Guessing 03-07 truck?

IIRC, in order to get Bose system, you had to have the captains chair front seats and console. I dont think Ive ever heard of a truck that didnt have that combo from the factory and still had Bose.

Leather....easiest way is to order Katzkin covers and recover what you have.

Heated seats....not 100% sure if you can add the harnesses/relays/modules and reprogram the BCM. Thats Ben's specialty.

Wow. I have honestly never heard of that combination before. Id almost think the front seat config was changed at some time?
There might be a large connector behind the lower center dash that the main console harness could plug into. Worth checking. Otherwise, just go aftermarket with subs behind the rear seat.
99% sure you could transfer the seats/wiring/etc over and reprogram the BCM and it would work, but like I said....Ben would know for sure. Electrical architecture is his specialty.

There is no possible way your truck has bose if you dont have a center console.

Look at your glovebox RPO sticker. If it says "UQ7", ill eat my shorts.

Idk I guess someone could have pulled the center console out , or just the speaker covers been changed out , but if it isn't a Bose truck how hard would it be to add the factory sub/amp in the console

Honestly, if the truck didnt come with bose from the factory, its probably more trouble than its worth adding it...just go aftermarket amp/speakers.

Can you post a pic of your RPO sticker in the glovebox?

Ive never seen an 03-07 truck with power seats on both sides that wasnt an LT/fully loaded with the 12-way power seats.

I think the previous owner may have swapped some stuff around.

If you can post a picture of the RPO sticker in the glovebox, then we can tell you what stuff was swapped around by the previous owner...
