How do i tell which "system" i have? Monsoon or bose?

This is your place for alarms, remote starters, to brag about your system, exaggerate your db levels, or simply ask questions for stock or aftermarket audio. No Flames! (except from roasted amps)

If it's anything like my 04 GXP, when you turn the car on the radio displays the word MONSOON. I'm guessing if it doesn't do that, you don't have it. Also, I believe the Bose says Bose on the speaker covers.

What year, trim do you have? That will help determine as well.

2000-2001 SSEi = Bose
2002-2005 SSEi and GXP = Monsoon

2000-2005 SE/SLE = Delco/Generic radio. Non-amplified.
