Default C6 Wiring Harness Question

I know people have said the GMCO wiring harness will work with a C6 without Onstar and the Bose unit. Does anyone know whether the Metra GMRC-02 will also work? Thanks!

Don't remember seeing that one being used before, but it appears to be the non-onstar version of the GMOS-04, which does work. But sorry, can't give you anything more definitive than that.

Thanks guys. If anyone has information, please let me know! I just got the Metra GMRC-02 in the mail today, but don't want to go through the trouble of opening the dash if it's not compatible.

I don't want to take any chances so I'm going to go ahead and order either the Metra GMOS-04 or the Periperhal GMCO. Which one is more highly recommended? My C6 does not have Onstar or the Bose system

Thanks!

no, that will not work, it is for non amplified class II radios whereas the GMOS-04 is for amplified.

Both retain onstar

btw, I recomend the GMOS-04. It gives you both VSS wire, and Reverse wire in the harness

just make sure that if you get the GMOS-04 it has a "06/07" marked on the the front of the label.

There was a metra send back on all those parts due to a failure in the module. It has since been corrected, and all "new" modules have the "06/07" on the front

Just as any FYI - the Corvette class II radios are non-amplified(base & Bose both). That doesn't mean the GMOS-02 will work of course. And having the reverse & VSS wires in the harness are more than worth $20 to my mind.
