New and simple Bose bypass with full Signal Sound

[CaseySierra2020]

I adjusted the main volume then the minimums for the chimes to barely noticeable. EQ is off bc the DSP amplifier takes care of all eq, wouldn’t want anything battling the DSP settings. The great thing about the PAC unit is getting clean audio from the source.

Do you think, unhooking the battery, would reboot the PAC unit. I'm trying to track down this odd chime when I unlock the door, or turn off the truck and open the door. I don't want to remove the back seat, just to hit the reset button.

Thanks

So does this mean I'm not the only one who thinks the stock sound system sounds like you've got cotton balls shoved in your ears? It wasn't this poor on my '23 Yukon Ultimate.

Casey, did you ever resolve? I have the exact same thing.

Hey, nope it's still there. I went through a process with tech support at PAC Audio. They are completely useless. They say it's a faulty device. They claim they tried to trouble shoot, but in actuality did nothing. They also do not warranty their products outside of USA. So hopefully, you're not Canadian. What exactly is going on with your device?

I'm going to visit an audio installer shop and see if they can help troubleshoot. Maybe try another harness or pac.. it's incredibly annoying. I don't think it's coming from the radio speakers. I have a gut feeling it's another speaker maybe for OnStar or something. I can turn the amp off and the noise still happens, which means it's not from the pac, but just be some consequence of not having the factory amp.

Colorado Kid:
I first swapped out all speakers (Focals in doors and Audio Frogs in dash) and it sounded better but needed more bass and power to the mids. Last spring I installed the Sounds Good rack (the one above is not mine - I dont know why I didn't take pics of my install) with a Audio Integrations Solutions Bose Integration plug and play harness from the Bose to an Audison APF8.9 DSP amp. AIS had great detailed instructions and were very responsive to questions throughout the whole process.

The DSP amp outputs go back into the Bose integration harness and back into the Bose. It keeps door chimes and phone, etc. The subwoofer speaker output from DSP amp goes to a JL Audio 10TW sub in a custom box fits with lots of room under the seat and still keeps most of the storage. This is super simple install.

I am about to add an Audison AFM1D amp and replace the JL Audio with bigger Morel Powerslim subwoofer and will have to rewire a few things, adding a power distribution block for the two amps, so I will take some pics of every thing. This sub box is also 16" wide but a little taller - it still fits well meeting volume specs. I am excited about the octopuss-style grill on this one one to keep the bottom of seat fabric from sagging down.

I bought this harness from AIS too, but now considering the GM71 to fully bypass the “Blows” amplifier. Anyone running to a DSP out of the GM71?

The chime volume setting is too HIGH it’s adjustable on its own. The best way to set these up is to have the micro USB cable ran to an accessible location. Then you can plug into your computer for resetting the device, adjusting the volume levels, fade, balance, etc without needing to access it by removing the seat.
Plug the cable in and run it in that useless backseat compartments.

Yeah, running an Arc audio Blackbird DSP Amplifier on a TOSlink cable. Works fantastic

I have the GM71. Audio wise sounds good. Just don't like that it caused this very annoying tone on wakeup of the vehicle

This is not the chime volume. This is a completely separate tone. I've adjusted the chime volume on the pac. Even disabled it. This sound comes on wakeup regardless of the chime volume setting. It's very loud. The chime volume adjusted fine

That is 100% what I'm going through. It stops after starting the truck. When I turn off the truck, it chimes again. Then, will eventually stop when the battery powers down completely.

Have you tried turning off all chimes
