Bose system wiring

Ok I have a 1992 Camaro with a AM/FM cessette radio in it, I want to use a 1993 Bose CD player from a 4th Gen. Camaro, will that work as far as wiring????? Would I have to make any changes or is all GM stuff standard as far as plugs.

The wiring is the same, as far as the speaker outputs, and the power and ground. The Bose deck does NOT have an internal amplifier whereas the standard AM/FM Delco decks do. This is because ALL Delco Bose units have individual amps on each speaker. ALso, the Bose deck sends power (same wire to the powere antenna) to a relay which turns on the speakers, since each one is individually powered. The standard stereo has only the amp in the deck. You could do it, but you'll need a 4 channel amp or 2 2 channel amps in order for it to work right.
