yah, it's a ChoroQ Hybrid RC... my wife got it for me while she was visiting japan.

i think a few places have it on ebay/amazon.

as far as re-programming, why not just get a new PAC from amazon for like $40 and just do it correctly?

Cus Pac=FTL, lol

No, that another $50 bump...

Has anyone been able to get this to work properly? I'm getting ready to do my install and bought this unit...

Gmendez · 11-01-2010, 09:47 AM

Still on the fence here....I;m getting ready to install a Kenwood DNX6960 in my 2010 NISMO. I have heard that the PAC is way too slow (operation) and the Axxes, while it functions instantaneously, cannot be programmed without some cable. What's the real story?? DOES ANYONE KNOW??

pg6speed · 11-01-2010, 09:58 AM

No extra cable needed for the AXXES I installed one in a 2010 Nismo this weekend. Just wire it up per the directions and then manually program it and your controls will work with no lag.

Great, thanks!

Carbon_z · 11-01-2010, 11:33 AM

so you dont have to manually install the PAC like you do with the Axxess? What are the install instructions on the PAC... I about to order one of these little demons to work with my double din but trying to figure out which on involves less head ache.

NewYorkJon34 · 11-01-2010, 01:50 PM

For anyone that is undecided on which one to get, trust me and get the axxess unit. I have experence with both on this car, but the pac was just a real pain to work right (which it doesn't) and it has a lag to it. I have the axxess and love it, no lag at all and is easy to install. You will need to get the update cable though, but it works just as good as OEM.

DeEePiDDy · 11-01-2010, 03:27 PM

agreed.. My Axxess had to be manually programed, but it works perfectly and there is Zero lag.

bigaudiofanat · 11-01-2010, 06:48 PM

Go with the metra to anyone who has not decided its a great unit and better than pac.

mototrmpt · 11-02-2010, 09:58 AM

Does anyone have the Axxess update cable that they no longer need and are willing to sell for a discount? I'm still having problems with getting the pre-set station up and down contols to work. They currently only go up or down to the next available station. Anyone else having this problem? Does the upgrade fix that problem?

PM me if you're interested.

I got Axxess to work with the base steering controls. Didn't need any extra cables, but had to program manually.

Look here
