Mike,
With the entertainment inputs to the
PS Engineering audio panel, swapping out my old stereo to the new one with
satellite radio was pretty much a non-event from a wiring
standpoint. I have RCA pins running to the audio panel inputs and
just swapped the output from the old stereo for the new one and changed the
power, ground and keep alive wires. The panel I have (UPS SL-15,
aka PS 7000) has a second entertainment input that I have wired to a
jack next to my back seat. Normally, my panel mounted stereo
feeds all four seats, but if you put a jumper cable between that jack and a
Walkman, I-Pod, portable DVD player or other input, it becomes the
audio input to my back seats and you're essentially running two different
channels of entertainment in the cabin. That's why my 16 year old son
often prefers to sit in back, so he doesn't have to listen to the old farts
music we usually have on the stereo.
The nice thing about this set up is
knowing that if something newer and better comes along, it's a pretty easy thing
to swap out the stereo again as long as the new one fits in the same hole in the
panel.
