The pac module I bought uses a external chime module to replicate all the tones that used to come through the stock left front speaker. Just curious what you did and or not do with the chime module.

The chime module sounds crappy

1 option ditch it completely enjoy pure silence

2 option wire it into the the left front speaker so it comes through the stock speakers.

3 option hide the module behind the dash and just get used to it over time.

 

+2 on this info. I want to put an aftermarket navi in mine. I really dont care about on star nor that stupid a$$ chime.

 

Im not sure, But I was told when I did mine..It works with the Check engine light also?? I bought mine from walmart and it was only 30 bucks for the Box...

 

Rocking a Kenwood screen with navigation in mine

 

I have an alpine cda-117 in mine I love it.

 

I have a panasonic touch screen fOr mine just havent installed cause they said I would loose chime, on star and most importantly the Bose speakers wouldn't work up front

 

I have a pioneer p4100dvd and used the module.... I did not connect any speakers to the module and the no door open chime, seat belt chime, etc is GREAT. Since I have an amp for my door speakers that is connected directly to the radio through RCA's it obviously has no communication with the module..... only downside is you would not be able to communicate using onstar if you wanted. This didn't bother me though.

Note that if you wanted to keep everything working stock, including speakers / onstar / chimes all you have to do is wire the radio outputs to the module speaker inputs and everything functions the same as factory, only you have a non stock radio.

 

I have the pac os4 that will keep the onstar and steering wheel controls working and keep the OEM bluetooth working.

The chime module it uses simply plugs in so you can either leave it off and it all works as normal or plug it in and hear the chime. I'm really thinking bout just ditching it. The silence would be nice

I'm doing a full system utilizing custom kick panels with components in the front so I'm not even bothering the factory bose if onstar call is placed or bluetooth is being used it automatically mutes my pioneer nav unit and then plays the bluetooth and onstar through the front factory door speakers that I'm abandoning in place.

 

i opted not to use the module. silence is the greatest thing EVER!!!

 

just installed an old pioneer deh780mp, sounds way better, and enjoy the silence of no signal light... a flash in the dash is good enough for me. having no warning chimes is nice too.
