I am buying a 06 impala soon and i dont want to change the HU if i dont have to, is it possible to keep good signal from this with like a rca modulater and a eq. maybe? and some line drivers? Its a 06 Impala SS with the upgraded sound system already.. so it is prolly a halfway decent hu i would think... do they come with a rca maybe ::crosses fingers:: i never seen one that did but i havnt seen a stock HU from any car newer then like 02 or so |

There hasn't been a stock head unit made to date with RCA outputs, no questions asked. Change the head unit...stock is pure crap unless you've paid 3k+ for it as an option alone. |

If you go pioneer or alpine, they make adaptors so you can use the stock steeringwheel controls for the audio |

Probably not.. unless you can find a way to wire an FM modulator with a controller into it.. or hardwire it into the correct cd changer plug for your aftermarket head unit (but I don't know if that would work because usually every wire is a switching wire in the harness and doesn't control a specific function). |
