You can also use your radio as extension speakers for the Bose® Lifestyle® music system. Connect one of these components to the right and left AUX IN jacks. Or add powered Bose speakers connected to the right and left VARIABLE OUT jacks. Audio cables for these connections are available at electronics stores, or by calling Bose. Most audio cables are color coded.
