Problem solved.True that.I used a product called RE-Q. It takes the high level (speaker) output from any factory head unit, retains the Bass lost and allows you to EQ the signal before running it into your amps. Great product and cheap.I too have a ute and personally have never been a fan of the aftermarket head unit down below (even though we fit them at my work all the time)You can splice into the wiring, but if you go to use the factory ICC, you must have your aftermarket head unit switched off completely.The other option is to buy any head unit (preferbly with rear AUX in for neater install) and then you just use a high to low level converter off the factory ICC and have that run into the AUX in of the head unit. Then basically you have all the features available on your stereo you have bought, plus the 6 Stacker coming from the ICC and playing through AUX in of the stereo.I deal with Car Audio all day long at work. We've done every possibly solution, except iPad's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through the headunit or icc still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
