4:32 ughhh.... I was hoping you would talk about the speaker/amp wiring for the ford/mercury pac. My Milan has the factory Sony system with amp in the trunk(?) If I connect the speaker wires from the pac wire harness to my new head unit (Dual) harness, doesn't that mean the signal sent to the Sony factory amp will be speaker, not line level? Which would be bad. ? Unless thats how the factory head unit works, and the Sony amp converts the signal to a lower, constant level. Just guessing.
Hey man I just want to say thank you this helped out so much with my installation I was really thinking the head unit was broken but I got it all figured out now 😊
Why dont both sub connections from harness get connected to radio? And if you use a rca y connector to do so, what's purple and green? negative and positive?
Thank you so much!!!! Absolutely great guide and the only one that went into so much detail. I didnt know that the kenwoods used that blue and yellow wire and no one explained it like you did. Thanks!!!
Great video man, i find so many people have problems with the installation of PAC products The uni SWI's have got me outta a lot of situations with wrong items being ordered
Very Niiiiiiice Bro. Thanks for this video. I have a RP5 GM31 installed on my system I went from Dual brand to Pioneer brand. I plan to upgrade my radio to another Pioneer brand, do I need to disconnect my battery to swap to my newer radio? All interface connections have been in place since my first Dual brand aftermarket radio. I will also be sure to check the DIAL on the interface to be sure it reflects Pioneer.
What do I do if I’d like to run my stock amplifier as well as a secondary amplifier and subwoofer set? I only had enough money for a cheap head unit so I do not have a 3.5mm and only have two sets of audio inputs plugs on the back and one set for a reverse camera
Have an atoto a6 and rp5-gm31 going into 2010 silverado with bose got it powered up but no sound or steering controls orange &brown steering key wire on pac Brown &blue/w yellow from radio need help!!
I'm using the Toyota version with a PB Micro-bypass on my Alpine unit. Do I need to connect the light green PB wire from the PAC harness to anything or just leave unconnected? TIA
Great video. It appears I wired mine correctly to my 2008 Mercury Milan with Sync. I disconnected the sync behind the console, per instructions. Everything works except steering wheel controls. I set it to 2 for my JVC. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Great video. Would you happen to have instructions for a PAC RPK5-GM4102 with a Sony XAV-AX5600? I worried about the wiring. I tried to order it pre-wired but it was not available when I ordered it.
Just tried to put an alpine 7” in my 2008 Silverado with scosche wiring harness. Couldn’t even get no power. Going to pick up a pac tomorrow hoping that all my bells and steering control and everything works.
For the black box model, I have this RP 5GM 11 and I am intending on upgrading the door speakers as soon as I can from the Bose factory unit but currently I have my mono amp and one subwoofer wired in ready to connect to remote, but I don’t know if I should connect the harness as non-amplified or amplified since I’ll be running a separate amp if it’ll be an issue. Obviously when I get my door speakers in for channel, I know I bypass it completely but in the meantime, do I need to bypass so I don’t have interference or will it continue to power the door speakers and everything operate. Unfortunately the paperwork for installing this harness doesn’t really have any diagram or info, so I’m kind of at a wall. All my wires are connected and tied up, ready to go. It looks like, but then I have another harness I don’t even know where I’m supposed to tap into or if I cut it and re-wire but it just doesn’t seem like that it’s I’m all tied in and clean and taped up. It seems like it should be plug and play but I’m afraid to do so right now
If the radio does not have a 3.5 mm input for the steering wheel controls but has a "Key 1" and "Key 2" wire (or something similar), you connect the blue/yellow output wire of the module to Key 1.

Is there a reason why you connect the power antenna wire to the remote turn on wire instead of the 12v power wire? I’m trying to figure out my wiring for my rp5-gm31 to my android radio.
I think I seen this done in another video or talked about this. I believe one of the wires isn't on the other harness so you can connect both together and then plug it onto the other harness that does have one of them.
So I have this harness for my 2012 f150 fx4. I have sound coming from the front speakers only. I don’t get steering wheel functions, rear speaker sound or the amp doesn’t turn on? I have the dial on 7 for pioneer. Am I doing something wrong?
Got it done. Worked. Was awesome. Watched this video over and over doing it. I accidentally had the accessory wires soldered in on the wrong side of the rp5. Rehooked them up on the head unit side of the rp5 and harness. I say "wires" cause I also installed one of the parking brake bypass units like you did. Where it automatically sends the signal that the brake is engaged for the two time stamps. It all worked perfect after I rehooked up the amp and parking brake bypass accessory wires to the correct side of the rp5.
What if your stereo doesnt have the hole for the jack and you have to wire the blue and yellow but at the stereo harnest I dont have the blue and yellow
@@jptheinstallguy same here mine doesn’t have hole for jack but my harness has green wire that is for SWC-Key 1, a Brown for SWC- Key 2, and a black for SWC ground. My brand head unit is Power Acoustik (CPAA-70M). There is not very much instruction in both manuals for my head unit and the PAC interface which got me confused
@@jptheinstallguy Any info on this issue? Many aftermarket radios don't have the jack for a SWC, instead they have SWC-1 and SWC-2 wire connections. After searching for days, I can't find anything out there about this.

Thank you JP, this harness has given me such heartburn
What if you’re using your own amplifiers do you still use the non-amplified or the amplified?

Man you literally answered my question in the first 3 min thank you lol
Can i tap the remote wire for an external amplifier? Thanks
Dope vid man. Appreciate the detailed video. Gonna install a radio next week and I was worried about all this wiring but you made it look easy.
💯💯💯💯
When the accessory harness has purple and purple with black tracer those don't get wired in together correct? I just connect color to color?
Loved the video. I had it all figured out but didn’t see anything about he SWC wires that accompanied the 3.5mm Jack. Luckily I don’t need it.
Do you have a video for the PAC NU-GM4
What pac do I need for my 2004 denali with Boas system.

This video helped me out alot, it was a lot more informative than some of the others I watched, Thank you
Thank you
What number do you set pac to if head unit is an off brand? 🤔
Ty for this video. You helped me understand what I'm doing.
Hey JP, can I reuse my PAC unit from another vehicle GM to GM vehicle?
Dude, great video you explain everything very well!
Without annoying music in the background....I appreciate this tutorial.

What i do with the back up camera if my expedition does have one ??

Yea man how did the pac harness work?
@@jptheinstallguy perfect! Along with the micro bypass works beautifully.
I bought a sjoybring radio and having trouble wiring it to a rp5-31gm... Can you help
Best video on these pac's out!Thanks my man
Can you plz make a video on wiring a pac in a 2008 Mazda cx9.

Does the link u put also include the wiring harness?
very professional bro👍🏻. i can tell that ain't your first rodeo lol
My stereo doesn't have the jack for the interface, where do I hook up the wire for the steering wheel buttons?
If the radio does not have a 3.5 mm input for the steering wheel controls but has a "Key 1" and "Key 2" wire (or something similar), you connect the blue/yellow output wire of the module to Key 1.
you have help me so much on my install of my ram rebel 2019..thanks👍😎❗
I need help … where do I put the blue yellow wire if I don’t have the 3.5 mil option. Using kenwood to a wrangler

awesome!!! thank you

If you had Sync for your stock system or a audiophile system, you have to disconnect sync and the amp. It's a control module for Sync.
@@heavymetalhippie1434 where do I disconnect it from??
What about for back up camera how do I make it mine work ?
Did you ever found out ??
Doing mine tomorrow hopefully.

Never soldered a thing in my life and now cartoys is asking me to turn 8n a resume of my one job. Guy told me I'd get picked up by any cartoys.
You are a blessing. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I try man 🤜🏾🤛🏾

if your radio doesnt have anywhere to put swc control jack or wire then the radio doesnt support steering wheel controls
