Stock HU Question

[Beerdrnkr 5,000+ posts]

I have a 2006 Grand Vitara w/ a 6 CD changer and an Aux input and I do not want to change the factory HU because it has steering wheel controls and it looks clean the way it is. Is there a module or something that can give me as clean a signal as an aftermarket head unit? I went to tweeter a few months ago and they said eclipse makes something like that. My main concern is that it has to have 2 rca inputs for 2 amps and an Aux input (for MP3 player) unless the one from my factory head unit would still work. If anyone knows of any units like what I'm talking about please give me the brands, model numbers, and where I can buy the unit. Thanks

you can get a line out converter, its plugs into the speaker inputs on the back of the stock h/u and gives you 2 preamp outputs and you can still hook your speakers up to the stock radio. also crutchfield sells adapters for aftermarket head units so they can also use steering wheel controls. i think they are pretty expensive though, like almost 100 bucks or something.

I don't know of anything that will give you multiple RCA outputs and an RCA input on a factory radio.

Those items don't look like the eclipse thing they showed me at tweeter. I might just have to go back to tweeter and check it out again and see what the name of it is. Thanks for the help.

I think it's an OEM Interface.
