@JoeJ I'm glad you liked it. I strongly believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, so I looked for 2 images that could help me explain what I wanted and added the corresponding annotations. My biggest complaint with the PAC interfaces is how badly documented they are...

I don't believe the AXXESS XSVI-2004 provides Pre-Amp outputs via RCA jacks, but if you really want RAP, you can add it to the PAC ROEM-VET1 with a little creativity

This is a classic circuit using Relay Logic to simulate RAP, unearthed by @jdmvette from the12volt.com

This is what I needed to know. I'll finish ordering the parts and wait for everything to arrive.

Thanks for the article and schematic! I might have to give this a try.

Glad to be of service!

It's a simple and inexpensive circuit that can complement the PAC interfaces, closing the functionality gap between them and the AXXESS. Let us know how it goes!

You are fantastic!!!!!

If you wanted to cut the shipping cost down.....they're probably under 13oz......you could get some tiny boxes and go 1st class too.

I'm ok with paying for the priority personally.

You can put me on the list and hope it helps it get to 10. I may go this route later on this next year.

Excellent job, MM2. Just send me your paypal addy and I'll get $$ to you.

Priority Mail flat rate is about the best combo of cost vs time. Thats how I used to ship my filter kits. Never had a problem.

Go to USPS website, you should be able to order them from there. Priority Mail boxes should be free, unless they've changed policy. For the number you need, just go to your local Post Office and ask for some.

Finally got mine back together but does anyone know how to change the temperature display from Celsius to Fahrenheit? Probably something simple but I couldn't find anything on it in the user manual.
