Glad you’re back at it with posting

Thanks for this! Another Portland S2K rocking the Power Acoustik. I was able to retain (gain) dash controls with the Metra ASWC-1. Very easy install. Replaced an old Kenwood deck with no dash controls.

Heck yeah, that’s what’s up man! Every time I see an S2k on the road I’m never in mine 😂

I purchased one from Walmart at 3 am, it arrived at my house at 930 am and by noon I had it installed. This thing is awesome I was skeptical about the quality but this thing is amazing for the price! Definitely recommend purchasing . I have it installed on a 68 mustang so not much wiring for me need to be done lol

@@ronfromportland just bought the headunit, had to go to different walmarts to find it. Couldnt find the harness but end up ordering it online from Walmart. should have in a couple of days. Hopefully I will be able to install it based on your very helpful video. Now just have to wait for your next video on how DCI works and if you had a heard from Modifry if the Kenwood DCI would work with Power Acoustic HU?

Man those solder connectors are the truth man and they keep the wires from being too bulky! I have one of those kits too. Nice fitment on the radio man! I do like the fact the radio is hidden!

Thanks for the vid man. This helps a ton. Im getting the head unit tomorrow. Also emails modrify because when i tried preordering the harness it says: Variant can only be purchased with a selling plan. Also,from what you said, will the kenwood dci work on the power acustik? Thanks again for the vid

I just checked the Modifry link and can confirm what you’re saying. I’m thinking the pre-order stock ran out but I was able to order one successfully. Regarding the DCI, I’ve read from multiple folks on FB that the Kenwood version should work with the PA unit but I can’t fully confirm comfortably until I try it out on my own setup. Too many factors at this point but I’ll do my best to update everyone whenever the harness gets delivered!

Hi I’m about to preorder a modifry plug n play harness, and I also was reading through their website that the DCI adapter harness will also be needed to go with it? Is that correct, meaning that I’ll have to get 2 harnesses from them? Just wanting to make sure! Thanks

@ronfromportland

Ай бұрын

If I remember correctly, you only need the plug n play harness + the DCI unit since the harness should have a separate wire to plug the DCI into. I’d double check that though!
