"luxury" amp transplant

[chaingun427]

Looking to see if anyone has ever transplanted the "luxury" bose amp and radio into a base model tahoe.

Also looking to see if anyone has a luxury amp, or at least a part number for one available.

I think for the 07-14 there is basically 2 different lux amps, you can find them on ebay, as far as upgrading I think you would be in for a job including a bose radio, complete harness, speakers & programming.
my tech2 will tell me the amp part number in my Denali but it's going to be one of the 2 that are readily available on ebay usually for around $100

Yeah I'm finding a smaller and a larger one on ebay. I think the larger of the two is the "luxury" amp I guess the real question is if I transplant the amp into my Tahoe, will it power on and pick up stuff like chimes, signals, and the speaker phone?

This is what amp is in my 09 Tahoe LTZ. It has Nav, rear entertainment, and Bose with 10 speakers.

I've got a 2008 denali too I'm going to pop the console and see what amp is in it, I'm stealing the motor and some other stuff and it's getting my afm 5.3 before I sell it, so I might as well try to snag the amp and nav

That's premium to luxury. Mine is base radio, no amp at all. I'm unsure if the bcm will signal to luxury amp to turn on if it's never had one in the first place

Why not just go aftermarket? A lot easier route and probably a better sound in most cases

Integration mostly. I haven't found an interface that I like for door chimes car phone, rse, and backup camera that I like, at all. Tried the maestro rr based on recommendations here and it keeps the steering wheel buttons great, but the chimes are ass and the rse is glitchy for some reason, but perfect when I go back to the factory radio

The pac doesn't have a feature set I like either
