    I'll bet they wired in the stock radio ( in the trunk) and that is how you retained the date on your DIC. That's the only way I know how to do that, but you should have retained chimes also. I really would like to know how it was done.

    Well you really only got 2 options then... do what simbah said and wire the factory hu in the trunk. Or just keep the factory head unit. Even when you use one of the interfaces, you lose something (date in dic). Also, the interface uses its own chimes, and it sounds crappy... deffinately doesn't sound like its supposed to. What is the reason you want a new head unit.. for subs, aux input, or something else.

    Its just a long ass, thick harness that you run to your trunk. Then plug in the factory radio and find a nice place to hide it. I usually made a box out of 1/4" MDF and carpet, or just bolted it to the rear deck lid.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.
