u did ur steering wheel controls too. damn man. that **** gotta be a bitch. u wired it from the controls on the wheel to the pac interface?

 

Nope.... All the wiring for the PAC module can be done behind the deck.

Each steering wheel button has an assigned resistance to it. They all connect to two wires... Both wires are behind the deck. What you do is send 12v to one of the wires and connect the other wire to the PAC interface..... When you press a button on the steering wheel it sends the 12v from the first wire through the resistor for that specific button (each one is different) and then the signal goes to the pac module.... The PAC module 'reads' the 12v through a certain resistance and then converts it to a signal that the Eclipse deck understands.

 

Which PAC module do you have? I went looking for one for mine and noticed that there a few different part numbers.

 

WHich model you get depends on your brand of deck.... They make universal RF interfaces, as well as specific interfaces for Eclipse, Alpine, Pioneer ect....

 

I have that head unit. Take a look



I also have this in the trunk

 

Why are you getting that error message?

Nice trunk

 

because i took out that wire that controls the DVD from being played while the car is in motion

 

Does the NAV still work fine without the VSS wire connected??

Mine is a Kenwood.

Where did you guys get the double din install kits? Crutchfield doesn't have them listed and the local car audio shop says there isn't one for the cobalt?

 

Any car audio shop that sells Metra brand products SHOULD be able to get it.........

 

try ebay i think i saw one on there for like 10 total.

 

Looks nice, good job

 

The type of kit you are looking for is Metra 95-3302. If you go to the metra site and search that model number you should find it. It's also available at circuit city and on e-bay. Here is the link on what your looking for.

It makes me laugh when car audio shops who are supposed to be experts tell you there is nothing available for the Cobalt. I went to one shop and mentioned metra and the guy said whats that? Man, these guys should not be in business. The place the put my kenwood unit in told me I had the choice between Metra, another brand or custom made kit. He was even honest enough to tell me that the cheapest way to go would be metra and it's just as good as the others. I think allot of stores will tell you that there is nothing available for the Cobalt so they can try and sell you an expressive custom made kit.

 

I am trying to install a Kenwood in dash monitor but getting no sound. I need to figure out how to send signal through the factory amp. Please help. If I plug a speaker directly to the headunit I get sound but I dont want to rewire the whole system. I dont have the money right now to rewire and buy all new speakers at the moment. Right now my headunit is an expensive paperweight.

 

alright, so here is my question, do you still have use of onstar? I need to keep mine....And am going double din..

 

My car did not have OnStar. It has the mic in the headliner, and the buttons in the mirror, but didn't have onstar.. The onstar interface kit was about $120 from PAC Audio.

 

i will have one of these in about 3 hours. i work at ccity and we got the Eclipse avn5500 for $700 through accomodations.

 

how did u hookup the reveiw camera o u know where the wire for revere switchis
