a tech2 or tech2win (pc software/obd interface) would do it for sure, not sure if other scanners would do it or not

I wonder if the aftermarket radio is powering the amp or driving speakers directly? Line output or speaker output to amp may affect noise level too?
What I have found, when hitting the RSA button, the rear radio outputs go full volume. Amp probably mutes rear speakers and redirect output to headphones jack..?

all right, thank you for your information. I'm trying to get a scanner like that.
So if I unplug the cable from the Bose amplifier, the front speakers go silent. So my headunit has to turn on the amplifier. As soon as I turn on the RSA and plug in headphones there is a humming noise in the headphones and no sound comes out when something is playing.

Could this all be related to my Canbus adapter? I don't know if I have Onstar in this vehicle or not. To be honest, I still don't fully understand what Onstar is, we don't have this service. I have the PAC rp5-gm31 in conjunction with an Alpine ILX 705 radio. Maybe the Bose amplifier doesn't like the Canbus adapter and that's why there is no music coming out of the rear speakers, just strange noises.

Do the rear speakers work normally?

Is it possible your aftermarket headunit does not support rear seat audio?
I believe it lets the driver listen to one audio source and the rear seat audio (headphones) uses a second source.
If you don't have sound out of your rear speakers normally, then maybe your amp is bad or somehow the wiring is wrong?

So, as I said, I can hear the radio sound very quietly from the rear speakers when I put my ear to it, but the noise is much louder. My radio definitely has outputs for the rear speakers. I ordered a new amplifier today and will replace it. If that wasn't the problem, I'll check the cables for all the rear speakers maybe one of the speakers has a short circuit.

Small update: I installed a new amplifier and the noise is gone but there is actually no sound at all coming out of the back. I bridged the speaker cables of the rear speakers and connected them directly to the vehicle wiring harness without success. Unfortunately the original rear monitor and DVD player were replaced by the previous owner and so I can no longer change the source on the rear controller but it is set to radio which should be fine. I'm absolutely at a loss as to what else I should try. Maybe it really is the PAC adaptertely without success.
