ACM Substitute?

here is a pic of all you see once it is installed. this is looking down at the center console. rca plugs on the unit, usb and ipod on cables. if you have the cd changer, the button below (next to in actuality) is a bypass allowing the cd changer to work instead of the ACM.

suggested retail cost is $249 plus 1 hour of labor, but pricing varies by dealer. still have the stock head unit, used inline rca taps on rear speaker wires at the rear of the radio for amp input. boxes done, amp rack is not. working on design #3 currently since i haven't liked anything i have come up with yet.

Thanks for the pics nineball. I'm still trying to find a place (rather than the dealer) that could sell & install the ACM in my area.
Personally, I kinda like having the CD Changer in the back and the sound quality I get from my Nano Tunedeck is better than CD quality.

i believe there is a adapter to convert big (computer) USB to small (blackberry) usb. If you find that I dont see there being an issue. As far as a ACm goes, my buddy bought this fm modulator which had wires for both big and small usb so you can hook up a usb key or in his case his samsung instinct. We were in his car watching music videos off of youtube with full sound through the factory speakers. He even had a cellphone mount to mount it up on his windshield. it was pretty cool but too bad the screen was liek only 3 inches. I maybe goign to the states in the next week or 2 I will find out what brand it is and where to buy it. He said it was cheaper than $30

But I'm pretty sure the acm taps into the fiber optics of the car to use it. I don't know of a rca connector for it...I've never done it though either so I don't really know for sure but I don't think there is just a set of rca's to connect it to. I know on the back of my radio there wasn't any form of connection on the back.

below i have some pictures of the EQ i install, the eq has a build in aux to connect your mp3 with rca wires. i have two amps. one for bass and the other one for the factory stereos speakers. it sound much better and i can connect my mp3
