Default c4 bose to nonbose

I have a '90 with the factory bose system. I would like to keep the original head unit and replace the bose receiver with a nonbose receiver and regular speakers. Will the bose head plug in and work with the nonbose receiver?

(Admittedly, nobody will find this info by searching the FAQ. Which is why it continues to be asked regularly.)

I just wanted to double check, because the FAQ section did not seem 100% sure.
