ok... I am posting this link to help...

but what is the question?

Link 1: C4 Guru - Headunit Removal, 1990-1996

Link 2: C4 Audio FAQ

Link 3: Corvetteforum Audio Forum

Questions like this belong in Audio/Electronics. It also helps to know what the problem is.

There really isn't much of a difference between doing an aftermarket system with or without bose.

Oh, I know why.

You are messing with the wrong harness. Which means you didn't READ the C4 Audio FAQ .

The harness attaches to the receiver module. You have to disconnect the harness there and attach the aftermarket harness at that point. The head unit in these cars is a total dummy. It is simply a display and tape/CD handler. For that matter, you can install the Bose Gold CD head into a stock Delco system, cause the real difference is in the receiver module, which feeds the bose signal, versus a convention highlevel signal.
