and
Peripheral GMAHCM - This one sounds correct, except for the model years.
Is it that the website has not updated the information, or is there another adapter required?
In addition, when they say Bose, do they also mean Monsoon? I guess I could research the GM schematics, but to see if the Bose and Monsoon have similar wires for connection to the amplifiers from the radios.
So, if these are correct, all I would require would be:
Receiver
XM Tuner
The two adapters
Antenna adapter
Rear Camera
Two-bottles of Morgan's Rum
Face plate
Another bottle of Morgan's Rum
(Actually, probably a lot easier than the mirrors.)

I have the Z1 and love it. I have a sunroof and have had no problems viewing it in direct sunlight. I haven't messed with the D1, but from what I have heard the hard drive based nav is much quicker than DVD based. There is a lot of great information on AVIC411.com. Some of the people on that forum preferred to go with other brand cameras instead of the pioneer. I bought the Pioneer and so far I love it. The viewing angles are very good and the picture quality is very good even in low light. I mounted mine right above my license plate, but I'm thinking about moving it. My plan is to buy a motor for a power side mirror and mount it near the hitch. Then mount the switch in the center console so I can adjust the camera from inside the vehicle.
Those are the correct 2 adapters. You will also have to connect the 3 purple wires in the factory harness together.
If you end up getting the Z1, which I recommend, also get the bypass board from AVIC411.com so you can access all of the features while driving.
I was lucky. My VSS wire was in the small plug in the factory harness.
From what I read about your mirror install this should be much easier. I spent about 5-6 hours on it, but I tend to really take my time on things because I'm afraid of messing something up.
Also, a lot of people on the AVIC411 forum have been mounting their XM and GPS antenna to the underside of the dash and have had excellent results. I actually ran mine to the roof (even though kodiaz suggested under the dash), but next time I need to get into the dash, I think I am going to remount them. There is plenty of room right above the stereo to mount them.
