is the factory head unit the same whether it has the BOSE option or not? i may be getting an AV soon that has an aftermarket head unit that was half hazardly installed, and i will plan to put a factory one back in it. just curious if there were 2 different head units for the BOSE and NON-BOSE. local pick-n-pull yard has factory head units for $50
 
The plugs for the Bose are different then a stock head unit. Just look at the speakers in the AV to see if it has the Bose label, and grab the correct unit. :cheers:
 
what year?
 
2002 did not have bose.

no radio option as they only had 1 to choose from.
 
thats handy! thank you

one issue, every radio that comes up on GMpartsdirect when i search for an 02 AV, says it doesnt fit an 02 AV. was it the same 1 radio option in all 02 surburbans, tahoes, and AV's?
 
I do not know what burbs and tahoes had... but I do think they had option for 6 cd changer and cassette player back then as well as steering wheel controls.

Try another Gm parts site.

Steering wheels control for 2002 was a popular mod back then as jpcustoms (out of business I think) made a kit you could easily add steering wheel control to the stock AVY radio.
