2005 gmc Bose system upgrade

[Harper60]

Hey yall, I am new to this forum so I am not exactly sure where to put this at... i have read and read on this topic and I just cannot make sense of anything. I have a 2005 gmc 1500 with factory bose system and on star with steering controls. I did the xm auxiliary mod and has kept me tied over for the last 2 months but I am getting tired of the system. I am wanting to install a double din that is compatible with my android phone. I am wanting to completely ditch the bose system and install a amp for the speakers and then have a separate amp for the sub. I have read that the chimes go through the bose amp, so what I can't understand is can i ditch the amp but somehow retain the factory interface. I am aware there are adapters and wiring kits buto I just see arguments over which one to get. What can I do to hopefully keep everything working? Any help is greataydon appreciated! Sorry if I missed the posts where this was talked about! Have a blessed night yall!

What is the xm auxiliary mod that you're talking about? Is there a way to add an Aux hookup to this stock system? I have the same stereo/truck as you...

It changes the XM plug to an aux jack and uses the XM source as it's input

I installed a Kenwood in mine, the PAC unit has it's own little dinger to make the chimes. It would probably be easiest to keep the Bose and run an audio output to an amp.
