PAC vs. Metra

[CLEAR]

I keep reading negative reviews on the metra gmos-04. Is PAC the way to go? Whats the part number and place with the best price?

Ok I got the pac c2r-gm24. I keep reading different stuff about this piece. Some sites say it only works without bose, some say it works with standard bose but not bose premium??? Also will the chimes be played through the LF speaker or this Pac box?

 

[groundscr8pr]

you are correct. os-2c-bose is the correct part.

I called pac and they said gm24 is what I needed. Will this play chimes through the LF speaker?

I used a PAC recently. Forget the model at the moment, but I did the research and found it was the thing I needed. I installed it in my 04 yukon with bose. Everything was working great, but I get no chimes- I honestly don't mind! but i noticed that my key fob doesn't seem to work. I tried changing the batteries in it but it still doesn't work. I'm not sure that the PAC even causes the problem but I have a feeling it did.

I have the PAC and it works great. Mine plays the chimes through the harness itself. Ive had a couple of the metra's and they sounded like shit.

I dont remember the part number sorry.
