Head Units

[Stranger ranger]

I'm looking to upgrade my factory single cd head unit to a factory 6 disc head unit. Not sure if all of the 6 disc are bose or not. Does it matter if they are? Would those plug into my factory single cd wiring? The single cd just looks to plain for as nice as the truck is and I just wanna clean it up somewhat. I'm going to be adding the steering wheel controls as well, but thats down the road. I coudnt find the EXACT truck i wanted, but with a little know how and other stock parts, I can make it however I want to. The head unit doesn't have to be a bose unit, but if it will work, woudnt it generally produce a better sound? I"m upgrading the speakers as well. Not to factory bose, but with something thats a few steps above factory.

i find it hard to believe that no one knows.

I'll chime in here.

Pretty sure all the radios have the same plugs at the back for our trucks (GMT 900).

I think the radios all are capable of being Bose or non Bose based on how it is programmed from the factory or with the Tech2 at the dealer. I am pretty sure I read on here that all of the radios have an internal amplifier that is set on low or high output based on if the radio drives the speakers directly or connected to the Bose amp.

But I have a GMT800

Whoops, missed that. I have not read much about GMT800 radio swaps. Probably some stickied threads on that here.
