@joe603 You've got the right one. I've got the same one in my 21' GT. I think that FD31 is for the newer F-150's

Correct that master volume control has to be turned and set to the desired level; after that, it can be removed.

Check the manual, I don’t recall. If I remember correctly there is a master volume control which requires the knob being plugged into it.

Plugged in the remote base and no change. Software is at most current. I made a jumper from constant 12v to the remote and everything works (sounds frigging amazing actually). I may just need to run a remote to a switched source...any suggestions on that?

Are you using the remote turn on from the PAC?

Found the issue! The in-line 1A fuse holder had a bad connection...re-wired and all good now!

I really wish there was, when I started my project all I wanted was a simple upgrade. Those days are over, thank god for the Amp Pro and the pre-made harnesses

So if a guy has the premium B&O with the amp can you swap speakers and gain a little? Or do you have to go all out with aftermarket amps etc.. for some reason my rear deck speakers in my car are trash. Almost no sound coming out. I wanna swap to a different speaker with just those

You likely to notice very little improvement. Trash in equals trash out. And the rear deck speakers are choked off by the rear package tray. They are also underpowered.

So honestly, if you wanted noticeable improvement with the least amount of effort, I know it sounds counter intuitive, but the stock speakers are not the main problem. If you put in the Amp-Pro unit and a better amp and left the stock speakers it might be enough for you personally

Interesting… I’ll look into it this spring when the car comes back out. Thanks

Yes, look above your hood release handle.
