RE: help with headunit
No, the shaker does not have any AUX inputs, your going to have to buy a wiring harness adapter from crutcfield. Now man, I'm just going to be straight up, lose the shaker, it sucks, and you will NOT be able to adjust your subs seperate from your regular bass, you can use a bass control ***, but everything is still going to sound like crap. Buy an after market headunit, it's so worth it if you want good sound !!!
To remove the shaker is pretty easy. Pull the two side trim pieces around the Head Unit towards you.
Than you unscrew the middle dash kit there are 6 hex bolts use a ratchet set, you need to disconnect the harness' for the TCS buttons, the cig lighter, and the info/ reset buttons.
Next remove the A/C wire harness, now be careful you dont start banging this thing because you will damage those controls. the left A/C harness is easy to get off, the one on the right is where you have to be careful. There are sensitive parts in there that will break if you get pist at this thing. It is held in by a clip that comes down over top the harness. Use a little screwdriver to push the side of the retaining clip in, which will release the clamp and slide it all the way up until the harness comes out.
Now you have that panel out of the way and you will find four more screws holding your stereo in, take those off and pull out, but be careful as usual they don't leave much extra wire, but you may find some tucked in so see if you got lucky before yanking.
I hope this helps, I know it's not the best write up, but it's better than nothing lol......

What is required with a new head unti to hook up existing amps, subs speakers, and will this cure the problems?
