Yeah the one I got doesn’t mention anything about Bose, just states that you can use it for 07-13 Tahoe, Yukon, Denali etc.
you need the one for bose, they make one just gotta do a little research, should say it does bose and everything except bose fade (it will say in the fine print features), if you want bose fade & dsp then you need to use the idatalink maestro rr which is usb programmable.
if you have RSE then the headunit needs to support "dual zone" and you need a additional adapter
AND if you have a 3rd row lcd screen then the 2nd row and 3rd row screens need to be wired together for the 3rd row to work

I’m not sure if mine even has the fade or any of the other stuff you listed. I have the dvd player/lcd screen but I’m not too concerned with that at the moment.

The guy I bought it from had a cheap head unit with door speakers but it sounded terrible so I put the stock one back in for the time being, that also gave me the backup camera feature back so that’s nice to have. But, he had a Scosche harness hooked up to his aftermarket radio and the door speakers had sound, I guess I’m going to try and see if I can use that one, it just wasn’t the prettiest as far as wire management goes.

I lied, the previous harness is actually an Axxess AXGMLN-02 which also looks like it’s made by Metra, this one any better or in the same boat?

depends on what website you read, the AXGMLN-02 works however feel like is a generic interface that is not specific to Denali trim with Bose. I am sure it would work in my Tahoe however I have a SSV so pretty simplistic but with Bose, it all changes. Call it a hunch, but fairly confident the RSE will not work with this adapter. I have OCD about stuff like that so it would be a constant irritant that its not all "right". Prolly need to bite the bullet and get a Maestro or something specific for Bose equipped trucks.
