    Default Keep stock screen working with aftermarket stereo

    Hi there,

    I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the stereo but also keep the small screens near the dash working as well.

    Thanks!

    What do you mean by upgrading the stereo? Like sub/amp combo? Door speakers etc? You absolutely can.
    They say I'm an addict but I don't have a problem with alcohol or drugs. I'm an addict because I can't live without bass. Car audio is my addiction. And it will never change.

    In the gen 2s. No, the screen does pretty much nothing after the stock stereo comes out. Unless you have the dual mid, then the one works fine, the other not so much
