    Ihave heard to many bad things on the aftermarket radios, ive heard people would not buy if they knewwhat they were getting. You can take a original 1 and have it redone with modern equipment am fm, cd.

    J.U.N.K, is the best adjective, to describe the USA-1 through USA-6 head units. For around the same money as the USA-6 head unit, you can have a factory A/C radio gutted and converted to AM/FM stereo with AUX, for iPod or MP3. I have had a few done and there are several outfits, that perform this conversion. If you are interested, I will provide links to these companies. In closing, I wouldn't waste my money on the aftermarket units. I have the USA-5 & USA-6, out of the truck, back in the boxes and sitting on my shelf, in favor of the converted unit.

    hmm thanks - seems like the aftermarket radios insen't worth spending my money on.

    @LILRED66 : Sounds interresting, I would really much like some links. My problem is that i dont have an original radio, and don't live in the US (lives in Denmark) so I have to find a original radio on the internet, get it converted and then shipped to Denmark.
