New Aftermarket head unit kit option
Found this head unit replacement kit today and like how it retains some of the stock look. I dislike the Scosche and Metra kit. I am not a mylink fan either.
http://shopddmods-com.3dcartstores.c...aro_p_433.html Anyone seen this one before? Any experience with it?

Looks like a good product, a different approach than what's currently on the market. First I've heard of this.

Spoke with the tech/owner for an hour, it's legit.
The product is from PAC and has been in R&D for a few years and is nearly completely plug-n-play. The only 'hard' thing to do is that your OEM knobs need to be pop'd off and used on this kit. Creeper, we've never heard of it because until about 18hrs ago, it wasn't on the market : ) ddmods has 4 in stock and another 75 will arrive Friday iirc. PAC will have an additional 400 produced by Oct 1 and another 1,000 by Nov 1. Basically, supply is expected to be limited for awhile. |

I have no intention of doing a HU replacement anytime soon, but I might pick one up just to try it out, sometime down the road. Thanks for verifying the unit.

But will it work with a 2014 My Link with built in navigation? The Scosche kit can't, and I'm pretty sure that the Metra kit can't either.

The PAC kit is for aftermarket radios to be installed while retaining the factory look. I'm thinking they were able to bypass GM product patents (or obtain a limited one) by sourcing vehicle owners OEM knobs. Alpine, Kenwood, JVC, Sony, etc, single or double DIN and works with all standard factory Camaro options, regular and premium OEM radio wiring, stereo controls and AC. ddmods is even giving the PAC kit away for free with Kenwood's top line as a package deal. |

In my 2012 1LT, I had the standard radio (as all Camaros did from 2010-2012). I had a Scosche kit in that car with an Alpine head unit, and everything worked great. |
