Right - as some may realize, you can't plug in an iPod to only speakers. There needs to be an amplifier in between to power the signal to the speakers. Head units usually have built in amplifiers, though not as good as a stand alone amp. While it may be possible to just mount an amp under the seat or in the trunk and hook an iPod up to that, it wouldnt be the ideal setup, for lack of on/off button, Eq, and volume controls.

I would be surprised if the car didn't come with a factory head unit in the US - though I guess there could be a "tuner" option of "stereo delete".
