2023 Mustang B&O

2023 Ford Mustang

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Works as should in a 2023 GT mustang coupe w/ B&O even though PAC and Crutchfield say it will not. Retains all OEM Head Unit functions and chimes/NAV etc. Plug and play no installation issues. PAC APH-FD01 Wiring Interface works with it too!!!

Pros: Only way to upgrade the B&O

Cons: Crutchfield and PAC product info says will not work and is not compatible, but it is.

Struggle Bus

Crutchfield customer from BLUFFDALE, UT on 3/13/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I gave this 2 Stars. Simple to install and program with usb-pc and app, But It will not turn my amplifiers off, so it will drain my battery. Then the remote pin wire in the harness completely got pulled out. I ended up having to buy a fuse tap from the auto parts store to run a remote power line to my amps( Not Ideal) Reached out to PAC tech group and they are shipping me a replacement remote pin and wire for the harness but this will not fix the issue of the amps staying on. Bummer

Unit work at integrating a audio control dsp and a mono block with retaining factory harness. Unfortunately unit failed at almost two years and support confirmed this with me.

Pros: Unit produced clean flat signals for dsp.

Cons: Unit won't last long apparently.

Worked OK. Not as good as the Rockford Fosgate DDR1. You have to connect it to a PC to make adjustments. Needs to have bluetooth to do it wirelessly. It also mounts behind the radio so it makes things difficult to modify.

PAC AmpPRO AP4-FD21 Aftermarket Amplifier Interface

Crutchfield customer from Stuart, FL on 11/16/2020

2017 Ford F-250 King Ranch

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The premise of this product is very intuitive, and seems to be exactly what you would need if you're looking to bypass the factory Sony amplifier in a Ford vehicle. This is exactly what I used this AP4 for, and for the most part, it does what it is intended to do. The few things I do not like about it are that the subwoofer RCA outputs are not sensitive enough at low volumes. At anything less than volume 15, there is no signal being sent to the subwoofer amp even with the "bass control knob" all the way up, so I ended up bypassing this option and doing a line-out conversion from the factory subwoofer to get a better signal ratio at low volume. I did like the customization of the chime volume level, that is a nice feature, as well as being able to set the gain of the minimum volume.

Pros: Bypassing the factory processor, chime and minimum volume gain control

Cons: Subwoofer output gain level is not changeable, leaving the low-end frequencies to be missed at low volume

Cons: None

2019 F350 - Not optimal

Chris from CARSON CITY, NV on 4/14/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I installed this on a 2019 F350 with the B&O audio system and pushbutton start. Some 2019 F series have the optical cable, mine did not. If yours looks like picture 1, you can use the PAC AmpPro. Install requires removal of the factory radio which is simple enough. I stupidly bought a 6 channel RC line that was too short and had to run my cabling down the center of the truck which required removal of the center console. DON'T DO THIS! just but the right length patch cable. On my application I needed the remote wire also or my amp wouldn't completely turn off. (found this out the hard way so test first!) The PAC comes with a volume knob which I did not install but connected to make adjustments. It is initially set to minimum which defeats the signal to your amp so at least hook it up and test it first. Otherwise, do drama with this. All factory signals for the warnings, nav, and phone work exactly as they should and I got good signals to my amp. UPDATED 5/19/22: First one lasted two years; new one already has problems. Front fade/balance failed and on the new unit, if the OEM min volume is set to less than -10, the front signal disappears. Hours of trouble shooting to get this up and it's the weakest link in my system.

Pros: Good signal from OEM head unit. UPDATED 5/19/22: Easy install; great when it works

Cons: A little bulky, labels for the RCAs are on the bottom so connect first, then mount. UPDATED 5/19/22: Quality control is obviously not a strong suit with PAC. Not built to last.

A wonderful product! Very happy to have found this. I can confirm that it does work in my 2013 For Flex w/ Sony system as well, despite not being listed. Made the install a breeze.

Pros: -Easy to install -Bass knob is handy -Literally plug and play -Plenty of excess wiring to make mounting easy

Cons: -Volume decrease when backup sensor starts going off very slightly delayed - only a fraction of a second

Great integration solution

Chad from Kentucky on 9/4/2018

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I'm using this in my 2016 Ford Taurus SHO. Crutchfield says it's not compatible, but they are wrong. It works perfectly, and I expect it would work in a lot more Sync3 equippped Fords with the Sony system that Crutchfield and Pac say are not compatible. I had a feeling it would work because the ACM is the same from 2013 to present, and the APIM has the same pinout whether it's Sync3 or MyFordTouch. This module just piggybacks on those two modules, so it should work the same in anything with a Sony ACM and a Sync APIM. This thing is awesome compared to the piece of garbage Rockford Fosgate DSR1 I just sent back. My stereo actually sounds like it should, not all muddy and artificial like before, and the amp turn on, steering wheel controls, Sync prompts, backup sensors, etc all work properly. I used the optional optical output with a dedicated dsp, and there is no noise, so I can't speak to how it works stand alone noise wise.

Pros: Sounds great, all original functions retained perfectly

Cons: Pain in the butt to install since the dash has to be ripped apart.

Noisy little bugger

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

If you're looking for a way to easily integrate an after market amp into your Sony system, this will do that. It does keep all the dings and Nav voice. What it adds is why it got 3 stars. Whenever I change songs it makes a weird noise sometimes, and this thing introduces some noise! I mean very very noticeable noise. I'm running Mosconi Zero amps, Focal BE and Illusion Audio Carbon speakers, all going into a Mosconi 8to12 Aerospace DSP. So I've got some nice equipment, and I was running it all on the Forscan Sony hack, but it has some weird problems, it would power on the amp through the RCA's, and sometimes it would pop when shutting off. So I thought why not try this. Well I went from an almost zero noise floor to some crazy hiss coming through my speakers, at first I thought maybe I got a bad unit, so I swapped it out a different one, still the same thing. This is all running over Stinger 9000 series RCA's, which are very high quality RCA's. The only thing that solved it was buying a good optical add-on cable. (Spending a lot on an optical cable isn't necessary, but you will audibly hear the difference). I went with Audioquest Carbon. After doing all that it sounds much better. My problem with it is I shouldn't have to buy an additional add on module, an optical cable, and reconfigure my whole system (optical cables require adjustments of amp gains) just to make this thing work as it should.

Pros: -Easy to use -Harness is of nice thick gauge wire

Cons: -Audible hiss -Weird noise when changing songs.

Amazing product. Installed 3 of them so far for my clients with F-150's. If you have the chance to get the Optical Toslink output add-on module, do it! Your DSP will thank you. Can't recommend this unit enough.

Pros: Sound Quality, Optical Output, no loss of NAV guidance, SYNC commands etc..., small form factor, prewired T-Harness with Tessa Tape!. Perfect!

Cons: Sony amplifier needs to stay in the vehicle (plugged in) in order for the OEM volume control on the head unit to continue working. PAC has told me they are working on a new firmware fix for that.
