no system as far as i kno. just a head unit, although the speakers r very good for stock speakers (that is if they are in fact stock). the lights dim, and slowly goback to normal. maybe it is a weak alternator. wouldnt an alternator cause more problems than dimmed lights?

exactly. im not looking for a V6. the install is too complicated. 40-45 HP is enough for me to work with, unless the install to the B6 is just as complicated. can it be modded?

I cant figure ...
