Noob here and I have a question that I need answered in a very detailed manner. I'm trying to understand something in regards to a car pc and either stock radio or aftermarket radio. How would you connect your car pc to a stock radio or aftermarket in-dash radio. I see some cars with the radio still in there car and some without which I see as weird. If there was a way to have your car pc connected to an in-dash radio. I know with all these experts on this site someone can explain it. Thank you ......

Rizaydog is right, so many people have covered this topic on the forum. Since I'm in a good mood, I'll explain it. Basically some people do not like to remove the head unit because then you would have to have a AMP to drive the speakers. Also its easier to install, on after market radios there is a AUX in, so your PC would plug directly into the back of the HU. Now me, for example, I did not want to keep my bulky head unit, also I wanted superior sound quality in a 7.1 Surround sound setup, you cant do that with a head unit, so I got rid of it. Bad thing is you have to rewire the car and buy amps to power the speakers. My setup will have 3 amps and I really had to redesign to fit them in my setup. The end result though is an amazing sounding system that I honestly don't think a head unit can compete with. All in all its preference. If you want the easy way, then use a HU, if you want amazing audio, go without a HU, I never understood why people want to have a middle man between the PC and the speakers.
