I'm not really sure what part number to retain chimes and all that. There are multiple different ones and they should still work for you. My guess is the rca 's in the back you see are for a sub amp. And they bypassed the factory speaker amp under the console via cutting and connecting the wires before and after the amp and are running the speakers off the radio. I have seen that done and have done it many times. So one of the metra kits has its own mini speaker that will play the chimes if that's all your looking for.

Verify that your stock amp is in fact bypassed, if so then go ahead and get the one without bose. With that everything should work as it is now, but add rap and chimes, if not onstar also.

Well I can't seem to find where they bypassed the amp. I will upload a few pics to see if anyone can tell me if its not bypassed.

I'm pretty sure someone has messed with it. The split loom and electrical tape doesn't look like a factory job. It's pretty messy. Maybe behind the loom and electrical tape?

I have not opened the door to check. But i would assume I do not since they took the time to pull up seats to run cable i can imagine they did custom stuff in the doors
