I just wanted to say that I REALLY enjoy watching these videos. more so than the ones where the answers are in the manual. I am an installer and have been doing it professionally for 22 yrs. I have added some of the things that you do just because I can always grow. I will say though that I do NOT de-pin harnesses like that because if the customer gets another vehicle that takes that same harness they now have to buy another harness ( which that harness is 80-120 ). also, when you cut the swc wire close like that what if they change their mind or like a jvc/kenwood next? you then either have to sell them a new harness OR order another swc harness and make them wait until it comes in. yes I know this is ONLY what ifs ( the jeep doesn't have swc but what if they change vehicles with swc or change radios or change vehicles and need the pins you modified in the harness ). I will say top notch though and I really look forward to these videos. need a nex firmware update video for the new version. also, side note.... what activator do you use with the ca glue?
david olsin thank you very much. The Pioneer boxes in the background are full of spare parts. I have spare parts, wires with pins, and plugs in abundance. Kind of a pack rat that way. Yes we are going to have that new update video soon. Thank you again. Is there any tool you love that is unique? Would love to hear about it.
we need more people like you guys in this 12volt industry that are willing to take the time to share there knowledge and experiences. Im an installer who trolls the Internet always looking for knowledge to grow. they say "The day you think you know it all Is the day you stop learning" With the way technology is changing in our industry you have to keep an open mind and be willing to continue to learn. I know I will be. Thank you guys and I greatly appreciate what you do....keep the videos coming...
chitwnkrz thank you and I totally agree with your out look on learning. Never stop
One key recommendation mentioned in this video saved me! Don't overtighten the screws for the new head unit. I had tried overtightening to keep the unit safe and stable and had issues with putting the dash back on. I loosened the screws a little to just make them snug... and BAM! Thanks for the great video and explanations
Great video! I thought I was crazy when I tried adding the brackets initially and they weren't flush. Answered my question about what I needed to do.
Awesome videos, love to watch fellas!
hey! great video! quick question. if i splice it with the after market head unit. will the basic bass treble setting function on the after market head unit?
I was wondering if this method of cutting the bottom of the dash kit will work for the 2012 challenger because I couldn't make it fit flush it sticks in a bit
What is the difference between the PAC SWI-RC and the PAC RP4-CH11? Do they both serve the same purpose? The radio I got came with the SWI-RC and Im not sure if I can keep that one or if I am going to need to get the RP4-CH11 instead. Also for a Jeep Wrangler JK too fyi
Great video! I'm hoping my upcoming install looks half as good as the wire dressing you did in this video.
It looks like using the green wire from the PAC module works with a manual transmission for signaling new radio to turn on the rearview camera. Can you confirm this?
I'm wanting to know I'm putting a pioneer in at 2017 jeep wrangler unlimited there is a small cable connector with green wires going to it what do I hook that up to and how do I get the factory satellite radio antenna connect to the new unit?
Hey this video really helped me understand the harness. However, I just installed a Sony xav-ax5000 in my jeep wrangler with factory amplifier, I followed everything to the end. But for some reason I can't turn on or off the subwoofer in thr eq settings. Is this because that option in only for wiring without a factory amp?
Thanks
Thanks for the video. Ended up getting the PAC unit because of this video. About 2 minutes into the video, you were re-pinning the wiring harness to match the factory plug and referenced a video/link explaining this. I did not see a link. Any help?
You said you had a video on redoing the pins on the harness? Is there a link to that video
Hey guys! i just got the Kenwood DDX9703S unit and it was installed by the geek squad at Best Buy - I went in to try to bypass this and the Lt. green wire is capped with a red wire with a white stripe. I have searched and searched the internet to try to find what this red/white wire is for but cannot figure it out. Im fearful of separating without knowing what I'm doing.
with these two capped together can I still do the break bypass? would I need to separate them? what do I do with the red/white wire if I separate them?
Hi!!!, I was looking several videos from you...and I have a doubt. I have a Jeep Compass 2007, and I am trying to install a radio brand Sony. I have an arnes to conect to the original arnes in the car, have too an adapter antena and the radio. I was trying to install it by myself and it is not working. Do I need an interface??. I dont have steering wheel control and it is not amplified, just basic.
I have a 2017 wrangler unlimited sport. I just got the 4200 and maestro rr with the ch1 harness. My only confusion is I have a manual transmission. The diagram says the purple/white wire is nc but from the radio harness that purple/white gets connected to the white/grey wire from the passenger kick panel. Is this necessary? There’s not enough wire to get it there. It you have to go this route I’m guessing you just use more wire. If you have any knowledge on that please let me know because I saw the vehicle you were doing this on was a Manual.
So I didn’t see where a microphone was installed. Were you about to use the factory mic or did you use the one that comes with the stereo? If so where do you place it
Im using the Pac rp4-ch11 with a Pioneer head unit, i connected everything as you did but I don't get any sound at all and no steering wheel controls. It turns on fine but nothing else. Also my factory radio had a small white box taped to the top with a wire running into the steering column. but isn't connected to the radio just taped on top, any idea what that is or what is going wrong?
Legends, thanks from Australia 😁
I am hooking up a Maestro CH1 Harness with a Kenwood DXX9703S head into a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The wiring instruction shows a red/brown and yellow/brown wire going into the OBDii connecter in pin locations 6 and 14 under the dash. There is nothing I can find that details how to do this. Any suggestions?
Is there any way on the Pioneer NEX receivers to turn off the "The video may appear reversed" notification. Specifically on the AVH-2300NEX?
Great video guys. I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler and replacing radio with a Pioneer AVH-2330NEX using a Maestro harness. I get everything to work except no sound from speakers. Can't figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks
So, one question in that module where you can still use the factory usb port, Can i find the factory Mic, so I don't have to use the one that comes with the stereo?
I have an extra small white 3 wire harness, (coming from the vehicle that went to the stock head unit), left over after my Kenwood install. I dont know what it is and theres no where for it to plug into. Any ideas what that is?
Is PAC C2R-CHY4 the right pac for a Chrysler pacifica touring 2006? i not able to get my factory amp to come on please help..
Hey Random question I can't seem to find the answer anywhere what is the stock word harness Ignition wire color
Hi I have a question. I have 2014 wrangler. I add it radio pro 4 with a pioneer radio that has apple CarPlay. For some real my Siri and I can’t hear nobody on my radio when I make a call. Please need some help.
So do you have to re-pin the harness ???
What kind of radio was that you installed in that Wrangler? I drive a 2015
I did everything in this video on a 2014 jeep wrangler with factory amp still no sound any suggestions?
good looking out on that USB. I've always just dropped it on the side of the console that has the little slit that you can put a phone.
I wish I watched this beore i tried to install a new radio. Nice work!!
I probably wont get a response but I am having trouble installing at SVH 21sbt Pioneer into my 2008 Jeep wrangler I got a new wiring harness, antenna adapter cord and my amp cord all hooked up clean and perfect and the stereo turns on but no sound out of the speakers or sub-woofer I need HELP.
Hey guys. What is the purpose of re-pinning the harness? I put a dual in my 08 jk with the infinity system. I did notice that my fade won’t work to rear and my speakers now have a hum that goes away when I turn the volume to zero
nice video guys ! straight to the point. I just installed a 10.1 tablet in to my 2016 jeep wrangler with the upgraded alpine factory system. the tablet came with a plug and play harness which requires no splicing or anything. but after installing the system the stereo is only half as loud it seems. I've heard throigh others that have installed this same unit that there is some mystery couple wires that have to be spliced to get all the sound back... Any advice ?
Heath Ladner never ran into that one. Sorry
I leave the kenwood wire on the swc. That way if the customer wants to change out to a kenwood in the future the wire is there. With these dash kits I connect a few zip ties to the outside of the dash kit to hold the sides tight to the radio. Seems to work really well
Tech Metal yeah I have stock pile of extra plugs for just such an emergency. I will have to try the zip tie trick. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your informative video, I have a 2014 JK, and I wish to upgrade my stock radio to an 7 inch android unit "Pumpkin Audio", my question to you is, will I need additional wiring for the steering controls? Or will functioning only be done by direct hand to unit. Also the Metra brackets, are they the goto choice, or are there any other's you recommend, being that you have to modify it prior to installing the unit. thank you, I look forward to your reply. I plan to have my install done soon, but will wait until I have heard back with your recommendations.
We like the Metra kit the best out of all the other kits. You will need a smart harness to power up the radio if it does not come car specific. Retaining the steering controls will not be easy. Also make sure that the new radio is not an oversized double din. Check the height to make sure it is not bigger then your dash opening.
hi Guys,
What about Uconnect factory can. have you connected it back?
Nice video I want to install the same system with the micro chip except it's on a2010 Jeep Liberty
Do I need that blue box for steering wheel controls?
What is the bypas in min 16
Where is the link for your video on how to use the factory amp?
oops. sorry.. but like I was going to say. once again nice work. But I have a question. if I want to put in a double din in my truck but my truck has factory nav and steering controls. what can I do to keep all that?
Also, wish you guys would make an under seat 12 ' sub box!!!
Hey guys. Late to the party. Have a jeep wrangler 2005 with stock 7speaker+sub and I assume amplifier although have never seen it. Looking to replace stock stereo but I have been told will most likely require canbus.
I don't have steering wheel controls.
Looking to replace with a joying stereo. Do you know if the PAC you have shown here would work?
Cheers
Which pioneer model is that?
I we like to see how do you program de pac to used the stirring wheel controls
Thanks.
The box that you removed the USB cable from - do you put it back in place after remove the cable?
I have the same question... What is that box.. Uconnect?
So the REAR speakers outputs from the h/u don't get connected at all? Or do both the F&R LEFT outputs get connected to the car's REAR LEFT input, and both F&R RIGHT outputs get connected to the car's REAR RIGHT input?
Looks like only the radio front outputs get connected to the car harness’s rear inputs. In fact, the radio rear output wires are actually taken out of the harness for a cleaner install.
Great video Guys. Clean work as usual. It's always nice to see someone who takes pride in their work.
Tim datoolman thank you.
Hello i have a 2008 wrangler just bought. All speakers Broken even the subwoofer ( i ve desconected)
I bought the kicker speakers to install. I place the kickers on the bar an i have no Bass at all.
I ve installed other 2 in the front an work perfect.
All of them came with the mopar conectors so no wire or polariry problem should be. I also tryied with a to wires and see if was polarity but it sound the same without bass in the bar. I ve tríed with the old One broken an also no Bass....
I am living in aruba and do not know who can help me.
Do you have any idea ?
How did you secure the top of the dash if you removed the metal subframe? If you trimmed it, can you show how you cut it? Thanks and Great Videos!
yo good build log and all . like the steering wheel protection and the gear shift protection , but how much are you rubbin on the steering wheel or shifting the gears while installing ? but how often you get in and out of the vehicles ..yet no seat protection come on now .they cheap dei rep will give yall some for FREE.
seattle206253 funny you should ask that. I have been looking for some great seat protection. We have the DEI once and they suck, always slide all over the place. We just got in some awesome neoprene covers that stick to the seats and work great. We will show the in a future video.
we are having an issue with the Multi Kit and the way it sits, trying to figure out HOW you modified it but the video is sped up. Is there a way to describe just WHAT you cut off from the side mounts??? We have been trying to figure this out for hours and you are the only one that has addressed it! we have watched your video 10 times and it's just too fast in that part..... thanks for your help!! :-)
Where is the video mentioned at 2:27? Need it!
How did you re install the bracket behind the radio that the top dash screw goes into
I have a kenwood 7704 and is too thick to let the bracket be re installed now my dash isn’t tight
425rjb did you ever figure out a solution for this, I’ve got same issue
So for the USB you plugged the micro USB in and what did you plug into the other side? Currently I would like to use my port in the middle console but when they (Best Buy Geek Squad) wired in my DDX9703S they pulled the CarPlay USB out through my the glove box and now my cord is hanging out of that and SO UGLY!
Felicia Bergeron the small end went it to the factory plug behind the AC. The other end would plug into your Kenwood cable that is now in the glove box.
So were does the other end of the uconnect wire run to that was left? Didn't see you take the wire out or did you plug the uconnect back in?
You can just leave it tucked up in the back if you have a headunit thst doesn't have u connect. You could cut the wire out but doesn't hurt to leave it there, and means you can plug it back in if you ever go back to the jeep headunit
I'm also an installer and enjoy the video
How do you fully secure the dash faceplate when you remove the metal crossbar on top that holds the 7mm screw? My faceplate on the right side will not snap in all the say and has a small gap. I can snap it in, but then it pops back out. I cannot figure out how to get it secured all the way. Are there different clips to use? Love the videos. I have a 2017 Wrangler JKU.
NoCoRideshare did you ever get this figured out? I have same issue, whole right side of my dash is popped out and can’t get it to stay snapped in. Was thinking of taking the metal bracket and see if I can get it shaved down in order to fit around new stereo and be able to put the screw on.
Cut the bracket in half use the top half I did this on my Jeep
im installing a rear view cam and the same smart harness do i still need to wire into the taillight wire for the reverse signal even with the harness? Or just connect intp smart harness
+Victor Torres just contect to the smart harness
Thanks so the smart harness gives the head unit the signal to go into reverse?
I have a power acoustik radio,the instructions doesn't tell me which number to turn the pac dial to?
2016 ram
Accessory wire/ignition on for power does not work on the LC-CHRC-01 AXXESS interface .
Can you use the Maestro rr on a 2013 Jeep wrangler with the Kenwood DD9703s? Also what Parts would I need to install it besides the head unit? Can I retain the Sirius antenna or the Gps antenna? Thanks! Awesome videos BTW!
Teraman yes the RR will work with your car. You will need that plus the CH1. You can also keep the factory SiriusXM using their Sat 1 cable. Plus a dash kit and antenna adapter
you said that the kit comes with two harnesses, new and old so from what year to what are they for?
I also wonder that.
so is the pac smart harness the only harness needed for this install?
warren loomis that and the USB-GM1 if it has a factory USB in the arm rest
Hey guys I have a 2011 jeep compass Latitude with the boston acoustic sound system. The original radio head died and after doing some research I've found an aftermarket radio that both my wife and I love. I bought a Stinger SSCH11 interface and wired everything up from the radio to the interface with the exception of the mute wire and the power antenna. The factory wire harness has all 4 speaker connection wires. I plugged in the radio, it's getting power and connecting with my phone but I'm not getting any sound out of the speakers. I double checked all my wires were soldered to the correct wires, I checked all my fuses and relays. I know the head is getting power because it connects through bluetooth to my phone and I cant think of anything else to check. The stereo head I'm using is a kenwood 504BT for reference.
Where can I find the video on keeping the factory amplifier?
czcams.com/video/crFIr1b42t0/video.html
has to dig through all their videos but I found it
@@DirtyMike_n_theBoyz this isn't the video. This is for Bluetooth issues.
@@robbmillett9600 crap, i replied to the wrong bro
Where is video for speaker wiring? Please help
Question Difference between PAC RP4-CH11 & Idatalink Maestro RR? why use one over the other. Thanks for the help
They both work the same way. The RR will give you gauges and some car information on the radio.
Thanks for this informative video. Will be a big help when I upgrade my radio on my 2018 JK Wrangler with Alpine audio. I do have 1 question though. With the PAC interface module, there is now a reverse trigger that get's hooked up to the radio. Can this same trigger be used to power up an aftermarket camera (+12V source), or does the camera need to be tied directly into the reverse light wires?
Camera should be powered off of the red accessory power. The radio have a view anytime feature, if connected to the reverse trigger this will not work.
@@FiveStarCarStereoInc I see. That makes sense, but in my case I'm installing one of the cameras that have built in LED lighting that is triggered by the same +12V source, so I'm stuck with reverse trigger only so it's not lighting up white at all times. In this case, is the reverse trigger off the PAC harness sufficient to power the camera circuit or would i be better off tagging the reverse light output from behind the taillight assembly?
Hey, thanks again for this video. I successfully completed the install on my 2018 Jeep JK. I ended up wiring two cameras, the back-up camera with the lights is powered by the reverse output from the PAC, and I added a front license plate camera using accessory power. Works great when parallel parking as the car will switch between front and rear cameras automatically when going in and out of reverse.
I have the factory alpine audio, and I do notice the android auto prompts are excessively loud. Need to figure out why, but I suspect that it's because the factory amp is seeing a speaker level signal instead of a line level. Might consider wiring it up by splicing RCAs into the PAC, but overall it sounds fantastic.
Excellent videos guys. Keep it up!
so how would u go about putting an aftermarket radio in a 12 ford fusion?
What about with a boss radio?
I bought the usb retention cable so I'm going to use the factory usb for carplay, you said Aux in the glovebox, What is that for?
+foster mcmillan we just add an Aux with all our installs just to be safe. That way we don't have to add one later if the customer wants one.
Thanks to Your guys videos, I installed a Pioneer Sph Da120 with steering wheel control, Micro bypass and camera in my daughters 2016 Wrangler Unlimited. Wow the technology has come a long way from the late 80's when I was in the car audio business.I remember when the Clifford Intelliguard 400 was one of the coolest alarms :-)
wanted to see how you hook the wiring up ..went to fast
Hey guy's how are you. My name is David and I would like to know if you can help me with a problem I'm having with my 2012 Odyssey Touring. I would like to know the wiring for the plug that goes to the Overhead Screen so I can add a extra Screen to my Van. Is there any way you guys can help me.
what did you guys do to secure the customer's phone mount up top since the screw point is removed when you take out the metal bracket?
David Talman we screwed the 2 parts together before we put it back together.
Five Star Car Stereo great video! Thanks for the info. I too am curious about the phone mount, did you use a nut to secure them? I'm installing my stereo on Wednesday and I love my phone mount. I'd love to keep using it. Also can I use the factory microphone for the Bluetooth calling/Apple CarPlay or do I have to use the provided mic? Any answer would be helpful. Your number is on the video; is it ok if I call to ask you a few quick questions? Thanks!
Why did you remove the bracket instead of removing the tabs and putting it back in? Based on my experience with my JK (second owner) when you do that (like the 1st owner did to mine), the dash bezel tends to work itself loose. I have had a heck of a time finding a replacement, and even attempted to fabricate one from aluminum stock (sorta works). Also what do you do with the brackets you don't put in? Could I get one for shipping cost? :)
Steven Davidson did you ever figure out a solution for this? I have same issue
What type of tape are you using looks like electrical but kind looks like cloth too what is it?
Tesa Tape. Thanks to this channel, I bought like 4 of them from ebay. I love using these more than the common electrical tape.
+J Silver alright thanks definitely gonna pick some up
River Ware yes it is Tess tape and the there is link in the description.
So is Florida too far to drive for a clean install, I'm from Delaware LOL..... You guys make it tempting
I'm seriously thinking about driving down from Michigan. I have a few questions on whether I should buy the equipment in advance or buy everything from them? These questions stem from who do I deal with if I have issues later.
how you think i feel,i'm in the UK..lol
jmaslin that would be one heck of a drive.
Mountain Dewd I've done that Michigan drive a few times, not fun at all. You can give Paul a call for pricing. 727-216-6170
Nadeem Malik that would be a long swim.
You will see what im talking about in a month or so about Garrett! I understand that your a fan! Soon you will understand that your a consumer in a business!
Where's the link for vehicles with factory amplifier, dont see it?
Jmain Spl yeah I am working on one of those right now and I cannot find it
Where is the video on how to wire the front and rear out puts and inpits
Hello my 2010 Jeep Wrangler has a stock amp and how do I connect it
I don't know how to connect the infinity factory amp and the other 4 wires for the Twitter's ect
Brendan Windauer im having the same problem, did you find out how to do it?
Great install, as always. I always like to clean up extra wires but in this case what if the customer decides to swap out the deck for JVC/Kenwood?
Buy new harness and start over.
Neero I am a collector of parts, the Pioneer boxes in the background are full of spare parts. If the customer changes their mind no problems, we have spares.
👍🏼👌🏽
rick gomez 😀🤘🏻
Is this a reupload?
Daniel Geronzin I was thinking the same thing it starts with a white Jeep but the rest of the video is of the Green Jeep install haha.
Daniel Geronzin so yes and no. It is part of a longer video we did with a backup camera install. We wanted to make a video just showing the radio install because we have a lot of questions about just that. So we had extra scenes and more talking. Also yes different color Jeep.
good job man..you make it seem so easy..you know i didnt do the same thing you did..i wirer all the speakers..i didnt do it like you did..maybe thats why i got the code on my dash board..
Hugo Enriquez thank you. Yeah the joy of video, makes everything look easy.
Hey guys don’t you have to buy pass factory amp @5star
i liked the video but can't say too much about the music since it was supposed to be an instructional video.
once again..
Good video but lose the annoying “music”. Music is the most common mistake youtubers make
oops. sorry.. but like I was going to say. once again nice work. But I have a question. if I want to put in a double din in my truck but my truck has factory nav and steering controls. what can I do to keep all that?
mario espinoza well what truck do you have?
I got a 05 Cadillac escalade
mario espinoza I'm guessing you want to replace the old Factory navigation with something newer. If so it is doable with some parts from PAC. You will need the rp5-gm11 smart harness. The bkgmk421 dash kit and baa4 antenna adapter.
Ok cool.. and this will retain the factory steering controls and navigation.
mario espinoza yes for steering controls. I don't know what you mean by navigation. You can't plug the factory navigation into a aftermarket radio. The navigation from the factory is built into the radio, it is one piece.
