After a disastrous experience with the Xtrons unit - it cooked itself once properly wired - I'm going to follow in your footsteps. I got the Joying unit and it looks like a quality piece of equipment. I'm just waiting for the Metra din plate to come in so I can install.

One question - did you relocate your OE headunit or leave it out? If you removed it entirely, did you end up with the SOS error message in the OBC? Further, if you had that issue were you able to code it out?

Thanks!
I removed the original headunit, and the PAC RadioPRO RP4.2-BM21 interfaces with the car to prevent any SOS errors. It also gives you warning chimes, PDC and steering wheel controls.

Perfect, I wasn't sure if the RadioPRO would prevent the errors. Can't tell you how glad I am you blazed this trail for us.
