Default Stock Unit Or Aftermarket?

Curious who prefers to go aftermarket with their CD deck or keep it stock and original?

You can keep your steering wheel controls with an aftermarket head unit..... FYI

Why do you say aftermarket for the Camaro? The Camaro Monsoon systems and Firebrid/TA Monsoon's are all the same as far as I know.

The steering wheel controls can still be used as long as the aftermarket head unit uses a infrared remote control.
The most common interface is made by pac called a SWI-X

I love my Alpine also But I would consider going back to stock if I could find a complete monsoon setup. I just don't crank the system like I used to and I would like to lose the extra weight of the box and sub.I would miss my Ipod hookup though. Maybe the JL Audio Stealthbox would be a good idea. Not sure yet

I think I might switch to the stealthbox. I don't crank it much, but every once in a while........

I like my aftermarket. It has a USB so I can just plug in my thumb drive and cruise around, then change it when I want.
