Installing aftermarket head unit into '02 Grand Prix w/Bose?
Which exact model PAC device and wiring harness's or similar do I need to swap in an aftermarket head unit into an '02 Grand Prix with the factory bose speakers/amp? Swapping out the old speakers is not an option at this time.
I also have On-Star but I dont need that to work. Thanks.

i had a 99 GTP with the bose, i swapped out the factory HU for an alpine unit (and later a pioneer, boo) and everything worked just the same, no extra parts needed.

Thanks guys. Ah yes, good 'ol OQCGP ... been there a time or two. I would be fade2black over there
So you didnt have any issues with the 2 ohm speakers / amp etc? You just used the same harness? Whats the big deal then with getting the PAC?

Sounds like the way to go. In doing some more reading it appears that the PAC boxes maintain the door chimes and other things that go "ding" inside the car. Not really a concern. I have On-star too, but its useless to me, so I'll try your suggestion. Thanks.

the chimes are there for a reason. You'll need the chimes to certify it to sell it.
But that won't matter, nobody will want to buy it with the keys locked inside and a dead battery from not having any chimes.
Your re-sale value will also be less without the onstar, but that won't matter, nobody will want to buy it with the keys locked inside and a dead battery from not having any chimes.
