Is this what i need??

And alright, ill look into those!!

Ok! I just looked it up. I like that one a lot. Any problems or anything with it?

And do you still have that auto volume that you have with the factory radio?

What do you mean by auto volume sorry it's been forever since I used a stock headunit.

Like when my car accelerates, the volume goes up (auto volume) i figure i probably won't have that with a new one?

I do have the Monsoon center dash speaker. So with any headunit i get, Kenwood or Pioneer, ill have to get that GMOS -04 adapter right?

Makes sense. Its not a big deal but i was just wondering. I've never seen it in a vehicle except this GP gtp

From what I understand, the Monsoon system is linked to the ECU to enable the automatic volume adjustments both up and down, based on engine speed, along with satallite equipment if equipped...making it a PITA when changing out at times....

The only thing I could add is if your looking to use an Iphone/ipod for you music you will need to purchase the adapter cord that would be made for whichever HU you pick.

So if i want subs, i can put another amp in for the subs too? or ill have to take out the monsoon amp and replace it with another one?
