" ... The chime isn't as good as it is coming through the speakers, but giving that up to retain steering wheel controls, aux and rear seat controls is worth it to me. ... "
" ... I'm reusing my steering wheel controls, and rear seat entertainment controls work too. ... "
" ... Made the installation of a Kenwood DDX-574bh a breeze on a 2004 Suburban with Onstar, Bose, and steering wheel control. ... "
" ... Chimes are not bad at all, just a different sound to original and you can control the volume. ... "
" ... I assumed that it would come with the harness for the main unit to head unit for steering wheel control harness as well as the GM to standard headphone adapter and instructions. ... "
" ... Steering wheel controls, RSE etc. ... "
" ... A part from that big issue, the installation is easy and the steering control are easy to program. ... "
" ... The chime works, and my steering wheel controls work as designed. ... "

" ... it's marginally less but uses the chime through the speakers. ... "
" ... It sounded extremely cheap and very tacky. ... "
" ... plus it keeps making hissing sound when i mute it ... and sometimes it makes some kind of noise in the speakers ... "
" ... Installed several times and speakers intermittently would not work or never work at all. ... "
" ... With everything connected properly, half the speakers would either not work or would be super quiet. ... The speaker fading ability is also non-existent - you lose that from factory stock. ... However, the MOST ANNOYING PART of this piece of crap PAC audio unit is that it has issues triggering the Lux Bose amp on start up. ... SOMETIMES but not every time, there would be no sound when I start the truck. ... I had contacted PAC audio and you guessed it, they never emailed me back. ... With this unit, the speakers actually function as they should, the speaker fade works, dimming is possible (another thing you lose with the PAC unit is your stock dash dimming - with PAC you literally go backwards from STOCK instead of having something better - its ridiculous! ... Your speakers will actually emit sound and you won't have to deal with amplifier problems. ... DO NOT BUY THE PAC IF YOU HAVE A LUX BOSE AMP, BUY THE METRA AXXESS!!! ... "
" ... That way if i'm outside the car listening no one is able to run off with my truck. ... "
" ... Made a clicking noise (not the chime) and the LED wouldn't stop blinking. ... "
" ... Now I have an annoying ground noise if I hit a bump, a constant hiss, 3 of my door speakers cut off if a hit a bump, the connections won't lock down, the wires are way too long, the box is bulky, the steering controls won't work which was the main reason I went with this one and it's cheaply made huge POS. ...
