    The installation was straight forward, but i did run into some problem with PAC's amplifier integration interface. The steering wheel control and back up camera would not work..it took three calls with customer service to determine it was broken. Once I got the new unit, the process of setting up the steering wheel controls and back up camera was SIMPLE.

    Currently i'm working with customer service to determine poor voice call quality. I think it's the external microphone so i'm hoping to get this fixed soon (i may just buy a new microphone).

    The original backup camera sucks with this unit. I'm going to shop around and find a good 720p camera and install it in the coming weeks.

    Good work ! Is that a S8 standard or premium ?
    does the wiring harness plug & play handles the Sterring Wheel Control, as well as the original reverse camera as well ?
    i read somewhere the original reverse camera needs a 12v to 6v step down converter.

    Hi Mr. Koo (love the last name) - it's the S8 Premium. I bought the PAC RP4.2-TY11, radio antenna, and reverse backup harness in order to get everything up and running. Steering wheel controls and original reverse camera work well - i do experience a 5 second delay on the reverse camera every now and then but that doesnt bother me much.

    The PAC module does the step down from 12v to 6v - BTW, their customer service is amazing.

    My only complain is that the Bluetooth microphone (external and internal) are horrible. Making calls while you're parked is amazing. Soon as you get on the road the mic starts to picks-up road noise and once you're on the highway the person on the other end cannot hear.

    I bought two other mics and placed them in several different locations with little to no improvement. Based on the fact i cannot make calls on the road, i'm going to return the unit. It's unfortunate because the unit is amazing.
