This kit looks better however it still stands out with the grey color. You achieved the look I am looking for by painting it black. It blends in with the radio and dash so much better. Can you share some information about who did it and what the cost was? I live in Jacksonville and I will come down there to have them do it.

Thank you

I didn't paint it... I think it just looks painted because it was night when I finished and took that pic... the color of this kit matches the factory HU/ Bezel color exactly... I see no reason why it would be difficult to paint, if that's what you were wanting to do.

It doesn't work with the factory XM... You can get an XM module for the Kenwood head unit and connect the factory antennae to it, but the factory XM module does not work with aftermarket solutions.

Answered above and will say it again, head over to the Audio forums for any technical help you need.

You are certainly welcome to pay the $400+ MSRP, but market for Camaro dash kits are $299 and always have been. We're luckier than most, many vehicles are over $1,000 and $299 is a godsend.

There is an extensive thread reviewing all related questions in the audio forum here

Phastek is a phenomenal vendor, but they are in the business of sales, not providing hours of tech support over the phone for an install. Highly recommend reserving technical help questions to the audio forum gurus at the link provided (where we've been discussing this product since it's release on day 1) and the PAC technical line.



This kit was developed for someone experienced in car audio. From wire management to disconnecting crucial OEM parts. While the technical instructions are intimidating even to those of us with those skills, I am sure patience and trial and error will get others through the process fine. The PAC R&D techs have requested that if you have any problems with the unit to please reach out to them as the product passed extensive internal testing before coming to market. As you mentioned, double check wiring and give them a call if you still have any issues as the modules should be working.


This unit has no sound to speak of, it's just a kit. Perhaps that was the reference. The mylink/stock radio system has a myriad of audio "issues", whats the reference I heard the other day.... comparing an aftermarket stereo system to OEM would be like comparing a Bentley to a Prius. The primary problem with the stock OEM is lack of power, next is the fact there is a factory tune hard coded in the system which is horrible.

Thank you for answering my question. Sorry it took me so to acknowledge your answer. Have a great weekend!

Ordered from Phastek :-)

When we place an order for this kit, from Phastek or anywhere else, how do we know if we are getting the original or the version with the updated hazard switch?

Its been awhile since I have looked in here, glad I did.. So happy they finally got a factory style one on the market. Stereo build back in work

We have the new versions of the kits on our shelves. We made sure to double check and make sure that we had everything that should be with the kits.

I cant speak for other places though.

Wonder why they didn't copy the same button types in the middle. I have read that the emergency light/door lock buttons are terrible. They seem to be extremely stiff and sometimes stick.

Apparently they made a design change to fix this. Just not sure how to identify which ones are the new design prior to installation.

How in the hell am I just finding out about this, this is amazing! I've been wanting something like this ever since I swapped out the factory radio. Is there an option to buy it with the knobs? I don't have my stock faceplate anymore.

Unfortunately there is no option to buy with the knobs. Stock ones are to be used.

Thank you,

Unless someone can supply a part number for the knobs (or has a faceplate kicking around that they don't want much for), unfortunately i'm out then

There's a member here that posted recently that he shattered his MyLink screen. He may sell his faceplate. Or check eBay.
