor" has any validity.

Re: Bose system activation

Perhaps he got a few facts twisted since the head unit is indeed the same? Would not explain the lack of speakers in the rear doors though.
Has any non-bose tried setting the stereo to bose mode with a vag-tool? If so, what happened?
