First of all, thanks to all that respond. I've been following this thread since the beginning, interested in putting my Pioneer 8100NEX into my '15 2LT. The head unit comes from a previous car and I like all the functionality/options that come with it.
I guess the first ? I'll ask.... Does one have to purchase and use the PAC-UP Interface Updating Device or have recent buyers noticed their firmware is up to date? I seen on PAC's website they did an update dated 10/12 that states "Fixes issues seen with SWC re-mapping". I guess I'm confused as to the relationship between the updating device and this update they advertise. Is the former needed to program the SWC's?
I had problems with a metra kit in my previous car and it really ruined the whole experience regarding keeping the functionality stock but with an aftermarket head unit.
Finally, I guess if you guys could just summarize where you're at with it, those that have done it. I have an extremely competent installer and know that it'll be done as well as it can be, only am wondering just kinda where everyone is at with theirs... Thanks again....
