[QUOTE="Tehgregzor, post: 7659659, member: 561089"] DRL's stay on at all times when the car is running. Thats why I like tapping into those, rather than headlight circuit. Some fog lights are the same, they stay on. The GMOS unit is made by AXXESS, its a decent little box that is basically a normal wire harness, with a built in chip that takes your constant and gives you a constant AND acc source of power when the car is on. I just checked metra fitment guide, [URL="http://www.metraonline.com/vfg"]Metra Online | Welcome to Metra Auto Parts Online Warehouse[/URL], and it doesn't list a GMOS unit for your car. I checked PAC too, and am not seeing anything. It looks like you're going to have to hard wire it. I'm not seeing an edition of the CTS-V that doesn't come with BOSE system standard. Bose tends to eq their systems BEFORE the signal is amplified, so barring any advice from a more experienced installer, I would run wires from the radio directly to each of the 4 speakers you choose, I suggest front doors and rear deck. Here is a list of your speaker locations and sizes. Front 1 9 3" deep Front 2 3.25 2 Center 1 3.25 2 Rear 1 5.25 3 Rear 2 3.25 2 Subwoofer 10 3 [/QUOTE]
