I just replaced my media hub with 68397098AE and now my Android audio is working like a champ. Truck was built April 2018. I also got a new Anker USB cable that was listed here: https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/2464489?hl=en

You're right that some of their wire is CCA. This is why I didn't go with the bassiks or FCA but their Fleks cable which is actually OFC not CCA. It's a good thing you point this out to make sure people look at the type of wire not just the AWG.

As far as it seems there is no need to remove the ANC or put resistors on the amp when using the PAC. Just make sure to leave the white harness in the amp (the one with power and can bus)

Finally finished. In total, the full install is: Audiofrog GS10 Tweeters Audiofrog GS40 Midranges Audiofrog GS690 Midbass Audiofrog GS42 Center Morel Maximo 69 Rears JL 13TW5v2 Subwoofer 3 x Audio Control ACM-4.300 Amplifiers JL RD500/1 Sub Amplifier Alpine PXE-0850S DSP PAC AP4-CH41...

Got the sub going. Nearly done.

One step closer. I'm having issues with the PAC adapter so Crutchfield is sending me a new. Hope to start wrapping up Saturday.

The screen was super easy. There are some pictures here people have posted but it's just two screws at the very top under the little rubber mat and start lightly pulling in the bottom left corner to release the clips and just move your hands up as they release.

I'm not quite finished but I will let you know.

Thanks! The sub amp is a RD500/1 going to a TW5 eventually.

The audio controls are just regular 4 channel amps. The DSP is the Alpine and I'm running Toslink optical from the PacPro to the DSP. That way the factory stuff is just a source and all eq/xover etc is done by the Alpine.

Made some progress. I expect to be done by the end of this week.

I got my first delivery of parts for my upgrade. I hope to have it all installed in the next couple of weeks. I will post more pictures as I progress.
