Pac aoem frd24
What did you all pay for it? And where or what website do you all recommend I buy it from? My wife asked what she could get me for Xmas that is small. (Funds are a little tight) Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Mudweiser

If thats the one that has to left and right front and rear outputs, then I got mine at newegg for $39.75 with free shipping. Best deal I could find. Here is the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA0ZA09M7198

Using a Hi/Lo converter will cause you to sacrifice a little bit of audio quality. At the time I ordered it I was on the fence about making an adapter myself. I ordered the PAC as a backup plan. By the time the PAC unit arrived I had finished making my own. To my surprise it actually worked. It worked well, so I saved the PAC in case I needed it.
I've had it for about a year now with no issues. I can send you pics and instructions if you want. It took me an entire afternoon to make, and cost of supplies were about the same as the PAC. I had to buy a Soldering Iron, two DPDT relays, a transistor, and a diode from Radio Shack, but already had plenty of spare wire.
I've been using it with my Pioneer P4300 head unit and a RF 400 watt amp this whole time. I made a thread about it, but of course it was about a year ago. I can't take full credit. I met a guy named "I'm an Idiot" on an installer forum. He sent me emails with diagrams and tips. I spent a long time searching for a way to make everything (aftermarket HU, Amp, etc.) work without losing Sync, and this worked well for me.
After all is said and done, the PAC would have been simpler I suppose. If you have little experience with wiring stereos, I wouldn't recommend making your own, but I'd be glad to sell the PAC or give you tips on making your own, either way man. I guess I should mention the adapter I made will only be of use if you are replacing the OEM Stereo. You will need the pre-out audio wires from you Aftermarket Stereo, which the OEM model will not have.
Here is a bad pic of the one I made before I put the cover on it.
