Stock Am/FM/CD/Tape System in '04 Monte +
Is there anyone who keeps the Stock Music Machine. I don't really need to start pulling my dash apart and adding woof's and tweak's ... I'm wondering is anybody is satisfied with what GM sends along in the Monte ... or,
Is it just another box that will play tunes and be of limited performance?

Actually, the iPod interface is up for sale since I no longer have one, I've made the jump to a Microsoft Zune and i'm loving it. No need for an interface box since my deck has an aux jack on the faceplate. Make me an offer I can't refuse.

I like my Pioneer Premier DEH-P880PRS with my JL Audio amp and 12", and Pioneer replacement speakers. There is no substitute for power, especially a low volumes. I thought my Impala had better sound than the Montes. The factory speakers are junk. The factory deck is OK, but that's about it, IMO.

When you install an aftermarket sound system ... what does it do to accessing the "Menu Features" that control the various functions of the remote and timed functions of the Entry System, door lock options and Beeps and Chirps of the Key Fob and its program recognition? Oil Life Monitoring reset; too?
