it also has RCA inputs and outputs for amps and other random audio sources you may have like an external computer running audio, or a cd changer or whatever... having the mini sterio input on the face and on the usb/sd adapter, along with a usb and sd reader, i wouldnt see any reason to use any other audio sources... but the RCA input still allows for it. maybe if you wanted to run a DVD player through the head unit?? but i'm not putting that much tech in my truck, just a SIMPLE sterio for now, MAYBE subs/amp in the future...

I'm a technology buff and so having such an old car with so much old technology I like having one piece in the truck that is totally modern and up to date with current trends (aka USB/SD memory to hold MP3 instead of CD or CD Changers...)

again, once I get some speakers and mount them, and mount the card reader ill throw more photos up!
I made the Sam choice and love it. No antenna. With smart phones I downloaded radio apps and pandora, aux input and voila. Went with kick panel speakers that I think retrosound made and am very pleased. Tossed in a low end low profile powered sub that fits under a stock bench and really like it.

How did you manage to clean up all the wires around the steering column base?
