    So I just bought a sony xplod sub & amp off of a friend. I have a 2005 Passat GLS Sedan, and I have the double din monsoon HU. I would really like to keep the stock head unit. I use the cd mag, and I also just don't like the look of after market HU's. I know there is an amp for the monsoon...

    I'm thinking of replacing the stock Monsoon HU on my Passat with an aftermarket unit. I am looking for an HU that plays CDs and MP3, has CD changer control, and has an auxiliary input. I've seen some at Crutchfield that may fill the bill, but some come with front panel aux inputs and others...

    I've been reading this forum for quite a while, I've seen many different ways to add direct line level connections to the stock receiver. I have a 2003 GLS with Monsoon. I would like to add XM radio without using an FM Adapter or Tape Adapter. What I would like to do is find an adapter that...
