[QUOTE="theedudenator, post: 4320493, member: 589477"] 1 year ago I replaced the factory speakers with some Boston Acustics I was hesitant to replace my factory HU because of the factory CD changer and steering controls. So now I have the following on order from Crutchfield Alpine IDA-X100 and the optional HD radio unit (not in stock yet) It says the Alpine is compatible with steering controls, but I am not seeing an adapter. Crutchfield shows the PAC brand adapter does not work. Any idea what I should be looking for? The PAC website shows that it works with the older model Alpine, maybe they do not have the webpage updated yet. I was given a 4 channel kenwood amp. KAC-748 50 watts x 4 at 2 ohms The Alpine is 0dBA (Ref: 1W into 4Ohm): 18W x 4 Max Power Output: 50W x 4 This is just for my daily driver, I am not looking for loud, just clarity and no distortion. Is it worth all of the hassle to install the amp for my existing 6x8 speakers? I am thinking it is not. Is there a possibility I can adapt my Ford 6 disk changer to the Alpine unit? [/QUOTE]
