[QUOTE="earbender, post: 8705607, member: 669801"] I want to try keeping the UConnect because: - I’ve read too many fail threads at the Promaster forum when people have tried aftermarket head units. blinking dash lights, clocks that won’t reset, lost steering wheel controls, back-up cameras failing, etc - I’ve read you need a PC in order to program Maestro to work with the PM. I use Macs. Don’t have a PC, and don’t run windows. - So far, the UConnect integrates okay with my older iPhone. That’s not always the case with every HU. When I calculate the success rate of easily installing a new head unit, it isn’t high enough to justify not just trying the stock HU with the alpine amp and seeing how it sounds, when the alpine is doing most of the amplification and the HU is only in charge of D/A conversion. If it sounds like trash, I can still swap it out afterwards and there is no unnecessary work that was performed. Do you know where I should try splicing? [/QUOTE]
