    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.

    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!
