[QUOTE="kingcodez, post: 7877363, member: 644768"] Well for volume control, I found this: [URL="http://www.jlaudio.com/cl-rlc-car-audio-system-expansion-98117"]CL-RLC - Car Audio - OEM Interface - System Expansion - JL Audio[/URL] And as far as the cables go I'd probably just go with OEM Apple cables.
