Default No they are not. The radios may look the same however, They are differant animals.

The Bose uses external amps to power the speakers. The gamma's ampage is in the radio. They are not interchangable. For this reason if you have a gamma and want an aftermarket deck it is a simple install. If you have a bose you run into wiring problems and have to switch out the bose speakers for aftermarket ones in some cases. Been down that road and not fun.

Default Hmm...A Gamma CC is the OE UrS4 Audi/Bose head unit. Were you thinking Delta?

Default The OE Gamma CC UrS4 radio is Audi/Bose. If it doesn't say Audi/Bose and its a Gamma then....

Nope, that is not it. No "Audi/Bose". No "Mode" (to control the CD changer). Wrong one.

Default Exactly... I should have been more specific. Audi made the same radio for bose and non bose systems

(@ least in appearance) The regular Gamma CC was made for 100 s 90s soforth. The Audi Bose CC was made for the S4 CS etc...
Sorry if my responce was a little confusing.
