Default PAC ms-frd1 problem/who has gotten rid of sync?

Okay so if you have the front speakers amplified on your vehicle you cannot keep sync if you use the ms-frd1, the unit will power down you hu and will cut out the back speakers and while sync will work you can not hear it. This sucks as I found this out last night right as I was buttoning everything back up soooo...who has gotten rid of sync and is anyone using pioneer Bluetooth as I heard how the 80 prs sounded and to be honest with you it blows the stocl hu out of the water but I love bluetooth and I don't want to lose the great Bluetooth

There is a brown wire on the MS-FRD1 that needs to be cut. Call PAC and they will tell you which wire because there are 2. Then your HU will not power down.

Yeah but will it play through the front speakers if I have all my audio run through an amplifier connected to the radios rca jacks and I have run all new speaker wire to them? Basically will it work with the audio from just the rca?

That is probably why most just use the BT on their new HU and forget about SYNC

is there an issue with retaining SYNC by running the AOEM-FRD24 to run 2 amps....one for component set in front doors and one for subs
