How did you go about hooking up your Amp to the factory head unit? I want plug an play but don't know where to look... I used to look at PAC Audio but they don't have a kit yet

I used a hi-lo converter for mine and i don't mind the sound... i've dj'd for the last 10 years- needless to say i know about good audio. The current HU is certainly the achilles heal in my setup. Cannot wait to see what they create so I can add an alpine! will those ipad setups work on a 2013? seems sync is really involved with EVERYTHING

"The more expensive and more difficult option is the Rockford Fosgate 360.3."
It is worth it and the sound is phenomenal!
Don't bother with the OK sound of a harness or Cleanshweep garbage.
I can clearly hear the 4 individual speakers and the subs all perfectly defined.
Pink Floyd surrounds me and swirls around me.
I can clearly hear bass, synthesizers, organs, cymbals, etc.
Rockford Fosgate is the ****!!

Could you show a link to the kit? I've googled and searched their site to no avail

jlinville must be referring to the 2013 XL, STX, or base XLT stereo that has the same face and radio plugs as the 11-12 models. PAC does not make the plug n play kit yet for the the 13 MF radios yet.

So my small screen 13 xlt radio should work with the 11-12 PAC connection? The radio itself an dash are totally different from 11-12 so I didn't think it'd work

If you have the new style radio dash bezel, the 11-12 PAC adapter will not work. The base XLT's (with the 11-12 style dash) it will work. If you have the 4.3 inch screen and not the 2x8 inch (guessing) LED information center above the radio. The PAC adapter will not work.
