Updated PAC install instructions for anyone running this in a late model Chrysler http://www.pac-audio.com/PACProductData/RP4-CH11/1_Instructions/rp4-ch11_instructions_050913.pdf

Update. It seems that PAC discovered this "compatibility issue" after I installed the radio. In fact, they just revised their installation manual on May 9! Once again, I guess that's the price you pay to be an early adopter! Now I get to pull out the head unit and connect the front output of the AVIC to the rear input of the PAC (and leave the others disconnected) and I should be in business. I might as well download and update the firmware for the PAC at the same time since they've decided to add some functionality in the last few weeks as well.

Thanks, but, I think maybe you missed mine. I connected ALL FOUR sets of speaker leads to the PAC interface just as directed, but it indicates nowhere that only one set are used via the interface. In fact, if that were the case, one would expect there to be only two sets of leads and instructions that state to only use the rear output from the head unit to the interface. I was also referring to the fader on the head unit. The fader has absolutely no effect on the sound in these cars. I'm not even sure what you're alluding to when you say "your vehicle's hardware has nothing to do wi

Thanks for the reply. Well, I know that the fader doesn't actually even work on these cars. Apparently this is due to the interface that we use to install in our cars and the Uplevel amplified system that we have in these cars. It inputs the stereo as the "video entertainment system" if I remember correctly and does not allow you to fade from front to rear. I wonder if there is any work around for this because if not, it's more than just a little annoying that 2 of the major reasons for buying this unit are now useless.

Ok, I'm sure I'm not the only one here with this issue, but here's the deal: I have the z150bh in a 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 and I don't think I've ever heard the navigation directions. I know that I also can't hear the BT incoming (or out going) caller on the other line, but they can hear me. Any ideas how to fix this? And yes, I've checked the obvious (nav/phone volume settings) I'm getting nothing, but for phone calls, the unit does mute the music. (though it doesn't even seem to try for navigation... nothing changes while driving with nav on... music plays as normal and nobody eve

Actually, you're the one who can't read, but you're calling me the idiot? Sounds about right. Yes, I knew, because I read the Pioneer website, that the iphone 5 would need a firmware update and no, I wasn't "pissed" when I had to wait an additional 24 hours for the update because I know that as an early adopter, that's exactly the kind of stuff I have to deal with. I said you were full of it about the price and I was right... I don't buy that you "got confused" about what you paid and what you sold your old unit for... unless, again, you are the idiot because most people can keep the p

He didn't... he's full of crap. Which is why he never responded with proof. Like I said, if he did, it was procured in some "less-than-legitimate" way because that's below dealer cost and unless he is a sponsored competitor (which, if he were, he wouldn't be on here complaining) then he's not buying a new release product at below dealer cost legitimately.

He's talking about the Iphone 5. The radio has been out about a month.

$670 I'm calling BS unless you can prove that. (and prove it wasn't stolen). That's well below dealer cost.

Well, dems da breaks! That's what happens when you insist on being an early adopter... you wait on the rest of the world to catch up! It sucks, but I have plenty of music options on my z150 at this point and worst case I can stream via BT (which I know isn't what any of us prefer to do) but hopefully Apple will move uncommonly fast on this app update and we won't have to wait much longer. I wonder which app it is that we are waiting on. Probably some random BS app that nobody uses.

Got mine and got it wired up and ready to install in the morning... (It's too cold to do a 1am install this time of year... if it were summer, that bad boy would already be in!)

This thread is completely worthless... Hey I got "Scammed" but I'm not gonna tell you HOW or by whom... GEE, thanks for the "heads up"

Ok, cool. I will try to suppress my anxiety for another day or so.... I Told you to avoid USPS like the plague... They've ruined customer perception for me NUMEROUS times in the past...(it's funny how YOU look bad when THEY don't deliver) which is why I now refuse to use them for ANYTHING except sending bills that I really don't want to pay... hoping that they DO lose those, but miraculously, those always arrive ON TIME...

Bottom line... You're out of your mind and you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Best Buy and Circuit City have VERY different business models and they always have and that is precisely why CC is SOL and BB is BAU (Business as usual). The store in our town is KILLING it right now in the middle of a supposed economic downturn... why, because they understand how to do business.... CC forgot that LONG ago.

Alright Thom, It's been 2 weeks and still no sign of the knob... Looks like the USPS lost another one. Hook me up and fedex one to me would ya? This miniscule factory knob is killing me already and I've only had the unit installed for 3 days now!
