With all the G6's what are the factory radio options out there?

I am trying to determine if mine has an amplifier or just head unit power.

Not familiar with the G6's at all.

when you turn it on, check and see if it says monsoon, if so you have an amp. If not, from what I understand your out of luck

ROFL

If it says Monsoon Im out of luck!

I dont want that crap in my car!

Well if thats the case no amp in mine, yippee!

That makes the harness I have to buy $50 instead of $150!

:beer:

if you peel back the back right corner of the trunk liner, the amp will be just behind that.

Are we talking up around the rear deck lid or more back by the tail lights?

Any pictures of said amp?

I like the response given by St Louis Dave. Turning on the player and if it says monsoon. That really worked. You can use this idea. Thank you for sharing this.

I like my Monsoon 6 Disc XM just fine!
Who else likes their Monsoon unit?

One of these days I will get the stuff ordered and installed. I got bigger fish to fry right now though.

The system was nice, but in order to hook up a subwoofer I had to start from scratch. Now I have a full blown aftermarket stereo system.

Now I gotta sell my old Monsoon system on eBay somehow.

Eh Im past the point for full blown systems anymore. I just want something that sounds decent, gets moderately loud and I can plug a USB stick into.

All I want is a way to control a USB flash drive...

I thought I would go with a Parrot unit. However after some reading I decided against it. Basically the parrot units bypass the entire stock system... The scary part is they have their own amplifier- of unkown quality. Knowing that a factory radio has built in EQ'ing thats non adjustable made me frown upon the Parrot.

So I found a cheaper alternative that seems to work OK.

$10... NAXA units... FM Modulated...

Like I said I paid $10 for mine shipped on E Bay, the lowest end unit. My biggest complaint is there is no way possible to quickly change folders (that I have figured out). There also was NO real directions to speak of with the unit.

For $10 Im pretty happy!
