[Shotimes] Redundant radio control

[Bill Murray]

You can get those adapters for just about any car out there.  PAC is
probably the number 1 company, theres also anyother one, but I can't
think of it.  Blitzsafe may also have those, I know they sell cables for
connecting CD changers to factory or aftermarket Heads.
