C5 Memory Driver's Convenience Package" (option AAB) vs. audio system changes
I am evaluating what, if anything, I want to do to improve my car's ('02 Z06) OEM Bose audio system. Part of this evaluation is how any changes to the audio system will affect other OEM electronic functions.
I bought the car to enjoy its fabulous power-train, handling, and performance...not for its audio potential (though, I wouldn't mind having Bluetooth conveniences for hands free calling and streaming of music, but that is a different topic of conversation than this thread).
My car has the "Memory Driver's Convenience Package" (option AAB). Per the owner's manual: "MEMORY can store and recall the settings for the...radio presets, tone, volume, playback mode (AM/FM, tape or CD), last displayed station...".
I assume that most if not all of the Memory Package audio functions, as described in the manual, will be lost if the factory radio unit is replaced with an after-market one (example: Kenwood, Alpine, etc.) even when using OEM factory wiring harness adapters (so that no factory wires are cut). Please advise. Thanks!
