CORRECTED–CLEARWATER, FL and SANTA ANA, CA–Pacific Accessory Corporation (PAC) announced what it called the first radio replacement interface for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. Its new RadioPro5 model RP5-GM51 lets you keep OnStar, parking assistances and steering wheel controls when replacing the factory radio. It interfaces seamlessly with the 29-bit GM LAN v2 databus and 16 and 20-pin connectors in the new Silverado and Sierra. It also works out of the box with most aftermarket radios without additional programming.
Alpine will use the new RP5-GM51 in a demo vehicle at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas on November 5 – 8. The RP5-GM51 will begin shipping from all PAC warehouses in North America on or before October 30, at a suggested retail price of $229.95.
Additional features include:
· Retains factory features such as OnStar, Bluetooth, front and rear parking assistance
- Data controlled outputs for connection to an aftermarket navigation radio
- Vehicle speed sense, reverse and emergency brake status output wires
- Data controlled retained accessory output (RAP)
- Retention of safety and warning chimes
- Keeps vehicle data-bus intact for service
- Antenna adaptor included
As with all RadioPRO solutions, there is no steering wheel control programming required, and the unit’s firmware can be easily updated at www.pac-audio.com using a PAC-UP USB adapter. PAC is an Aamp of America brand.
Best Kits & Harnesses (also a part of AAMP of America) will soon introduce the BKGMK325, a dash replacement kit designed to facilitate installation of the RP5-GM51.
