01 LS430 UL Factory ML Nav system audio integration
Whats the best method to integrate aftermarket amplifiers and speakers to the factory ML Nav system? I know all the audio/A/C controls are part of the ML Nav system so I would probably leave that alone and add to it with aftermarket amps and speakers. Right now Ive heard the Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 and AudioControl DQL-8 are the way to go. But was hoping someone with more experience could chime in. Also Im assuming there is no way to supply the stock nav with a video signal?
Thanks

just don't use the steering controls. to gain i pod, dvd and better sounding system is worth not using the steering controls. (just in case it gets crazy like that other thread about replacing the ml system. my stereo sounds better to me and i really don't care what ml purest think.)

I like the set up. Can you provide more information on where to get it and how it was done? Thanks.
