    Has anyone changed out the OEM radio with an aftermarket radio?

    I would like to keep it as simple as possible. I do not want to add more amps or change out the factory speakers.

    Have you heard of a wiring harness that may just plug right into the factory harness?

    Any help would be great.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you're not changing amps, speakers, etc...., then WHY are you changing the Ferrari radio????

    I would be adding a unit with a small LCD screen on it and also add a back-up camera.

    I'd rather do it myself but I was just wondering if there was a company out there that made a wiring harness for the car.

    Does anyone know where I can get a diagram of the wiring for the radio?

    With the Bose option, I don't see the need to change out the unit.

    In my opinion changing or adding audio to a Ferrari is not a good idea at all, an Escalade with 28" wheels etc is ok but in a F not for me ....

    Well that is your opinion and my opinion I would change out the factory radio. If Ferrari had an option to have a radio in the car with a small LCD screen and back up camera input then guess what. I wouldn't be changing it. I might also add another camera for the front, so that I don't mess up the front.



    People it is just a radio, I am not cutting the car up, the factory radio and be placed back in, if I ever decide to sell the car. I hope that you people give your opinion when people change there wheels on the car.... BTW... I did that to. HRE wheels and they look great!
