Iknow about line out connverters will this work with sync system. the oem radio is a 6 disk mp3 with usb.

Answer
Hi Lee,

Sorry about the delay in answering this question.

You shouldn't have any problem using line output converters to install an after-market amp and speakers with your Sync head unit.  By the time the audio signal reaches the speaker outputs, all the Sync processing has been completed; it will work the same whether the audio signal is sent to the factory speakers, or sent to a line output converter.  Systems like yours are the reason line output converters are popular.

Hope this helps!
