Installing Factory navigation in a Non-Bose Truck
I know there is already post about this but I'm relaying my experience with the install. First there is 2 different kinds of nav units, DVD and non DVD. If you have the DVD nav you must have it programmed to send out a analog volume control instead of a digital. Ill explain, the DVD units send a digital signal to the Bose amp that controls the volume, without a Bose amp you need to have a analog signal. No matter which unit you have you need a external amp to your speakers, If you just have the unit dealer programmed (theft unlock)and no amp you will have a real low volume.
As far as the parts you will need here it goes. I decided to do a whole system while I was doing it. But whatever you do you will need a PAC-1416 (45.00) this is a direct plug and play to turn your speaker wires to RCA's. GM nav ant. (65.00) and a VSS plug that also has a video input for back-up camera(40.00). CPS Audio and Video in California was a huge help with my install. Greg programmed the DVD unit for 100.00 and had all the pieces for the rest of the install as well.
If you just want the nav unit and are not interested in a big stereo than CPS has a plug and play amp kit for 250.00 that will act just like the factory Bose system.
