Swapping-out the BOSE questions...
My son is about to swap out his Bose for an aftermarket HU over the coming weekend. We have the HU, Schoshe OEM Amp, GM antenna adapter, GM harness connector, the mounting kit from Installer-Data and everything else we "think" we need including the OEM shop manuals and the tech tips for fixing the DTC's in the CCM.
There is one area that we're not clear on. What happens to the receiver behind the glove-box? Does it get left alone (and wired in)? I know we have to remove and extend the antenna. My son has a antenna-bypass switch wired into the current circuit which controls the antenna rising (or not) when the radio is turned on - I believe that will continue to work without mod. It almost appears that the Schoshe takes care of the receiver - is that correct?? We just want to be sure before we start.
Thanks in advance for any help (or pointer - searches in various forums hasn't produced a clear answer as yet).

i just did that install tonight, you will pull out that reciever behind the glove bock, thats where you plug in your wire adapter, so you need to extend all of your wires to reach from your head unit to where the old reciever was behind the glove box, your antenna lead is on that as well. did you say you have the scosche bose adapter? if you are still gonna run your bose speakers with your new head unit you will need that converter. Basically your new deck will pump out wattage for the speakers, but your old stock reciever just pumped out a signal, the amplifiers are at each speaker, that converter changes your new deck's speaker signals to a low current RCA signal so that your bose amps can handle it.
