QUESTIONS ABOUT PAC DASH KIT AND PIONEER NEX RADIO
I know there's been a lot of posts about the Pac dash kit. I'm about to get it installed and have a few questions. I want to have my own thread so I can find the answers quickly. I'm not doing it myself but I like to be knowledgeable on anything I get done to my car.
1. Is it neccessary to extend the wires? I want to extend the wires so its easier to install the radio I want. 2. I read the manual and I'm confused on how to wire the chime. Does the chime have to be wired to the BCM? 3. Does anything need to be programmed out the box? 4. I know the factory back up camera will still work but will the sensors still work? 5. I want to get the pioneer nex 2330. Will the screen be able to flip in and out with no problem? I dont want to have to cut too much behind the radio. 6. Do the steering wheel controls work good with the pioneer radio? 7. Can I still use the fark harness to connect the speakers to my 4 channel amp. 8. Any suggestions for a great audio shop in Michigan? |

And I have the fark harness. Will i get a better signal to my amps using the rcas via the fark or plugging in the rcas behind the radio?

From what I read extending the wires is connecting more wires to make the harness longer so you can put the module somewhere else like the glove box. Do you have an aftermarket amp? If so do you have the rca's connected to the back of the radio or the fark harness? |

Listen, I only chose that radio because of the price. I don’t need half of the features that comes with it. I just wanted CarPlay. Having said that, I recommend looking into the mechless radios for extra space in the dash. I don’t listen to CDs so you can save space with going with one of these units. |

I have AVH-Z9200.7". The screen flip in and out with any problem.
Steering wheel controls work. "My only complain is my radio doesn’t completely mute. It goes to ATT" I have the same thing. |

I actually like the att instead of mute. So should I hook the rcas up to the back of the radio or leave them connected to the Fark harness?

Drove my car today and one of your questions was about the steering wheel controls. I noticed today that on a phone call through Apple CarPlay on my pioneer radio, the end call button didn’t work by just pressing it. I may have to try long pressing it because I’m not sure if that’s how it’s setup but I just figured I’d give you a heads up.

Where does the factory sound plug go? I have the BA system but I replaced the amp using the fark. So do I still hook it up to the amplified side on the PAC module? Or standard?
