Most that I've seen and worked with hook up that way, but I'm not
sure if there are any variations on the hookup design. As for the
sound, you are limited only by the quality of the FM tuner in your head
unit. If it works good, it will sound good. (You're gonna have to
move this to CAR_AUDIO, I guess they finally got a car audio echo
established.) :)
