Combining the likes of AM/FM and a CD player - as well as XM Satellite Radio - in 5.1-channel surround sound is just the very beginning. The Bose Media System also supports DVD (audio and video), Super Audio CDs, MP3s, AAC and pretty much all formats available on recordable CDs and DVDs.

It also features a built-in GPS navigation system, Bluetooth, a USB 2.0 input and of course iPod connectivity and control via the display. Oh right, and a built-in hard-drive that allows for 200-hours of playback time. (No word on whether it has XM NavTraffic - it would seem appropriate.)

...and then there's the interface.

The familiar two-knob interface is the center of the whole system, once control one aspect (like volume, and channel selection) and you know how to control it all. With a built-in proximity sensor, as soon as you go to reach for the outter knob, the system sense your hand and changes to show only the most relevant info.

The Bose Media System also features a "uMusic" intelligent playback system. As you listen to tunes off the harddrive, just press the button to indicate your mood, and the system will learn and adapt to fit your emotions.

Price? If you have to ask, then you can't afford it. But the Bose Media System debuts this year in the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, so just bag one of those and save yourself the trouble of installation.
