2001 Cadillac DTS Headunit replacement

I am loking to swap out the bose head unit with an Alpine... What will i need to get the job done? Please provide links to products I need if possible please. The car has onstar that I do not use, I want to utilize the factory speakers and amp (the factory Bose system,) and I want to make sure I still get the warning chimes... Also I would like to retain steering wheel controls if possible but not a high priority. Thanks in advance :) P.S. I know it is going to be bit of a pain but I would like to do it anyway :) need.... wiring harness any converters to retain bose system and door chimes mounting hardware kit and whatever else you can think of

It looks like the cure-all may be a Peripheral GMAH32 but I cannot seem to find anyone who sells them... anyone have any clue how to get one?

bestbuy sells them in canada anyway you will have to check in the states"Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd

I do not know... here is a ling to Peripheral's website for the application guide. http://peripheralelectronics.com/application_guide/autos_main.asp The good news though is that I found out the scoop on the GMAH32 interface is BRAND NEW!!! It has not really shipped to very many places yet, if any. I stopped in at a couple local car audio places and Mach 1 (local car audio store) called Peripheral to find out what the story is on that unit and said they get order one right then and there. I had the guy order it and he said he could have it there in a week or so... possibly as early as Friday!! :) So for anyone with a Cadillac DTS from 2000 thru 2005 you are in LUCK!! There is now a solution. However it is about $200 but it also makes it easy for just about anyone to install the aftermarket head unit themselves. There are a lot of benefits to go with it as well... such as not having to spend a ton of many to rewire all new speaker to bypass the Bose amp, also you will now get to retain your Onstar etc... and for me the most important, I don't have to spend $500+ on a quality line out converter that may not do a stellar job.
