Are you able to disconnect the stock stereo, hook into the new aftermarket one, but then still use the stock clock/AC controls?

Yeah there is a split adapter cable that will still let you use the screen up top for that and the after market one will control the music. The one that came with this didn't work for me so I had to get a different one

Yes it does. It is fairly easy to do, and if you are replacing another aftermarket one, than the wires may still be fine to use which it becomes even easier (unplug and unbolt old one and plug in and bolt up new).

Yes if the head unit is already installed then you have to remove it. But it's a simple 3wire connection then your good to go.

I can't do it in my car, not sure what model you have. I have an 06 Lexus. The only thing I can control by the stereo controls is the volume.

I personally have not tried to do that, however the way i set my radio up you cannot access the rear port after everything is closed back up. But you still have the USB port on the front as well, hope this helps

I don't have an aftermarket alarm so not sure. I do know that the fob is programmed by communicating with the vehicle itself so anything that wasn't stock i don't believe would be the same. Wouldn't an aftermarket alarm have its own fob though?

Only if you want the Radio song title to show on the dash. An unnecessary detail in my opinion.But if this option is important to you, call your dealership and see if they can first. It may not be an option on an aftermarket radio.

you very carefully remove the plastic trim ring around a/c control and radio .it snaps in place. then there are 4 screws to remove the unit. undo the elect connectors 2 and replace in reverse. be careful with trim

There is a kit available online. The alpine can be matched with standard connection, but for 12.00 you can not go wrong. That way you can replace the oem radio at sale.

A lot of times you will need the adapter with a aftermarket head unit because the aftermarket unit won't support your stock Sirius

You can be pretty creative when wiring it up... It's going to take a little research on your part but you could have a on/off/on toggle switch in your center console that allows you to switch between the oem horn and your aftermarket horn and they could both operate off of steering wheel horn activation independently. Or you could hook it straight up to the horn switch on your steering column. You are only limited by your imagination and effort.

did you find aftermarket connectors or just wired them to the factory ones that you cut off?

if you had an after market radio in the car before this one, you can splice the old connector with the new radio, but you have to match up the wires correctly and there will be 2 or 3 extra wires loose depending on what the radio can do.

Yes - You can REMOVE a sensor at the key pad or DELETE it with the Master keyfob (easy way I am sure) or by logging in to your computer and deleting it from the complete list that is displayed. SAVE the change and then plug the master Key pad into the tower that communicates with the monitoring service - it will sync with the new configuration. The real easy way is to put it in a box still working.Do not just take the battery out or carry it out of range as the system will report errors within 24 hours. It misses any of its missing "children".

Additional parts are required. If you had another aftermarket stereo that it is replacing, you may be able to salvage mounting parts from it, like I did with mine. But if you are replacing a factory unit probably not.

Yes, you can. Remember device works with 1996 to 2012! It is well worth it has saved many trips to dealership. If you get download dash command. You can clear codes and more.

You have to buy an additional piece for SW controls. There are a few different kinds, but the PAC RP4-ch11 is what I used. It was easy to install. Similar to installing a wiring harness. If I have one complaint, it's that mine doesn't fast forward through songs. That might be something that can be programmed. I never connected mine to a PC before installing it. Also if it makes a difference, mine was installed in a 2006 Chrysler 300c.
