Hello,

I am newbie to this site. I have a couple of questions about the pac setup. 1st do you loos the factory mic? 2nd are they still having problems with the module all of sudden not working

Thanks

Factory mic is lost with most aftermarket radios. Usually aftermarket sounds 2x better anyway. I routed mine up thru the liner and have it in the factory location..it's easy to fish the wire thru without removing anything but the pillar covers.
Far as module going out, not sure I read much on that, some have had wires that were not completely connected

x2 on what Mudder said. It only took a few minutes to remove the factory mic in the overhead console and replace it with the new on, fish the wired in the headliner and then run it through the A pillars. You'll already have the dash apart at that point and quite possibly the glove box. So, it's a 5 minute detour.

The only problem that I had with the PAC module was self induced. I didn't tape up the mini jack connector (solder the parallel wire, instead). A few days after installing the steering wheel controls stopped working.

It turned out that it had flopped loose and grounded itself on the frame of the dash. Easy fix.

I just added my mic at the step of mirror. Center location about where the OEM one is I believe. Seems like a good hidden place nobody has noticed it.

Still working outs some bugs with the pac dash kit. The rear window defroster will not come on. Has anyone had that problem and if so what fixed it?

Bingo, send me a pm we need to talk. That happened to me and this is what I did.
Bought another PAC kit. Still no help, PAC support said it's my HVAC system not the kit. So I bought another dash oem kit and plugged it in as is, rear defroster works. Swapped all the OEM parts into the PAC kit..no work, put my original oem climate control into the eBay oem dash kit and defroster works with that. So I wasted almost 500 extra bucks on this and PAC says it's my truck. Said there are no other reported cases. Perhaps with your help, we can get them to fix this

I do have issues with my module dropping steering wheel controls. It works fine for about 4 days of driving the truck. Then gets very slow to respond and stops working all together. I have to pull the fuse or unplug the pac unit.

I have not had a chance to try the rear window defrost yet, I will keep an eye on it.

Just got my hands on my PAC RPK4 kit. Got the wiring harness spliced together.
Trying to decide how to do the backup camera. I'd love to replace my 300A tailgate with an OEM lookalike, but cheapest out there is $115. Which compared to $20 license plate cameras is hard to justify.

Wondering if I take a camera like this.

Take apart my current tailgate handle, and drill a hole where the OEM camera would normally sit. Would this cause the viewing angle to be too high?
I think it will physically fit, but if I am no where close to seeing the bumper, it might not help as much as I would like.

Might be ok. It says that it has a 170 degree angle..
