Holy Crap! A Big Daddy sighting! :O
The last person I know of to have a Genesis was Dennis. Good luck with it.
Re: New car, Quick question.
Crutchfield says you can throw a double din in there no problem. But there are ways to test the output of the factory headunit with rta. Can't remember how but someone on here knows.
Re: New car, Quick question.
And where the hell have you been BIG DADDY?
Re: New car, Quick question.
I've been working my ass off :D
yeah, I can test the outputs but I kinda figured someone would just know :D
Re: New car, Quick question.
Personally I would just throw a double din in there and get it over with. Most of the Pioneers have network mode now or if you want to go with a processor the Dayton unit seems to be treating people well if on a budget.
Re: New car, Quick question.
the headunit and "screen" are separate, dunno if the headunit drives the screen that has HVAC info on it or not. have not looked too hard but I suspect it may, or will suffer some pretty shitty errors without it.

Nicole's 2011 GC had everything that ran through the HU. The HU also had a digital out that went to the factory amp, but her car had the factory sub too. While she was pleased with the factory sound system, she wasn't pleased with the lack of bass, despite having a subwoofer, so I put one in there for her. The only thing I remember about her car is that it had a factory loudness curve at low volume that disappeared at high volume.
I did find it funny that her car had the Infinity Premium sound system in it and everything was stamped Harmon or JBL... As in, nothing was branded Infinity.
Re: New car, Quick question.
Well, Infinity and JBL are under Harman so...:p

The digital out heads to the Harman amp and the volume is then controlled via the vehicle bus. It is entirely possible that the EQ curve was built into the amplifier.
