new head unit

i was looking foward to getting a new head unit on my car, because in my last truck i could use an aux. cable for my ipod. but while at the shop the guy asked if i had the premium sound system. i said yes, and he stated that an aftermarket HU wouldn't work with the speakers or the amp. and he then told me it would be a good $1,000 to replace the amp and the speakers. i just want to know has anyone with the pioneer sound system put in an aftermarket HU, and if so, any problems? many thanks!!

what year is your car? 07s and up need a $100 harness, which is expensive, but not as much as hes telling you.
