PAC RP5-GM11 Wiring Interface. Check out Crutchfield

I’ve read that before but is there a cheaper harness considering I don’t have steering wheel controls or Bose?

I never used this one but another option to the Pac is the Crux SOCGM-17C. Make sure you also pick up a GM antenna adapter if you go with the Crux. The Pac RP5 comes with one in the package. Also if you get your head unit form Crutchfield, they offer the harness and other installation gear in a discounted package. The CRUX package is $25 with a head unit while the PAC is $80 and both packages come with the bezel and the antenna adapter, which is already included with the PAC, is also added to the CRUX package.

Crutchfield does carry a lower cost one that might work.

Just for the record, the harness is the same regardless if you have Bose or not. All C6 Corvettes have a factory amp and get connected the same way.

I got mine from Best Buy, they usually have one or two in stock. Plus they price match.

Better yet if you buy your head unit from Best Buy, let them install it, and it takes about 35 min and will set it up and explain how it works. love it!

I dunno if I would let the install techs from Best Buy in my car. But then again I do all my own work, so it all depends on how comfortable you are with installing things. Radio is easy, since you can wire up the harness in your kitchen and just plug it in after and bolt it all up.
