I am actually Buying the Harness from Best Buy it costs around $130.00 it retains the Onstar and door chimes, i think its madeby Metra.
I found another company other thanPAC who makes them they are called Scosche which is not compatible with monsoon systems. They are rather cheap and they sell it at WALMART! for 50 bucks
I think there quality sucks but i may be wrong.

Actually, I was recommended Scoshe DCGMOS2B11B (OnStar Interface for Class 2 vehicles with Bose sound system (GM06 version)), as just as good as the Metra. To retain the chimes, you need an additional unit, DCGMCM2B12B. If you don't want to retain the Bose amplifier, then use DCGMOS2B10B instead of DCGMOS2B11B.

This is probably the harness, it's $100: Metra OnStar-Compatible Wiring Harness (GMOS04) $99.99
Plus, you need in any case this to retain FM/AM radio: Metra GM Antenna Adapter (40-GM10) $15.99, and might also need Metra GM Antenna Adapter (40-GM20) $15.99 and Metra Radio Wiring Harness (PA-0180) $18.99.
Do you have XM? How will you retain that?

RE: New head Unit, Need Onstar help!
btw, I've seen some negative comments about the quality of the Metra, but haven't seen similar comments about Scoshe. Likewise, it depends which Scoshe unit did one of the users see at Walmart for $50. They generally cost at least $100, sometimes up to $160. And they DON'T have a speaker for chimes, but like PAC Audio (CM-1), use a special accessory DCGMCM2B12B. So the question would be which of the three OnStar harnesses would be most reliable: PAC Audio, Metra or Scoshe?

RE: New head Unit, Need Onstar help!
[:@] So I still have the same issue i started with. The Onstar sounds good, Chimes work but when you try to connect after the Onstar voice tells you to hit the Blue key one more time it says it can not connect. I called Onstar and they siad they cant get a Signal from my car. Now the antenna is hooked up because I get Radio reception. Im using the Pac Os02 Bose with Chime. Someone help figure this out please!!!!
