What Could You Lose If You Change Your Oem Radio?

[Hatem]

I like to change my stock radio to an aftermarket one but the car radio/audio system installation guy told me that I will disable the following:

 

- The original amplifier that feeds the Bose speakers.

- The steering wheel radio/speakers controls.

- The door/warning chime.

 

Anything more to lose? Any solution to prevent that or to let them work with the aftermarket radio?

You will loose your Bose amp. But there are adapter harness' that will retain your steering wheel controls and door/warning chimes. Any good installer will be able to get the harness for the aftermarket radio to keep the steering wheel controls and chimes.

 

Do a search in here for wiring harness and it should point you to the one you'll need.

You will also lose SCV (Speed Control Volume), maybe some of the higher end aftermarkets have this?

Thank you, what do you mean by the Speed Control Volume?

I've read that you also loose the turn signal noise since it is generated through the radio. Crutchfield says you need a relay to retain that. How does that work? Or are they wrong?

NO NO NO. YOU can keep BOSE AMP, Steering Controls, Radio controls.....

 

You lose factory XM and SCV(speed controled volume).

 

OSBOSE03----Bose interface with chime/turn/parking ect....

SWC-pac

And with the SWC the rear controls will do the same as the steering wheel.

 

Dual zone radios can have more options.

Sorry it is called OS-3 BOSE comes with cime and anttena adapter. By from AMAZON For like $110.00 fee shipping and it came in 2days. PAC SWI*** means Pac is the company and SWI-alp if it is a alpine radio ect.....

 

Pac is GREAT stuff I have used every Bose interface they make with zero problems. You DO NOT have to go find power or acc. wire EVERY wire you need is right in the box even the SWC wire.

 

However the SWC has to be programed the way you like. Easy but takes so know how read how to 10times then try!!!!!!!!!!

SWI is steering control interface but you have to match up what radio brand you buy.

Just saw you didn't say what truck you have.

The OS-3BOSE is NBS Trucks, but the OS-2Bose is older trucks. Or GM24LAN
