Ferrari 612's Bose Media System Accompaniment (Update - Pic on Page 2)
Through a unique collaboration extending from automotive design labs all the way to the Fiorano test track, the new Ferrari 612 Scaglietti will come standard with a custom-designed sound system from Bose. Both companies believe that the combination of these two worldrenowned brands will appeal strongly to Ferrari customers.
Bose brings a unique systems approach to automotive audio, one that goes beyond conventional technology or thinking. Since the design of every vehicle can affect sound differently, the engineers analyzed each model’s layout and acoustics.
Then they customize circuitry, design our own signal processing and select the optimal placement for our small high-performance speakers.
Simplification it’s the cornerstone of the Bose media system. They combined familiar design and consistency for a faster, easier level of driver interaction.
With a universally recognized two-**** setup, basic functions—volume, tuning—are already intuitive. And FM/AM, CD, satellite radio and hard-drive content are all controlled the same way: Rotate the outer **** to display genre or disc, then rotate the inner **** to pick a station or song. If you understand one function, you also understand the res

Navigation
Comprehensive navigation—less complication. With the system’s basic concentric *****, users can select points of interest the same way they control entertainment options.
Responsive Bose technologies enhance the infotainment experience, from FM quality to overall operation. So there’s less time searching and selecting—and more time enjoying.
The finest visuals and materials, from the feel and movement of the concentric ***** to the elegant display. Refined, attractive, yet always functional and easy to understand.
Bose technologies reduce unwanted radio noise and interference while the system receives signals via dual radio antennas. The result is dependable, quality FM radio broadcasts.
Today’s essential portable media—Bluetooth® communications, iPod®, USB 2.0—connect effortlessly. And Bose technologies work efficiently with your devices, giving you easier access and less to think about.

I've noticed that NOBODY on the internet likes Bose. It seems like every time the name Bose is mentioned not one person has anything good to say about them. Why is Bose so lowly regarded? My dad has a Bose system in his Maxima, and I thought it sounded good, at least as good (if not better) as the Nakamichi in my GS400

It's safe to say the Bose system in the Ferrari is of much higher quality than those found in Nissans. I wouldn't knock it until hearing it. Even a sorry brand makes a good product now and then. Personally I think the knock on Bose is more the fact that they're overpriced and over marketed rather than the sound quality. They're not the best, but make a half decent product by most people's ears.
As for the Maxima's Bose being better than the Nak in the GS400... you must have some blown speakers or bad source CDs thetopdog.

Bose makes different systems for different cars and many are really cheap and crappy. My uncle had a Bose system in his Pontiac Grand Prix that sounded like utter crap and had numerous problems and it was definitely not the same system or even in the same league as the one in the TL and CL which sounds pretty good, especially for a stock system. I am sure GM just asked them for a really cheap system because they did not want to pay for any high quality expensive system but wanted something with the Bose name on it to offer to its customers.
I know that Bose speakers are overpriced and overated but they are not worthless complete utter peices of cheap junk like many say they are, there are just better and often less expensive alternatives that sound and perform much better. Some of the older larger Bose speakers were highly rated and sounded very good compared to the competition. I know some people with Bose systems and they are happy with them but there are better less expensive alternatives now. I am sure Bose has the know how to design and make a very good sounding high end system to put in a new Ferrari and won't just stick some cheap peice of junk like they do on many GM cars.
