1. Nice hood design! Love it.

2. PCCM+ i had some customers that had problems with popping noises and a kind of white noise while the PCCM+ is on and also off. Seems to depend on what amp config you have. If you use the internal amps the problems seems to be not present. But to me that's no wonder because the PCCM+ needs to work with +2 to +6 Volt inputs, hight-out inputs – so completely different impedances and also with the MOST bus amps. So there is a lot to test and to consider.

In a silent environment (garage and engine off) I noticed that white noise now, too.
It is very subtle, but noticable once detected. Of course only when the volume is turned down to almost 0. Not sure, if a filter might help. Could it be the dab+/FM splitter maybe, as it sounds like radio white noise?
As I have my Kennwood mini sub wired to the PCCM+ now, I am not sure, if it is the culprit.
And I noticed, that the internal amp is getting pretty hot.
No popping sounds. White noise only when radio is on.
Despite of that, I am literally blown away by the power output and sound quality. The PCCM+ is pretty base-heavy, and actually needs no mini sub like all my other head units did before.
But oh boy, with my mini sub already on minimum output level, it has an overwhelming output now.

And the wireless carplay adapter works like a charm.
Now I only need a modified 6pin camera adapter for a backup camera, and I am more than happy.


Routing all my cables and devices in the little area...is a total nightmare
FYI, both knobs are not illuminated, weird
