Navigation upgrade
I have a 2011 ZR1 with the base interior and Satellite radio.
I got a great deal on a Bose Navigation system from a 2012 Vette. Nav unit has the USB and Aux plugs. All the bose speakers were included.
No Bose hater comments please.
I got everything so I am moving forward with this just need some detail help.
I first changed the speakers and kept my stock Sat. radio to test the speakers. all worked fine.
I then swapped the stock non-bose for a Bose amp from a 2008 vette .
I got no sound .
Is it because of the year? do I need a Later year?
Is it because the stock radio is not compatible with the bose system?
Appreciate the help.
Oh! one last thing since I have a Satellite radio does that mean I have the GPS antenna that is located under the dash left of the center dash speaker? I have the radio bezel off and I swear I see what looks like the GPS antenna there in the spot it should be in but its hard to see in there so i'm not sure.

I just swapped my 2012 NAV unit out for an aftermarket Pioneer unit. I had the same problem, and found that you have to send a power signal to the Bose AMP, otherwise it will not power on (the amp that is). Not 100% sure what you're problem is, but it sounds like the amp isn't powering on. Take a look here - This might help :
