Shut up rice farmer.
It is possible, but very difficult. I forget the site that are selling special resistor type things.. darn..
There is an interface, Audio Concepts carries it.
I've got 1.
By the way ru pulling out the business CD player??

yeah...got the Audiophile system...I don't care so much about replacing the Business Cd Player but I've got a really good Alpine deck with Sirius Satellite. I pulled it out of my other car and I can't stand listening to Vibe 98.5 anymore...I really miss Sirius. It would just be cool to be able to use the steering buttons.
It's called: PAC Model #SW1-X

thanks...what kind of rims you got on your 5 TC3
Niche Pultecs
They are from way back. But they are true 3 piece and have a nice deep polished lip that really suits the car.
Unless I move up to 19's, I'll probaly stick with them. I've had them so long.
They look better in person..but here's a pic
