hello all i have a basic question . i have a 05 dhs and I want to bypass my bose. i know the stereo is wired into the anti theft and all tha crap so which leads me to what i want to do. i want to put all new speakers new wire to a new amp and from there wire the amp to a bt dongle and use that. i want to leave the factory radio in place as a dummy for the car. will the car notice if i swap the speakers

Is it a Deville DHS package?

If so, you can easily change out the radio. A little pricey but easily done.
The car will not know that you changed the speakers and put them on a separate amplifier.

its a dhs package bose onstar vs changer no back. well i was planning on usimg a bluetooth dongle connected to the amp and hsve my tablet connect thru that. as for HU I'm not to fond of them because you have to fitt all these rca and wiring in the tight space. gets on my nerves
