Rausche Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 The bose unit is designed to work as a system. Do a search you will find a multitude of information on this topic. If you are going to replace the amp, you also need to replace the speakers, and if you are keeping the stock HU you will need a factory interface like the kenwood KOS-V1000, or an LOC to get a signal from the old bose harness to the new amp. The search button is your very bestest friend right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed a Kenwood double din with USB capabilities and love it! Sound quality is much better then the stock units. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a nice Pioneer Premier HU Sitting in a box in my garage I could use... What adapter Do I need to make all the functions work?? Steering wheel controls... Chimes ect... I do not have On Star on my truck though. And Like I said in my first Post I am getting new speakers getting rid of the bose ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
