Nope, theres no preouts, unless the amp accepts hi inputs ??

yeah you can get wiring adaptors for the stalk controls and screen (dunno where from sorry)
Halfords do them (autoleads make em) and if you get a sony or various other makes one you can keep the display aswell as the controls
Right then, now all i need is to figure out which companies do that compatibility, buy the stuff and then install it. If only I had more money

PS: Didnt there used to be a list in this forum of which comapnies offered the leads to use the stalk and screen?

same thing...
ive had to order one from Halfords its an
AUTOLEADS PC9-501
but they had to fone Autoleads because it wasnt in the books.
an you also get instructions on how to get the dash off (the cable plugs into your headunit then up to the back of the dash display) its pretty easy. just a set of Torx drivers.
You might do just as well ordering direct from Autoleads 0800 7839125 or give their technical line a call 01420 470618
In my first foray into the world of ICE I bought a purple Boss amp which came with a wiring kit that would allow you to take the signal from standard speaker outputs on the HU to convert to RCA ie no need for pre-outs as standard on HU. Hope that helps.
Sorry for hijacking this, but Ive got a query regarding outputs from the standard headunit.
Ive got an amp sitting in the garage currently not being used - is there any way I can send a signal from the standard headunit to the amp? I presume the standard headunit doesnt have any RCAs. I cant afford a new headunit (and would rather keep the standard one - whole dash looks good with it IMO). Monkey45, can you explain a bit more about converting speaker outputs, etc.??? Thanx.
To be honest mate I always had RCAs so never used this lead or worked out how it does its magic. Ill have a look when I get home to see if Ive still got it somewhere. Would have been about 7 years ago, mind! So it might just sit in the corner mumbling to imaginary friends and wetting its pants!
True
better to run it off a high voltage Pre amplified output, pure sound straight from source !!
