need help with 05 c6 nav and added amp
I pulled the aftermarket stereo out of my c6 and I'm putting the original HU back in. The only thing I'm going to keep is the amp and speakers. It's been a while since I worked on the stereo and I'm having some trouble trying to hook the amp up.
I had the pac-audio C2R-GM24 for the aftermarket to have RAP and make the remote turn on easy, but I can't hook that up to the stock unit. What part do I need to have RAP and remote turn on. I looked at the other pac audio stuff and can't figure out which one to get. Is there another option that I'm missing?
Thanks

You don't need an adapter for an oem HU. The big plug that the C2RGM24 is currently plugged in to will fit into the rear of the oem radio.
If you want to keep the aftermarket amp/speaker setup you'll have to make THIS HARNESS

Thanks for the reply. I realize I don't need an adapter for the stock unit to work, but I do need one for the after market amp. I've seen that post before but my question is will that allow RAP and have the remote switch for the amp.

RAP - yes, radio will function just like oem
Amp trigger - yes if you tap wire at B3 to use it as trigger. However, the amp will be on whenever the car may want to play a chime, and those chimes will be amped. I'm currently using the oem HU in my car with aftermarket amp/speakers. I put in the Add-GM24 harness, but I also spliced in a C2R-GM24 box to use it as the chimes (rear signals feed amped fronts) and amp trigger.
