Thumbs up Great News for those who don't want to change the HU

JL Audio has come up with a product called the "Clean Sweep" that can clean up the signal from the stock head unit for high quality sound through aftermarket amps and speakers. This is huge! Check out the link for more info. I have ordered these today and hope to have them available soon.

This is great, got a bit of a wait for it... I definetly will pick one of these up, thanks for the info!

Ya you would think with an upgraded radio such as the NOBOSE, that it would have a freakin RCA out on it.... For those of us that lease, this is a great option!

I belive the target price is about $400. It's pricey but still less than a dd kit, new HU and steering wheel control module.

PAC makes a module to retain the use of your steering wheel audio controls when you change your stock head unit to an aftermarket HU. It runs around $120.

Umm... If you are paying that much for the PAC SWI-X units, than I would suggest that you contact me for one instead. Just about half the price.

I read that quote above and got scared! Anyone charging that much for a SWI-X is just plain stealing.

The $120 price is with installation since, installation and programming take about an hour. Our price for the unit alone without installation is $69.

Reggie, $45 is a great price, that's cost on the unit.

I have to have a cleansweep. Thats awesome. I know I cant afford to go the route of buying one of the double din screens/radios, so this will suit me just fine. Especially when I throw the 12w6 in there.

Sounds like about a days work. It really all depends on what you got and where you want it installed. Stop by on Saturday, I'll be at the shop.
