Hello,

I have a 1999 Mitsubishi Montero, with the stock Infintiy sound system. I also have the stock 10 CD changer in the back of the truck. I also have a MKII.

As you know, my factory system has no inputs or outputs to connect the MKII, but it does have an amp. I would like to connect the two, and retain my factory system.

I searched the web and spoken to quite a few people. Most people think the only way to accomplish this is to use an FM modulator. I'm sure there has to be a better way.

The way I understand it, I only need two things:

1. Power to the unit.
2. signal to the (amp) speakers.

I think I can achieve this by:

1. splicing a Metra wiring harness into the ISO connector that plugs into the back of my existing stereo...and then plugging that into my MKII.

2. splicing RCA cables into the DIN cable that connects my amp to the existing stereo..and then plugging the rca cables into my MKII.

I'm sure this plan may need some revision but I dont have a clue how.

What are your thoughts?
