Sorry I don't document well but this is what I did to my V. It is not finished I just ran out of time (kids, work, etc..) I will finish it up by the end of the month... hopefully. The Alpine HU is feeding into the factory HU via the XM input mod. You just have to set your aftermarket HU to a certain volume number and keep it there. Its sort of like a gain on an amp. lol Once you have that set then you just use the factory volume control.


Here is a pic but this link ( http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t...ICE%20Install/ )will have all my updates in it.





More pics will be added soon. I am still using the bose amp and factory radio **** to control all audio functions. Nav audio works too. Sub will be goin in this weekend...

True a aftermarket HU directly feeding an amp is best but if you want to retain all your factory stuff my route is the way to go. I've had a lot of systems in my day and was totally against Bose but for the mids and highs they are great but lows not so much.


Anybody want to buy some JL Audio slash amps? I moved up to the HD ones.
