Wiring adapter harness (make sure you get the correct 1 for the OE fitted to your car) & double din facia adapter plate/panel.

I've just fitted the DMX8019DABS to my car. I had it working with Bose first of all then remove the Bose and added a DSP Amp and new speakers.

I had the same problem when I first wired it up with Bose. You need to make sure the blue remote turn on wire is connected from the head unit to the quadlock loom. That turns on the Bose amp in the boot.
