That really depends on how tall you are and how you position your seat. I have the Scosche 2.0 and it barely blocks the top of the top two gaiges.

Sorry to revive a thread, this was the most current I could find. I am looking at buying the Scosche 2.0 kit, I have the Boston Acoustics system. Does the Scosche kit hook up to the boston acoustics amp or does that depend on the radio?

What do I specifically need to connect an aftermarket double din and the scosche kit to my factory amp?

Any help is greatly appreciated! I have been trying to search for a solid answer but have not found one.

Low Saturn, do you have the boston acoustics system???

Hey guys does anyone have any info for my question above? I have tried to find concrete answers but haven't found any. I'm ready to buy the kit and radio.

Thank you for the response but I am asking about the Scosche kit 2.0

Gordy87 · 09-05-2019, 12:11 AM

I have the 2.0 kit ans BA system. All you will need is the kit, HU, and if you have Onstar or SWC, you will need the modules for those separately.

SnakebiteSS · 09-07-2019, 08:38 PM

Thank you so much

I'm using the Scosche 2.0 with a Pioneer and no SWC module was needed. The kit handles the SWC. Just have to select the type of radio in the options on the Scosche.

Yes this. But from what I read, and talking with Scosche rep, some work and some may still require the module.

Sorry no I don't . The only picture I have with the Metra kit is the Kenwood I had in it before I switched to the JVC last year.

I too am undecided between the PAC and Scosche 2.0. On the Scosche, if you didn't have your key handy and since the door locks are on the touch screen, are you unable to lock or unlock the car on the display? I presume the car has to be on for the touch screen to be functional. Other than appearance, does the PAC have features the Scosche 2.0 doesn't have?

You can unlock the doors from the door switch.

I own a my 2013 european Camaro, i have had Metra, then Scosche 1.0 and now PAC. The PAC kit is in my view the best, wich i have changed in my car. The unit is a Kenwood DNX8170DABs (DAB=Digital Audio Broadcast).

The Boston amplifier i have changed against a Kenwood KAC8406, i take the preouts from the Kenwood-unit to the Kenwood amplifier via chinchwires.

Thanks for posting this pic. I’m looking for a dash kit like yours in silver. How has this been for you? Any problems with it since your post?

My cousin Also advised that if you buy from Best Buy they offer an installation service at certain locations.
