So low?
Mine sits higher than my jumpseat and I love it!

Great job guys looks good. I'm working on doing a wood kit look now on my inside. Also putting in a different module with 360 camera with dash video for movies and a camera which will turn on for my trailer while driving down the road so I can check on it while driving.

That’s correct. There are some things to check for though before we can move forward. If you read the first post of this thread, you’ll find 2 different connection types under your passenger seat. You’ll have to determine if you have the 16-Pin connector or the variant 23-Pin.

That’s the plug for the passenger seat itself.

I need to see the plug that is under the seat (towards the jumpseat). There should be a square cutout in the carpet. Take a peak and snap a couple of pics.

Yup. That’s the 23-Pin connector. In order for me to build you a harness, you’ll have to pull the jump seat out, fully extract the harness, and send it to me. I would them build off of that.

Ok

so here’s the thing......

i have a new leather interior going in on the 16th. Is there a chance I could get it back by then?  Trying to avoid taking out the seats twice.

I ship USPS Priority Mail once I am done with it. If you pull the connector out and lay in area where the center console would go, there wouldn’t be a need to remove the seats again. Then when ready to install the center console, just plug it in.

Hey Phil

Can you tell by this pic if I have the 16 pin connector.  I knmow it's a bad pic didn't have time to move the seat to get a better pic. My truck is a 17 LT Z71

It's awesome! I paired it with some JL door speakers they sound great. The EQ is very customizable I think has like 9 bands that you can tune individually, it also has preouts if you want to add a sub or amp. It does retain the steering wheel controls but you lose control to the screen where the speedometer is. You can still scroll through the menus but speech to text no longer works. Also it doesn't have android auto but I got around that with this https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-P3Q-00001-Wireless-Display-Adapter/dp/B01AZC3J3M, It will screen anything on your phone like netflix or hulu over your phones wifi (a chromecast or firestick won't work). I haven't really tried the built in nav yet but it seems ok, you can use google maps through the alpine app too. Don't buy the expensive hdmi switch any $15 one on amazon will work. Overall I'd definitely recommend it. I think i'm going to add this eventually https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQBY174/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1M2AR6046TFJG&psc=1 speakers sound great without it though.

 

EDIT: I'd also get the bypass for anyone that wants to watch video on trips or anything and to get the wireless adaptor to work

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
