I'm looking to upgrade my 2007 Trailblazer 4.6 LS with a new head unit but I'm not sure which stereo I have.
It doesn't have Nav, just 6 disc player.
When I use the "Outfit my Car" on the Crutchfield website it asks me if it's a Bose system or not.
Now there is no label or badge that says Bose on my current unit, but I thought it flicked up on the screen once but I could be wrong.
It certainly doesn't say it everytime I turn on the stereo.
EDIT: It DOES say "Bose" when system powers up, see attached image... I'm still not sure which adapters I need know
So which of the 2 system adapters do I need for my truck if I was to fit a "Alpine CDE-123" head unit?
I picked this unit because I like Alpine, and it has "Rear USB" connector to hide iPod cable and run it to glovebox.
The Alpine CDE-123 also comes with some bezel adapter and an Antenna adapter.
GM Factory Integration Adapter General Motors Class II data bus interface — retains OnStar system, factory door chime, and Bose system with aftermarket radio at Crutchfield.com
GMOS-100 GM Factory Integration Adapter Retains satellite radio, OnStar, Bluetooth, backup camera, rear-seat DVD, warning chimes, and steering wheel controls in 2000-up GM vehicles at Crutchfield.com
As far On-Star I don't pay for it or use it, I don't have a backup camera, rear DVD, bluetooth, or satellite radio, and I wouldn't cry over losing the door chime thing. (what about other warning sounds??)
FYI, as for speakers I was going with Polk Audio db651s (6.5" front) and Polk Audio db5251 (5.25" component system for rear)
Thanks Guys
