I yanked out the 6 disc in dash changer too, and bought a head unit with Ipod hookup. No need for discs anymore.:thumbsupIf your willing to spend 300. on parts to make your stock pos work, why not buy a new cheaper model Pioneer? You will not get near the sound out of the stock as you will the new headunit. I weighed the options of losing my 6 disc for a new Pioneer, and it was well worth it. Next is the stock speakers.
