From what I've read, the factory Bose system will create some problems as the method of communication to the amp is different from most aftermarket systems.

I have the low-end stereo option in my 03 S and I'm going with the Alpine CDA-105 head unit when it is released at the end of March. It's a 2009 model and I like the fact that it will control and charge my iPod Touch. The iPod /USB input will be in the glovebox.
I'm also adding an Alpine MRP-F300 4/3/2 channel amp and some Infinity 6020CS component speakers.
