Getting into Vehicle Options after Stereo Swap 2010 Camaro SS

I have a 2010 Camaro SS. I have ordered a PAC Kit to swap the stereo. On the Stock Stereo, you can get into Vehicle Options. One example of things you can set is whether you unlock one door or two when you unlock the car with the Key Fob. There are many other things you can change. Is there any way to change or view any of that after the Aftermarket Stereo is installed?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no as an aftermarket stereo does not connect to the BCM.

I'm surprised this issue doesn't come up more often with the number of people that switch to after market radios. Unless I'm missing something.

Some of the aftermarket dash kits needed to install aftermarket radios are able to retain the functionality to change vehicle settings. I have the Scosche 2.0 kit and am able still vehicle settings from the lower touch screens.

But then again, I haven't changed any of the settings since the day I bought the car almost seven years ago. So if the kit couldn't do it, it wasn't a deal breaker.

PAC has a module that allows you to change the settings but you basically set it how you want and you’re stuck with those settings unless you reprogram the unit again. Honestly I haven’t had the need to change my settings in the two years I’ve had mine. Give the PAC people a call and they’ll explain it better than I just did.

The Maestro unit just doesn’t look right to me, especially with the exposed USB and other connections on the front. IMO, the PAC looks better integrated than the MyLink.

Hey there I see you have the idatalink and I was wondering if you could post some pics of your set up? I'm currently looking for an aftermarket stereo so any guidance is much appreciated!

Cam1 Color Off

I am in the process of sending my IDatalink back because the color is off, brown tint, does not match console.
