C6 Bose 6 cd to Eclipse 6600

I have a 08 3LT with the 6cd radio...

I am going to put a Eclipse AVN 6600 in there. What adapters will I need?

I took this Eclipse out of another vehicle and retained most of those wiring harnesses (will they work)

I hope the steering wheel control interface still works...

Thanks for your help...

The Metra GMOS-04 is also one that has been used a lot of late.

Your steering wheel module should still work, you'll just have to dig out the instructions from the manufacturer's site as to which wires you'll have to connect it to in the car.

I hope you have ALL of the Eclipse harnesses, otherwise you're gonna have trouble, cause those aren't easily replaced.

I went to a good audio shop yesterday and here is what they quoted me for...

GM Interface GMOS-LAN-02 $174.99
Antenna Adaptor $12.95
Install Kit $24.95
Shop Supplies $6
Labor $200

Total $435.31

seems a bit high

Also turns out I need a new GPS antenna (The original one lost the plug in adaptor)

Swapping a head unit isn't all that difficult, you may want to consider DIY if you're cost-sensitive.

As far as the Eclipse harnesses go, they're Eclipse-specific so it's not an off-the-shelf item.

With summer being here I am consumed with other projects with hops in them...

I have not had the time to tear into this..

unfortunately this car is a lease car so I will be putting the 6cd back in when I turn the car back.
