Default I'm going nuts.! PAC amp integration unit

Ok so PAC has a C2A-CHY2 .. They also have a C2A-CHY23 ..

I have a 2011 "without" the infinity system in it. I want to add one amp for now possibly one small one for the front later. Which one of those part numbers is right for me.? The second one is the same as the first but says Amplifier integration interface for Chrysler LSFT & MS-CAN Bus vehicles. What the hell is LSFT,,,, google gets me no answers on this. They both say for factory amplified systems also. Its amplified but not with an amplifier outside of the H.U. so hopefully one of these is correct.

I did do a search, and have been looking for a while now but i want to get this ordered today so i have the stuff for a weekend install.


Many thanks in advance.

Man i did .. trust me.. It looks like this AOEM-CHR3 is what i'm after.

Now if i ever get my hands on a mygig unit i may need something different but then again maybe not.

thanks folks.

Just an update in case someone is doing a search for this later on. The AOEM-CHR3 is what was needed.


So although its the right part, the PAC unit itself has an issue. It only has RCA signal in one channel front and rear. Trust me i did a crap ton of troubleshooting and it is the unit itself. I'm call PAC tomorrow to see how they want to handle this. What sucks is that i need to rip the dash apart again to replace it. Granted its easier a second time i just hate taking dash parts apart too many times it just seems to cause rattles and such. Oh well...

So PAC was right and Amazon got me my replacement.. It now works as it should...

I am truly amazed at the fullness of sound in this thing. Its really a compliment to JEEP ( AKA Chrysler ) and how sound and quiet the 2011 interior is. <-- With a hard top i guess.

Does this amp solve the problem of no sound coming out of the soundbar speakers?

I added an amp for a subwoofer only.

You could use the harness to run a 4 channel amp for the front and rear speakers if you wanted but DONT use the factory speakers.. They are truly crap. I literally threw them away at work today..

the first one's rear rca output did not work, also the eq was rendered useless
the 2nd one did not work at all
i ended up with a kicker zxsum8, works perfect! rather large to install but it fit under the steering wheel near the factory amp
