it sounds like some type of inline modulator with a power source, i dont see how you can fastforward or rewind per say from the head unit, unless you can manage a way to interface directly with the headunit itself, cause there is only so many wires coming off it and they are just power, ground, speakers and dimmer/antenna wires. remote turn on if you have an amp.

I would guess unless this has a specific plug for eclipse/talon's harness, you could use it with any radio. it may have specific bracketing for that car as well.

but what you describe it just sounds like a normal hardwire'd modulator.
