Its somewhat stupid, but its half the price of the fancy electronic adapter, sometime even less. The factory radio will be completely out of the audio loop, it just needs to 'check in' with the car each time you turn it on.

Yeah you can do it this way also.....im not sure what the part number is off the top of my head something like Metra 71-2003-1.....this allows for you to keep the factory radio in the car...i.e. in the trunk or under a seat...and still be able to use an aftermarket head unit....each way will work the same just depend on if u wanan keep the radio somewhere or if u just wanna have it out completely
