I need to tell the dealer the code to "enable" the fader. Yeah it's phony in a way butI just want to hear the difference. I'm willing to believe that I'll like it.
1. What is the code ?
2. Does this code also have other "side effects" on other parts of the car (windows etc)?
3. What is the default code in case he screws it up and I don't like it?
The old posts are RIFE with conflicting information.
Accuracy, pretty Please!

Bose code is 00017.

Breakdown of number (12345) is:

1. Country code. 0 is standard.

2. Sound matching. 0 is only value mentioned.

3. # of passive speakers.
0 - No passive speakers (Bose).
1 - Passive speaker (Bose w/Phone).
2 - Passive front and 2 active rear
5 - Passive front and no active rear.

4. Type of adjustment.
0 - Standard.
1 - Bose.

5. Radio Configuration
1 - Antenna
3 - Antenna and CD Changer
5 - Antenna and Secondary Display (NAV)
7 - Antenna, CD Changer, NAV

If you want the fader to work, plus maintain BOSE, code your radio to: 00217. See above for the functions. If you want to try to code it to non-Bose, change the "1" to "0", and you'll get the "super bass" (bass and treble to +/- 6 vs. 5)

I've got mine coded to 00217. This allowed me to splice into the rear lo-out puts to connect to my amp. I use the fader to control the "rear" (that's my bass tube and rear tweeters). Front is all the stock stuff.

Hope this helps!

Try the coding I posted above, just remember your original coding in case it doesn't work
