Have you tried using different audio sources? To compare the QX60 Bose system to a 2003 Honda Accord is a little ridiculous. It will work much better with CD's if you haven't tried that yet. I rarely see anyone complain about the audio in the QX60, much less compare it to a 12 year old Honda. Are you sure you have the Bose system? It will come in the premium package, so if you have a base model it will not have it. Unless you had a ton of aftermarket audio components in your Honda, I think this post is a little exaggerated.
