My stock unit and steering control also works. I just press the "aux" button on the stock unit to recieve sound signals from Alpine unit. But since they are connected through the rca cables, quality of sound falls little bit. May need seperate amp that powers up the Alpine.

I have an aftermarket deck hooked up to my Factory HU too. I would definitely get a line driver. I didn't have a line driver at first and ended up adding one later.
The difference is night and day. I use to have to turn the volume way up on my Pioneer, but after adding this. I can turn it down a lot more. Helps to balance everything out, so that one component is not working a lot harder than the others.

Here's a link to a pic:

It's cheaper here. This were I bought mine:

Thanks for the info!
But it's sure lots of adapters for it to work. Soundgate Aux Adapter, Ground Loop Isolator, and now Line Booster. So I can connect this between Soundgate and GLI right?

What kind of rims are those? Those were mad cheap but they look good

That is just the OEM bodykit? and you put a mesh grill down there and those are yellow fog lights?

It looks good but I like the foglights wider where they were designed to go. I guess to me it fills that gap, what is there now? the original plastic vented piece?

did you do anything different to the headlights / housing ?

The car looks good. Btw, I know the front plate doesn't look good on the front bumper. But it's so dangerous mounting it on the passenger side windshied. Just imagine how sharp the plate can be during an accident. I would think it can cut the passenger or the airbag and render it useless... Just be careful dude.

What kind of rims are those? Those were mad cheap but they look good... The company is called FUJIME CONCEPT and name of that model is R-Spec. 19lbs each. Not a brand name wheel but its cheap and lighter than stock.

That is just the OEM bodykit? and you put a mesh grill down there and those are yellow fog lights?... I just have the front lip. No full kit. Having just the front lip makes it look lower than the full kit. Thinking of doing the rest too with a-spec sus.

It looks good but I like the foglights wider where they were designed to go. I guess to me it fills that gap, what is there now? the original plastic vented piece?... All bumper vents are covered with grills that I made. Painted them into NBP color.

did you do anything different to the headlights / housing ?... Changed
just the main hid light into PIAA Super Cobalt HID.
