I recently bought the 2008 Civic that says it's ''XM ready''.  I know that's just a play on words meaning if you hook enough cables up to it, it will eventually work.  What I am wanting to know is what does it take to hook it up??  I have the Alpine TUA-T020xm tuner box.  Can I be the luckiest man on Earth and have ...

There are a few things that you need to know about when adding amp to any system. We have set up a thread that helps with these issues. As for getting an aux input line for your iPod for your 2001 Chevy Impala, we do have any easy solution.
