Still looking for a way to run at least an AUX audio source (with Bluetooth preferred) for music in the 986S.

I’m not interested in replacing with a non-factory headset isn’t an option. I want to keep the original look but with updated tech. Ideas appreciated.

Take a look at the Continental radio. It looks OEM and has Bluetooth.

That indeed looks fantastic. If it connects to the Bose harness, I'm IN.

Thanks for the lead!

You are welcome. I have no idea if it does work with the Bose system but reading through that thread, someone linked to a harness that does connect to the MOST system.

Yeah, I came across that on their site. I'm now waiting on my inquiry to their service desk but if they give the Bose the green light I'll be doing this ASAP.
