NipRing Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 So I just bought a new Pioneer AVH-4000NEX on eBay. But now I need all of the hook ups for it. So many variations I'm getting confused. I want to retain (even reassign) steering wheel controls, use the Bose amp, but no factory xm, no on star. I need a dash kit - GMK 422 Wiring adapter - ? Antenna adapter - Metra 40-GM 10 Something that takes care of the chimes, steering wheel controls - ?? Pac RP5, Pac C2R-GM24, Metra Gmos 04, Axxexx ASWC-1 ?? For ease of purchase, I'd prefer a kit with everything I need, but I haven't been able to nail down even that list. Suggestions?

SuperStock Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I would go on www.crutchfield.com and put in your vehicle type and it will tell you what you will need to get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NipRing Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 So, I think, the pioneer would connect directly to the pac rp5 and from there it connects to the stock radio wiring harness. I don't want any more gizmos back there than I have to have. If this one takes care of what I want (Bose compatible, chimes, and steering wheel controls) then I'll use it. It's been like 20 years since I bought an aftermarket radio. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that1dood Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 RP4 GM11 is what I used to install my avH-P2400 bt. It basically is a newer version of the os2c Bose (or whatever it's called) and the swix. Its for our computers with or without Bose and without on star. It retains chimes and has a rotary switch on the side of the little box for depending on which head unit you're using for the steering wheel controls. I didn't even have to set mine... All the presets matched up to the buttons already, but if you want to reassign them, that's an option as well. Best price I found was on Amazon. If you want more info or my thought on the while process let me know, I think I have some pictures of everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 deff go with the GMOS-4 for the wheel controls. imo its he best one but havnt heard much of the others, just know its better than the pac unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thickcajun Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Just did this a few months back works flawless... just do yourself a favor and trim down all the extra harness wires down to about three inches or so, it a pita trying to fit all the wires back there in the dash. Break out the dremil tool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that1dood Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) in days past, you used to have to use two components to get everything working together (chime module/bus adapter thingy as well as a steering wheel control adapter). these days they are all built into one. keep it simple and get yourself one of the newer modules that does everything. it ends up being a little bit cheaper anyways. I originally bought the pac os-2c and swix because that's what everybody used (back in like 2005) but returned it once I discovered the new RP line of products. saved myself a few bucks and got everything I needed in one module vice two... all the big companys these days have their own version so its all preference, just don't use the threads from 5+ years ago when picking out components. Embrace advances in technology!! edited to add: put those RCA outputs to use on the new head unit and get an adapter that has them wired in already.

NipRing Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I wound up buying the pac5, the mounting kit, antenna adapter, and an antenna booster (antenna delete on my truck now, reception could be a lot better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that1dood Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sounds like you got everything. Did you tuck your antenna along the top of the fender under the hood or delete it altogether? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxic donkey Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I put that 4000nex in my 05 earlier this year. Its great and I used the gmos 04 and i think the steering wheel control was aswic it all worked together flawlessly, chimes are a little loud though. By the way go on amazon and get the 3 wire micro bypass, it works for this model. The old school ground the parking wire doesnt work on these newer head units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NipRing Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) I tucked it along the fender but reception could be a lot better. And yes, I got the 3 wire bypass. I've gotten everything in the mail but the pac 5 which won't come until Tuesday or I'd hook it all up tomorrow.

that1dood Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Dude how much did you pay for that bypass thing? I am pretty sure you could have done the relay mod to bypass the parking brake. I don't think there is a difference between our head units as far as that is concerned and those only cost like 3 bucks at any AutoZone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NipRing Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Bypass was included in the price of the HU. Unopened on ebay, i paid 530 shipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NipRing Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Dash mounting kit doesn't bring the deck forward enough to get to the face plate release. Anyone else have this problem? Its a scosche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
