Default C5 PAC Oem1 issues.

Installing an Amazon single din CarPlay receiver (I know, cheap). Bose subs are not working.

The head unit doesn’t have an amp wire. I tried connecting blue/white amp lead on the pac to the HU’s acc and ant leads, no good.

suggestions?

What head unit are you installing ? Also, here’s another thread that might help. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...c-oem-1-a.html

Use Pin 11 {Blue] Power Antenna as your Amp wire from the head unit

that’s what I went with. No luck. Too bad cause it’s a nifty little HU. Only some slight trimming of the factory surround to get it to fit. Less than $200 in the whole setup.



On to aftermarket 6.5s in the doors I guess.

Hmm, it should have worked. I wonder if it has to be turned on in the setup screen for your head unit. I mean, it shouldn't, since the whole purpose of this output is to activate any power antenna when the head unit is turned on. Where this is a newer style unit, my only guesses are it is defective, or that the power antenna output is an option selection in the settings screen somewhere.

Yeah I had the same thought and went through the menus and didn't see a setting for that.
