    They never did, I think the guy was trying to con me in to buying the $100 harness. So if I dont use the bose interface, willl it not work at all? I dont care if the door dinger doesnt work as long as the stero and everything else works properly.

    You will need the harness/interface for the bose amplifier to work.

    Or you could just bypass the bose amp and not worry about it. But that would depend on if it is an RDS (databus hardwired) or not. My 01 was not, so I forwent the harness and lost the door chimes and OnStar, just bypassed the amp.

    That would kind of defeat the purpose of having the Bose system. Maybe if he added a cap it would help?

    Ya it does, suck losing the prossesing. But aftermarket deck, can help restore some of it. The nice part is they are well built speakers and still sound really good if you do bypass the amp.

    Just bypass it with your own aftermarket equipment. You'll be much happier in the end. That's what i did and i'll never look back.
