The harness should have come with a little list of what wire goes to what. All you really need is +12V, ignition, power antenna, and ground, since you won't be powering th speakers from that head unit.

I had the same problem.

The adapter worked for me except the switched wire. Apparently the Bose system is turned on by the computer and not a switched power wire. It's just a blank spot in the stock system.

It sounds like you only have the adaptor that came with your alpine deck.
You also should have had to buy a seperate ($15) adaptor for a GM (1997-2002) vehicle (corvette). If you only have the one that came with your deck and the stock harness from your stock deck you are missing another adaptor the ($15) one for GM.
Keep us posted on that one. :lurk: good luck....
