The rf requires an external amp to work, while the stock one uses an internal one. Get an amp and the right harness and it should work. No rca outs on the rf.

Do if I get the reg and it’s external amp and wire harness it should work

I have a question somewhat related to this. I have the RF in my 2003 and I think it sounds terrible. Also, I want to update as well. So, I'd like to replace the RF double din radio with a double din touchscreen that has Android Auto and Apple Car Play. My question is, I had a car MANY years ago that had a factory amp in it, separate from the factory radio. And it was a nightmare to bypass that amp. Is there a relatively easy way to remove the RF radio and RF amp and then use a new radio and use the new radio's internal amp to run the speakers in the door?
