Good to hear man. Thanks for the help/input

I had the pac module mentioned above tied to my first pioneer unit, then the clarion I had the last couple years, it died about eventually. And it worked terribly with my clarion headunit. It only wired sporadically with the steering wheel controls and then about a year ago it jsut quite all together. I had no onstar audio(not that I use it), no door chimes, or steering wheel controls whatsoever. I believe I went with the crux unit for our gen trucks when I put my last pioneer apple car play unit installed as the shop said I had ordered the wrong interface and that’s what he had stocked for my truck.

well hell. I ordered the pac module from crutchfield after talking with a tech person and that is what they told me to get.

Hopefully you don’t have any issues with it! Maybe mine was just a bad apple in a batch. Who knows. Lol

Been happy with mine so far!

Everything is all wired up and working as it should. I went with a cheap dual touchscreen and most dual radios do not support steering wheel controls. No biggie. Will get picks once I pull back apart and add my backup camera

Ditto. My RP5-GM11 works great with my Kenwood head.

Took the truck for a drive and now have a whine upon acceleration and driving. Now to figure that out. Anyone have that kinda issue?

My 06 SD whines around 35-40mph while accelerating, but goes away letting off the gas pedal. It sorta sounds like someone blowing over a glass bottle

Sorry I should clarify that it’s some sort of engine whine through the speakers after the install of my new headunit

Make sure you have a good ground on the HU. It sounds like alternator whine that increases with RPM.

 

[NeverSatisfied]

That’s what I was thinking

Almost always a ground issue.

 

[Fless]

Make sure there is a good ground strap from the firewall to the underside of the hood, too.

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Grounded the headunit out to a brace behind the dash. Seems to have solved the problem

 

[adventurenali92]

Good looking headunit! Did you get the module set up to retain steering wheel controls?

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Yes I did but unfortunately my cheapo Dual headunit does not support swc. Oh well I hardly used them anyways plus it’ll just give me a reason to upgrade someday lol
