Aftermarket System Factory HU

So I have been out of car audio for a few years. I wrecked my car kept all of my old equipment and just never got around to installing it back into my new car. I sold off a few pieces of equipment but from all of the upgrades I have done over the years I pretty much still have an entire system waiting to be put into a car. So I am thinking about installing it into my car but I no longer have a source unit and I am thinking of just keeping the factory radio. I know Rockford Fosgate made the 3sixty which allowed you to install a system off the factory source. I also think there was the JL CleanSweep which was a cheaper alternative. My question is, is there anything newer out there that I can use? I want to hook up a 4 channel amp for fronts and rears and then a second amp for a sub. But I just have no need to change out the source unit. It has everything I need with an ipod connection, USB input, and hard drive. It also has the info system read out for the car hooked into it and I dont feel like dealing with a replacement for that. I would rather spend that 400-500$ that I would spend on replacing the source unit and get something like that 3sixty that allows me to hook up the amps I have and has a built in cross over. Any suggestions you guys have that will help me alleviate this problem would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Many manufacturers make line level converters. I used one from Scosche and never had any problems with it. PAC makes a popular one. I'm sure you know about the basic types. I'd look to somewhere in the dash to stash it. So, the littler the better...
