I believe it’s part of the HVAC controls. I don’t remember 100% but I don’t remember having to do anything extra. |

Where does the sound plug go? In the amplified side or the standard side? I have the ba system but I have the fark harness with an aftermarket 4 channel. And I will be leaving the harness in for the speaker wires.

I have the same set up I plug the harness into the amplified side this way you get power back at your stock amp and then use that harness to adapt off of there for your aftermarket amp. It’s probably a good idea to run new RCA’s all the way from the rear of your radio into the trunk but I was lazy and didn’t want to do it. Especially since I already had the fark harness |

Hey if I can give you a heads up, research the antenna connection. I know I just used the plug and play and my reception is pretty terrible now. I followed the instructions on 5 star car stereos YouTube video but it doesn’t sound that good. |

just did a nex2300 pac and the fark is a waste if money if you are running rca's...
the chime module that the pac has is a door chime and beeps for my backup sensors i only had to cut out a very small part of the dash the old radio support so the fark is only good for adding a sub amp to a factory stereo. the fark don't goto the factory speaker outs it just taps in before the amp to the low signal. here is the wire harness explained that came from the boston amp that you need to wire up the speakers colors and what they do blue with black stripe right rear - light blue right rear + dark green right front - light green right front + gray left front - tan left front + blue with white stripe left rear - dark blue left rear + cut them and splice some wire from your 4 channel to them now if you are color blind i can't help you LOL do it that way and it took me 15 min and i saved 90 buck's but i have was a installer back in the 90's and i have never paid anyone to do my installs for me.your mileage may vary https://youtu.be/jP28s8uyjVI?t=2 honestly putting it back together with the gauge pack is a pia i had to get the gauge bezel in place and not lock it down leave it loose and i had to leave the radio bezel loose if you slow the video down you will see it not real easy.almost worth paying to have done |

How were you able to get the screen to open? I'm getting mines installed right now and the installers cant get the screen to open. I have the pioneer nex 4500. They said they didnt want to cut the bottom because it's so close to the control board.

Honestly when I did the install it wouldn’t open. As I have driven it, it must have somehow shifted and now it does |

I have the pioneer AVIC W8500NEX. and had the same problem. I used a flat file and small rotating sanding pad (removing larger amount of plastic). and carefully filed down the plastic along the whole bottom, careful not to file the circuit board. I found the color of the faceplate plastic underneath is very close to the painted surface. and the bottom of the screen hids the bottom of the faceplate. I've done fabrication work for years as a mechanic, so some people may not want to take this task on.
