Sounds like you went through the same thing I did, Lol. My factory head unit? I kept it in a closet for about two weeks then threw it in a dumpster.

The only inconvenience I have after adding everything aftermarket is that I have to hold the 'media' button on my steering wheeling for two seconds before streaming bluetooth media (only after every time I start my truck b/c Sync goes into idle when truck is shut off). Phone calls and voice commands work like they always have. Completely worth it.

BTW the two adapters you will need are PAC MSFRD-1 and PAC MSFRD-24 (I think thats the one) for Sync and SWC. If you want to connect an amplifier PAC sells a high low converter. I made my own which will sound muuch better. I posted a thread about how to make it a while ago, if you want I can forward it to you. Buy these adapters from Amazon, it's waay cheaper than buying from PAC.

I do recommend calling PAC tech support for any questions though. Their customer service is great. Even though I didn't buy directly from them, they talked me through some of the installation. Hope this helps man.

Thanks dude! Ya i will be looking to do this when i have the money to get the dash kit and modules, for now nice it would be to retain the Factory Deck for appearances, it just NOT worth it...
I will be running Two Amps actually, one 4 channel, and one Mono. But my Deck has everything i need to run them so i should not have any issues along those lines.

When you say you need to hold the media button down, you actually mean Sync goes into standby? but only upon startup?
And with your install, you have to be on an "AUX" input on your deck correct?
thanks for the info!

With the the Pac module, yep, Aux would clearly be the best source to assign to it. To clarify my post; the multimedia portion of Sync goes to standby (if using the Pac adapter) once you shut the truck off. Even after starting the truck, you must hold down the 'media' button on the steering wheel for 2 seconds in order to wake it up and begin streaming Pandora, Youtube, Nav, etc. Although you will still get phone calls (through truck speakers) and such without doing this. The whole 'holding the button thing' only applies to streaming media via bluetooth.

I also am running the stock head unit with sync. 2010 screw. I dont have problems with clipping, everything works fine. I have 2 amps, 2 subs and 2 sets of components. Though i will eventually replace it with a pioneer 80prs.
