Default Stereo question for ya?

What if anything would I have to change if I wanted to replace my stock head unit with one of those DVD/Tv head units? Would it work with stock Monsoon speakers?

well, if you have 2,300 dollars on a flip screen with DVD, buy two new pairs of speakers too for like 200 dollars, the stock speakers are really not good compared to INFINITY. any lcd screen is going to cost alot, and the dvd, either in the dash or under the seat. if going to spend that much, go ahead and upgrade the speakers... this is what i would do, go to the shop, say you are going to buy this lcd and dvd, say you want a good deal on some speakers too, they may give half off, i have done it, just say, not many people buy this much from you, give me a break on the price, and if they say no, go to another shop and try again, now everbody sells the same products.
if any more questions, ask

It would work fine you wouldn't have to change anything. It wires in with ordinary GM wiring harnesses. Only thing that becomes difficult is if you are buying a unit with a built in DVD player it is gonna have a hideaway brain box that you have to put in the car somewhere. I don't know if anyone has told you but they even make a interface to let you keep the steering wheel controls if you want.
