Retaining steering wheel controls/door chimes

[mike diesel]

I've about had enough with my current interface module I've been using for 4 years now. It doesn't retain factory chimes and steering wheel controls don't work. It came with a "buzz box" that makes a god aweful scream to simulate door chimes, and it's rediculously loud.

What interfaces are people using now days to retain factory chimes/onstar/steering wheel controls?

This is a 2005 bose equipped truck with aftermarket headunit and door speakers. The rear speakers are still being powered by the factory bose amp as well.

Part numbers would be helpful! When I search for interfaces, I get 17 different ones and I don't know which to get.

What's your head unit in the truck?

But I disconnect the chime

I can live with the door chimes it has now and it doesn't appear I'll be able to retain them anyways since I'm not powering the front speakers from the bose amp anyways.

I found the Metra axxess ASWC-1 which looks like what I need to retain steering wheel controls. Does anyone have experience with this specific one on our trucks?

Subscribed.... I am wanting to retain steering wheel controls and factory chimes and On-Star as well. Truck has factory Bose non nav right now but want a head unit with nav and Bluetooth for my phone that will also work with the Bose amp and speekers... Can this be done???
Sorry Mike not meaning to highjack your thread just have a similar question...

Had a PAC in my previous 04. Door chimes and steering wheel controls worked just like factory.

I went with the axxess ASWC-1. Amazon had it for $47, best buy had it for $89. They price matched it! I'll install it tonight when I get home from work.

Same here in my '07.
FWIW I cut the wire that sends the dinging to the speakers when the key is in the ignition and door is open years ago.

Yea, I think I'm at the point of just un hooking that little buzz box.

Just got it installed. Testing in my garage here, it works flawless.

I had one of those metra brain boxes that was supposed to keep factory comes and all the crap and it would not work with my insight the insight would lock up and quit reading the factory inputs. The truck would also randomly shut off and not restart for no reason. Took the brain box deal out and put the cheap 10 dollar harnesses in and never had an issue
