Metra kit now on metra's site

Where can I buy that cable??

 

i used the PAC SWI-jack i think it was with the jack taht plugs into the back of deck works fine cant comment on bluetooth though.

 

You can also use the PAC SWI-X thats probably the best and easiest to find. You can find the info at www.pac-audio.com.

If any of you are needing them, let me know. I'll sell them for $43 + shipping.

 

okay so i got my dash kit in right? has anyone tried installing their aftermarket HU with the Rockford Fosgate system in? No sound comes out. It powers up perfect but no sound. So i'm thinking i may have to bypass the factory amp but not 100% positive. Not really wanting to dick around with it if i don't have to! sometimes hooking up the power antenna from the metra harness to the amp turn on works but im thinking its a little more difficult than that.......?????

 

anybody have pics of aftermarket stereo

 

Havn't came across this issue yet. Metra only offers one wire harness for all 3 stereo options on the Lancers. So, it should work. If an extra amp by-pass was needed, surely Metra would have offered it.

 

nah...like i said in that other thread, i called up metra and talked to support and they said that the RF factory amp requires a digital amp turn on which is untraditional than your 12v remote wire turn on. The power antenna cable does not work. They said they will be making an amp integration harness but not to expect it anytime soon.

So FYI to anyone planning on buying the metra dash kit & harness with the sun and sound package....BEWARE!!! it will work but you need to bypass the amp..therefore cut the wires from the amp, run each and every speaker wire directly to your aftermarker HU. It is a pain and you'll need bass-blockers for your tweeters. Also you will lose the factory the sub =(

 

so de and es guys r good??

 

GTS guys are fine too as long as they don't have the Rockford sound system. Which is a waste of money. That sound system is pure crap and not worth what they charge for it. But anyways, for those that are going to run independant amps (which I recommend) its no problem at all.

 

jeez...well i thought it was decent while it all was stock...but now that i have my aftermarket HU and my 2 MTX's i realize how much better it sounds now without the factory amp and all.

After I bypassed the amp the tweeters sounded like shit because i had to tie in the components together without a crossover. Since they don't have a crossover specifically for that set up i'd rather save my money and just replace all the speakers. But in the meantime i just bought a couple bass blockers to connect to the tweeters to hold me off till i find a decent set of speakers

 

Yup, thats why I got the sun package but not the sound package. I told them to keep thier rockford crap and over-priced stereo navigation.
