Default 92 receiver

I am trying to find out if the 3 different options of stereo had the same radio receiver unit ( not head unit ) fitted . I want to convert from bose cd system ( fitted at factory ) to standard non-bose ( i have a head unit ) but it blows a fuse when switched on.Thanks.

Bose cassette and Bose cassette/cd used the same receiver, wiring harness and speakers.

Delco/non bose head unit used a different receiver box wiring harness and speaikers.

Do you mean the harness is different or the receiver AND harness is different between bose and non-bose ? I do not mind rewiring the receiver unit as long as it will work with the non-delco head unit . Thanks.

Default receiver box

the receiver box looks different as well. The non-Bose has a "fin" type end on it and the Bose is squared off. I'll look for some pictures.

These schematics are from a 90.

It appears the harness from the control head and the receiver are the same for either Bose or non Bose except the non Bose doesn't need to have the Bose relay wired.

The Bose and non Bose used different receivers and also a different harness from the receiver to the speakers. Looks like you may be able to move some pins of the Bose speaker harness at the receiver speaker connectors and make it work with the non Bose speakers.

This schematic shows the Bose and non Bose wiring harness to the receivers are the same.



This schematic shows the non Bose receiver wiring to the speakers.




This schematic shows the wiring from Bose receiver to Bose speakers.

Here's one on E-bay.

You need to research what CDM will work with your head unit.
There seems to be alot of different part numbers.

I don't see any info saying the receiver/CDM listed below will work with a Corvette Delco radio.
