    Running NO head unit (AUX + 1/2 DIN Equalizer only)

    Awesome. This is what I was hoping to hear and it's good to know you had success with almost the exact unit I'm looking at. As of "02er" yeah, I've been using messageboards for a LONG time, though I'm not so old that I was ever in usenet groups or early AOL chatrooms. I only have vague memories...
