Well...no doubt, "Shrade" has a way to get an AUX input to a Bose Gold control head and I admire his persistence, but you're still stuck with that unit's crappy electronics, no balance control and a 20-year old (or more) CD player.

Keep in mind that the Bose part of the "Delco-Bose Gold" is the 50W (25W early models) amp/speaker assemblies at each corner of the car, and the Delco part is the control head and the divorced tuner. The latter-mentioned parts are the substandard pieces.

You eliminate both of those and gain an AUX input, a balance control and modern electronic design by going to the Pioneer unit Zip Products sells in it's late-C4 sound system upgrade kit.
