no you cant use it with an aftermarket head unit. but if you wanna go with factory you ll be able to use it. when you go after market on these cars you have to run new wires for the speakers bc the factory unit is setup all wacky like.

im afraid the joystick only connects to your stock clarion unit. it also splits into 2 amps iirc. i have a s2 w/ premium sound system so it might be a little different. the joystick does not work since you do not have your stock stereo when you hooked it up or you might have a bad fuse for your radio harness. i think they joystick balancer is the coolest thing ever. 80's style 360 degree surround sound!!
