i am not super sure about this ..

but i think the BA systems have the labels on the speaker covers on the Doors ?

I'll check in a bit, i'm at work right now and my car is parked out in our structure and its a 10 min walk :/

I'm about to open my dash up now and test this out. Will let you know what happens.

Vintendo · 03-20-2017, 05:26 PM

You sir are a savior haha

I've been sitting here contemplating doing the same thing haha

Please let us know what you find in there.

Are you having the same issue with low volume and having to crank the head unit to max?

That worked! Just move it from Amplified Factory Audio Connection to Standard Factory Audio Connection. Sounds great now! It's definitely much louder.

Now my question is, when we decide to put in an afternmarket amp, do we switch back to Amplified Factory Audio or keep it at Standard Factory Audio?

Bennieficial · 03-20-2017, 05:43 PM

And another thing that I noticed this fixed... my "'Mute" button function on my steering wheel controls wasn't working with the PAC kit before. Now it does.

Vintendo · 03-20-2017, 05:43 PM

Really?!? Oh man guess I'm gonna do it now too haha

I don't get it I mean that's kinda misleading no?

Wish there would have been a better explanation on this

Yeah very misleading. But with my radio on and I swap back and forth between the two inputs you can clearly hear the sound difference

Vintendo · 03-20-2017, 05:53 PM

Any distortion or negative issues introduced ?

Nope. I'm sure you'll prob have some distortion at max volume, but it's already loud and clear enough that I won't go that far lol. There's a little static sound going on right now, but I'm guessing that's cuz I have my radio out while I cut the trim down some. I'm sure once I everything back in it'll be fine

Vintendo · 03-20-2017, 07:13 PM

This is an amazing find!! Haha I'm going to do mine now lol

I wish there was more info on this. We should write a sticky for others that might want to go the PAC dash kit route.

In all honesty I read the included install manual a million times and saw nothing about this

And I don't remember if I asked you or not, do you have the BA system or not?
