Navi Options w/ Bose

[05.5SilverS4]

Im a long time troller and just now decided to register and become a part of the zine! Ive been searching as i figure out what i want to do to my ride and have a couple questions.

I want navi and love the RNS-E system but am thinking itd be better to go with a Pioneer Double Din unit, can this be adapted with my bose system? I know i can get some steering wheel control adapters to make those work so thats no problem.

Also side note, 18's or 19's? I dont want to have shitty ride quality but have 18's stock...

all the choices...

I have a Pioneer F900BT connected to my Bose system. I originally used an adapter that connected the Bose amp to the preamp outputs on the Pioneer, but I got a really bad hum when the headlights were on, so I got a line-level converter instead and now the sound is great (well, for Bose anyway lol)

Thank you, that is exactly the model i was thinking about as i can get it for ~$600 (I own a car audio website). Do you have a sub in your car? I am afraid of putting in my 13W7 because i dont want to rattle everything loose.

no love for Kenwood double din ? I had their top on the line model about 5 years ago and loved it.

RNS-E was too expensive for me and aftermarket unit is not cheap either and does not really look OEM, so I went with this route:

No sub yet. I have two sets of Pioneer components (the ones made with Basalt fiber) and the Pioneer shallow 8" sub just laying around, but havent decided if Im actually going to install them yet. Some days I'm satisfied with the Bose, and other days it leaves me disappointed.
