Just bought an 09 sedan and don't want to use a new headunit. Does the stock cd player have RCA inputs? I want to hook up an amp from my old car and just want to be as minimally invasive as possible

I think the only input it has in between the seats and that’s a 3.5mm or 1/4”.

Are you looking for RCA outputs for your amp?

Wishful thinking.

Suck it up and buy an aftermarket HU.

Get a Line Output Converter (LOC)

what does that accomplish can you explain how it works?

It is a magic box that has wires going into it that you hook to the speaker wires coming from your factory radio and it converts those to RCA outputs. Some also have a remote turn on for your amplifier.

A fair priced one that works well is the mtx req. It's not a cheap pos yet it's also not a big dollar processor.

Would you believe I had one on my 9-3 from when I installed that system when I bought the car? AMAZING... Thanks Fellers
