I was told I need PAC os-4 harness to hook up a amp and sub up to a factory Bose on a 2009 Sierra Denali. I have searched for way to long on how to make this work keeping the factory Bose head unit. I bought the PAC and there is no directions on how to keep the stock head unit and hook up a amp and sub. Please someone point me in the right direction. Do I need something else besides the PAC?

I'm trying to do this same thing with my '04 silverado. I am going to need a different interface kit though. I looked up the one you bought on the PAC website and it says it is for Radio replacement. But maybe it can still be used with the factory head unit. It looks in the pic like there are some male RCA plugs. If you can figure out if it is an output you should be able to use them. You can go to walmart or radio shack or anywhere and get a little RCA that is female on both sides. that way if you had RCA outputs you could connect up to the amp. But those RCA's may be inputs. If they are inputs probably won't do you any good.

 

I guess as a last option you could always go to crutchfield.com and get an aftermarket headunit. They would sent any plastic dash pieces you might need to make it work. You could use the PAC to hook it up. And any decent aftermarket head unit would have the RCA out puts for an amp on the back. But I understand you wanting to keep the bose head unit. Thats what I want to do also.

Thanks for the input. It looks like I ordered the wrong kit. My friend has a 2006 silverado with Bose and has a amp and sub hooked up with a PAC I am going over there now to see if if will work in my truck. I'll let you know if it works.

You need a PAC os-1 that's what my friend has. I doesn't work on mine I need another kit that slices into the rear speakers. I was trying to stay away from cutting wires but I guess I have no other option.

      I'm suborn like that Ed. There's a plaque in my doctor office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Works for allot of things.    Reality is, the wife loves her SUV and even given it's issues, she'd buy another if she found one with low enough miles. Then again she has me to maintain it.    Most of what ails this thing is GM shooting themselves in the foot and by extension the buyer. Besides a ridiculous breather system the cat warm up strategy, IMHO, is the dumbest thing I've ever seen an OEM do to a vehicle they warranty. On cold start it r-e-t-a-r-d-s the ignition to like -17* ATDC and dump fuel like kicking over a pail to force combustion in the CAT's for rapid warm up. This literally hoses the oil off cylinder walls and creates enough varnish precursors to stick rings in even well maintained engines. THEN if that wasn't bad enough they recommend using a wanting fluid specification at equally stupid interval.    Common to all GDI motors I'm aware of is this silly practice of driving the HPFP off the cam giving a leaking pump direct and unchecked access to the crankcase. And sir, eventually the ALL leak. Your job is to "catch it if you can". Yes, these are the same people that removed dipsticks from engines and transmissions in belief Joe Average wasn't capable of checking, reading and maintain his own vehicles fluids. Sadly  and in large they were correct. Most people these days can't tell a sparkplug from a fire plug.  Great ideas one and all.    Every move and every error calculated to defend themselves from the law and their own customers.

      Most online suppliers and Amazon. All have noted "not for use with Bose speakers".

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.
