aftermarket audio?

looking for some help here guys...

So I got the rockford, leather and sun pkg on my gts but I'm sure as most of you know the oem headunit blows

I have a pioneer deck and some audiobahn subs and box with alpine amp in my basement sitting collecting dust.. was wondering if I can install these but...

a)not severely void my warranty (if thats even possible lol).. I have the fast key and I dont want to run into trouble with it and them not cover it because of my audio..
b) keep my oem bluetooth working.


Thanks.

a) Suggest you go the route of getting a everything installed and remove everything OEM. Leave the OEM cables alone so you can remove your aftermarket equipment and just plug your OEM equipment back in when you want to return it to stock.

Get a 5 channel amp for your tweeters and other speakers and use the alphine amp to power your subs.

b) OEM bluetooth wont work with your new headunit.

c) OEM steering wheel controls wont work unless you use a PAC module system.

^ Yes. You cant use your OEM amp with your new amp and subs with the stock headunit.

I would suggest getting a new headunit with a new 5 channel amp to run your speakers and have another amp for your subs.

Someone has write up on splicing into the OEM amp but it very tricky and the amp cant handle two subs.
