I'm trying the last couple of days to equalize and improve the Bose sound system in my Ariya, from my point of view the bass is a bit toned down and specially the treable is very muddy, aside from that the sound balance is a bit biased to the front (giving less punch to the speakers in the second row and the boot subwoffer).
I still haven't decided yet on my final settings but after some hours of trial and error I have:
Bass +5
Treable +8
Front/Rear balance -1 (to rear)
Compared to stock is a great improvement but I'm still not full settled with the settings yet.
Has anyone tried to adjust it like me? Can someone with some sound knowledge give me advice if those settings are going the right direction or not?
Best Bose sound settings?
This isnt any kind of Bose system and in no means worthy of its own 'Pack'.
Its got no depth and no clarity and just sounds a bit disconected. Fine for talk radio and podcasts but there not much enjoyment for the ears.
I cant believe Bose would stick their moniker on this or why Nissan would implement this in such a poor way apart from it being a blatant con to get more of our hard earned.
There are just one or 2 little things like this that detract from the car as a whole, which is a bit of a shame because its quite a lovely motor overall.

It is a pity you cannot select which items you want with the Tech Pack or more to the point which you don't want. I thought the video rear view mirror might be useful as we sometimes used to load our last car up to the roof when going on holiday. I have aged related stiffening of the lens in my eyes so have excellent long sight but need reading glasses for err reading. As a result, when I am driving I can see the road ahead perfectly but when I then look up at the video mirror my eyes go into a sort unpleasant refocusing mode.
As for the sounds system although I love music all I really use it for is Audiobooks and R4/Times Radio current affairs so the Bose system did not appeal.
What has turned out to be the unexpected star of the show is the Heads Up display which I absolutely love and use all the time hardly ever glancing at where the traditional speedo/rev counter is.
It is a pity I could not have just ordered the HUD although to be fair, at the time it was the video mirror that swung the decision and I thought the HUD might turn out to be a bit of a gimmick.
