It works fine, here's the product's description. Wouldn't it work similarly to the factory head unit? I suppose the module does the work in translating the fade/balance.
THE CHTO-03 INTERFACE IS FESIGNED TO ALLOW THE USER TO REPLACE THE OEM RADIO WITH AN AFTER MARKET UNIT IN SELECT AMPLIFIED 2009 CHRYSLE AND JEEP VEHICLES AND RETAIN THE USE OF THE OEM AMPLIFIED AUDIO SYSTEM. THE CHTO-03 WILL ALSO RETAIN THE RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER CONVENIENCE FEATURES IF THE VHICLE IS SO EQUIPPED IN ADDITION TO THESE FEATURES THE CHTO-03 NOW HAS THE REQUIRED OUTPUTS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A NAVIGATION RADIO
Provides accessory (12 volt 10 amp)
Retains R.A.P.
Used in amplified systems
Provides NAV outputs (including mute)
Prewired ASWC harness included
Adjustable dial for overall volume
High level speaker input
USB updatable
Retains balance and fade

I don't mean to argue but I need to correct you. I can fade back to front and vice versa, and bluethtooth/hands-free are working without any head unit settings adjustment. I wired the Metra harness as instructed, front to front and rear to rear.

I will try messing with one of the NEX 8000 radios when I get to the shop to see if I can find an issue similar to yours.

You are using the radio with a "premium sound" System integration harness. The harness has front speaker inputs, but they do not work. You are hearing what is being sent to the factory amp and speakers through the rear speaker wires on the harness. And since the pioneer sends phone conversations to the front speakers, you get no audio. In Bluetooth audio mode it sends sound to front and rear. So you are hearing the rear audio through the front AND rear speakers Don't want to sound like a jerk, but it is in the instructions. Sometimes it isn't as simple as matching wire color to wire color. And with all premium(as in amplified) Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep systems, the rear outputs of the radio are used as a signal to the amp and the canbus system controls fade, balance, bass, mid, treble, etc.
So. Basically you should wire the front pioneer wires to the rear harness wires. And deal with the fact that you will not have a fader.
