The only way to use high level inputs would be to keep the boston acoustics amp in place and hook the outputs from the factory amp that normally goes to factory speakers to the high level inputs of the ms-8. The way I was going to wire mine up was by soldering rcas (or use ******** harness) to the factory radio low-level input to the ms-8 rca input. You do make a valid point about the backup sensors being lost and I didnt think about that until now... That is a big bummer and now I dont think I will get the processor unless their is a way around it..
Im not sure I understand. Theres still front right and left speaker outputs coming from the radio to the BA amp correct? So why cant we take those and run them to the processor?

As I said I do have the ******** harness so for ease of integration Ill probably just plug that in and use the front rca jacks.

What if the ms-8 is connected like normal using the front inputs, and then I can take the rear channel lo level input from the radio and tie it to the center channel speaker. I think this will work, but it may have a lower sound than normal because its going from lo-level to high level.
Thats funny I was also contemplating how to get the beep to the center channel.

Why cant we again take the high level outputs from the radio and wire those to the center channel. Only problem is we have to run wires from back of car to center channel or remove radio and tap into wires up front.
