    GEN 2 Metra A2B Interface?

    Your center will not be retained because you are removing the b&o amp that powers it. Further, the zen will automatically re-route the center channel alerts to the front left and right. The rear alerts will still run through the rear speakers as long as they are amplified like the fronts.

    GEN 2 Metra A2B Interface?

    I made my own harnesses to extend the units to the far left. The rear window motor is pretty flush already. You will need to flip the two modules mounted to the back wall so they also sit flush. I used double stick Velcro to to attach them. What speakers would you not being using? I am confused...

    GEN 2 Newbie Here...Looking for decision thoughts

    I know it sounds crazy but 2020’s are just around the corner and they are almost guaranteed to be a refreshed body style and new interior. Let’s say you wait 4-5 months for the new body style and you don’t like it. Well it’s a win win because A. you actually get the option to choose and make an...

    Stereo Upgrade

    No you don’t. The signal out of the oem headunit is excellent as is and the fact that it is integrated with every other system in the vehicle, it’s not something I would recommend removing.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    So you tapped the sony amp subwoofer output or you taped the the right front midbass speaker output? Plug you factory speaker back in and check for crackling again.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Can you post a picture of your connections please? Since you have the sony system, adding an amp would have been as simple as tapping the sub output on the sony amp. Just to confirm, you did or did not have crackling prior to replacing the speakers?

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    The fact that oem harness was cut is where I would start. You can have a short on the negative side of the speaker channel and a multi meter will still show continuity. You can also have a positive from one channel and a negative from another channel mixed. This will cause static. A polarity...

    GEN 2 Metra A2B Interface?

    No center channel. Not needed. Using toslink instead of analog. Toslink is a 2 channel digital signal so chimes are routed through the truck through 2 channels. Performs like oem just comes out of tweeter instead of center. The amp rack is made from 1/4” abs.

    GEN 2 Metra A2B Interface?

    Yes, the preferred method is to use the NavTV Zen a2b. Then you can do things like this..... (install is still in process, everything has to be removed one more time to finish the acrylic led risers, leds, leather wrapping, and beauty panel but it is sounding incredible!)
