Simple answer mine does, but it is Bose 6 disk changer. Just pull it out and check; it only takes 5 minutes.

Output or input? You may be correct on the output, but I believe that you could hook up an iPod in the rear with the right adapter from peripheral I think is how you spell it. They made mine, and according to the geek squad guys at best buy if it says cd/aux you can do it.

You take off the front dash and you unscrew the radio... AND STOP THE DAMN YELLING.

1) procure Philips head screw driver, ratcheting screw driver, or drill (go with the drill it's quicker)
2) locate and remove 8-12 screws underneath dashboard (I never really counted them)
- this removes the bottom piece of plastic
3) next locate and remove the screws around the center head unit (if there are any) as well as unplug your heater controls and 12V outlets
- this removes the center head unit faceplate
4) now remove the screws holding the stereo in place, slide out radio, and unplug the connections (including the antenna) from the rear
5) finally now that the stereo has been disconnected you should be able to pull it on out

It's been a few months since I've don this, but this is the general procedure.

I don't understand what the radio would have to do with the DVD player? The DVD player goes through the wireless headphones and the wired jack in the rear console.

When I ordered mine, I went with the non-Bose CD/Tape player radio and the DVD player.

Now that I think about it, I have a spare CD/Tape player radio in the garage somewhere. I'll have to go look later :coffee:

My 6 disc Bose did not have an external input or output. I would have had to buy a separate module for it.

I honestly can't figure what job uses a computer and forces you to use all caps. Emergency dispatch? What sort of equipment receives your messages? (If you can share....)

I did some work for a local truck salvage yard a while back. All of their computers had caps lock turned on. I had accessed a couple and instinctively turned it off. The employees there didn't know what to do when the letters didn't come up on the screen in caps.
