    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I thought you had the 6 speaker non amp radio.. If you have the factory Alpine or HK then you dont want to use the FIX,, use the PAC. that will give you necessary ouputs and retain the issues you are worried about. I have no experience with the PAC unit other then reading these threads. Try...

    The harness i used connects between the radio and factory harness. It's basically a pigtail with only speaker wires peeled out. This harness will not work connected at the ANC.. If i were doing it,, i would use the harness at the radio and call it a day.. The ANC will be disconnected.. The...

    If you are tapping the speaker wires on the input of the ANC you will not need to do anything further with ANC, I will be disconned. At this point you want you load resistors on each ch. into your DSP. I highly recommend going into a DSP before feeding Amps. Otherwise you wont be cleaning...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    if you have the 8.4 radio there is no need to install aftermarket head unit. The 8.4 radio performs just as good with bonus of retaining all your vehicle specific stuff tied to factory can buss and radio radio system. There have been a few people that tried it and ran into issues with radio...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    If you want a really sweet set up (ihave this system) go with a FIX 86 and feed an 8-CH JL Audio VXi amp for your 8 speakers (considering you go with all new speakers including Tweets in the front) and a VxI Mono for your Sub(s). The VXi amps have built in DSP and are configurable with their...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    That is a two channel version of the FIX 86 which is a 4 CH.. The Ram 6 Speaker Radio is 4 CH system. The two mid speakers are bridged from the front speakers. If you want to run a symbol two ch. system, this would work but i don't recommend as you'll loose two channels and some functionality...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    for the 6 speaker base (either w/ANC or without) I highly recommend taking audio directly out of radio sending it to a JL Audio FIX 86 processor which does a really good job of flatting out levels and provides nice clean signal for your choice of Amp(s).. This is nice set-up retaining all your...

    Compass, gps, and CarPlay navigation issues. UConnect 4 8.4” non nav

    Good Luck.. I have been fighting these issues for 4 months.. Chrysler stopped replacing units because it wasn't fixing the issues. Right now i get the run around syndrome. And i think it's because they are waiting for software changes to fix these issues.. I am on the last straw cornering...
