Question
i'm looking to keep the stock head unit in, but was unsure if i had audio outputs..i'd rather find out now before i rip apart the dash, because if it doesn't then ill look to get an after market to hook up an amp..i don't want to have to take it apart more than i need to..my other question is: how do you feel about harmon kardon's drive + play..i've read a bunch of reviews, mostly good..would you recommend this product to hook up an ipod? i had a belkin fm transmitter in my last vehicle and i'm looking for something that will pick up less static..if not the drive + play, are there other similar units that would work well/better? i like the visual screen they have that is similar to an xm satellite display..

thanks  

Answer
HI
the drive and play works good i like the display and joystic
the problem is that the sound will be bad like the belkin no diference  
there are better ways to plug the ipod to the factory GM radio
and the ipod will show the name of the song,artist,title  on your factory radio keep the ipod in the glove box ,it also charges the ipod

there are no rca jack on the radio for the amplifier but you can also ad that to the factory GM stereo
