yes He could utilize a PAC module, but he'd have to change out his H/U to one with a wired remote jack in the back..

The PAC also works with infrared remote input. You have to install the transmitter bulb in line-of-sight of the HU receiver. The HU doesn't need a wire remote but just any remote control capability. Still not possible with the stocker.

Well thanks to all here who helped me to get the 'SWC' button assembly out. I got it done!, BUT no thanks to me, that I properly screwed up the light swap. I got solder mabey in the wrong place & the new blue plcc in crocked as hell, then when I went to remove it, it came up along with a strand of circuit board too! So Needles to say, It's all Friggked up! my bad...
When I put it back in minus the led, I get vol up & down & NO mode function & only channel up & NO channel down.. & of course no Mode illumination.
I got a replacemnt assembly on order,,,,
IF anyone here wants to take a stab at fixing mine up, let me know.. I'll send it to ya & let you perform surgery on it to get it back to normal.. PM me if you can help..
Thanks all for the help.. All relies are welcomed & encouraged.. Thanks agian.. jh

It's difficult, but it's well worth it at the end...

You can see the 4 LED cluster for the back lighting....
AND on the top of the picture you'll see the LED for the mode/indicator light..

you sure you got your socket IN all the way.. Mine is a bit of a biscuit to get seated in there, Then make sure you got your ratchet going in the =un-screw= position before you stick it on the socket.. you MAY be going the wrong way, 'tightening'..... good luck.. jh
