Review on PAC RP4-CH11 Radiopro4 Stereo Replacement Interface for Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen Vehicles - Enhance SEO! by Jaime Bustamante

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ok but disappointing.

Installed on my 2012 Ram 2500 Diesel. All in all, the adapter works well and does what it is supposed to do. The steering wheel controls worked great and the ignition and parking brake cables worked (most of the time). The first issue I had was the reverse signal wire being triggered when the diesel exhaust was turned on, causing my head unit to show the rear view camera. Well, I use the exhaust brake all the time, so that's a problem. I contacted PAC tech support and they immediately provided an answer which was impressive except the answer was to run a wire to the reverse lights. Well, in my opinion this is not an acceptable solution, but I guess I have no choice at the moment. The second disappointment was that turning the starter loosened the spark plug wire. This doesn't seem to be as big of a deal as it has been with cars for years, but I had a different brand adapter in another car that like this one needed to replicate the ignition wire and power the ignition when the ignition was on was on. . . Well, for a diesel engine, wait 10-15 seconds before you start, that's enough time for the main unit to boot up and then turn off again. Neither of these offerings are huge, but for an adapter at this price point, it's just disappointing.

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Cable shorter than other picks
