Ive never known of one that is just plug and play (but I have been out of the game for 4 years now). Most of what I have used have to be wired in. One way to do it if you don't want to strip wires back and solder is to find male and female harnesses and make your own plug n play setup. I have also heard others say that bose needs special LOCs to work. Personally, up to 2008, I used universal LOCs wired at the amp output wires (under the cupholder) and had absolutely no issues. Using these wires you already have the frequencies you want, thus eliminating the need for crossovers. However, if you are keeping your 5 channel then you will bypassing bose all together anyway. What I would do is find the harness that plugs into the factory radio and wire LOCs to speaker out leads, the harness that plugs into the factory harness and get your powers/etc. from there. leave the way you have the speaker outputs from the aftermarket amp how you have them now. I think I have something that will work for you. What year vehicle are we talking about here? of course let me brainstorm a bit and I'll figure out a seamless way to do it and leave your factory wiring intact.
