Default Does this thing REALLY work? PAC-AUDIO ROEM-VET1

I am swapping out Head Units and because of time and expense, don't really want to rip out the entire stereo system.

I saw this on a thread somewhere here, but don't see anything recent.

Does anyone know if this thing REALLY does allow you to maintain your existing amplified BOSE system and speakers and properly interface with the an aftermarket head unit, without damage to the components, and in a plug & play configuration?

Would apprecaite any replies/opinions/personal experiences with this device.

Thanks

I got mine from crutchfield.com. They are a reputable dealer and I have purchased from them 2 times before with no problems. They have a search tool that will allow you to put your exact year, make, and model in so that you know you're getting the right part.

Here's what I found for mine:

I have one installed on my car.......... I really didn't like the way it made the stock Bose speakers sound. It might have been adjusted wrong........ I first had no bass at all, then when the installer got the bass to work the sound was not good. I finally replaced all the speakers , and had to leave the harness in to power the stereo, but not using the speaker outputs. I did this so not to have to buy another adaptor and since the installer all ready had the stereo installed i let him keep most of the wiring ( ie power etc).

I would say buy another brand like soundgate, just my opinion. I'm not sure why mine sounded bad but it did...... If you are going to replace speakers then only part of the harness is needed, and that part should work fine.

have a good one Tim

Crutchfield says that unit won't fit my 01 z06, but recommends this one...http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hPMDRMi...00&I=120701858

This is a confusing process!
