IF YOU INSTALL A ALPINE HEAD UNIT, YOU HAVE TO CUT THE GREEN WIRE LOOP ON THE AERPRO 12 PIN CONNECTOR TO HAVE YOUR STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS CONTROL THE HEADU NIT! FOUND THIS OUT ONCE IT WAS TOO LATE AND I HAD DONE THE INSTALL! There is links in the VIDEO DESCRIPTION to the Aerpro V2 Kit, Alpine iLX-507 head unit, and dash trim removal tools!
I saw that when you were showing the instructions. So for wiring, you didn't have to purchase any other harnesses. I just bought the Aerpro from Joe along with the universal harness (not sure which unit I'm going with yet) and I'd really like the steering wheel volume controls to work
@@joshatkinson01 I bought the harness that was specific for the brand of head unit that I was going with. The wiring diagram for the SWC patch is what you have to pay attention to for steering wheel controls.
I just buttoned up the last of it today. Forgot to check the comments about the green wire. OOF. For some reason my 507 kept shutting off while holding it to make sure everything was good before I put it back in. Anyways appreciate it once again.
Awesome video with very detailed walk-through. Thank you. Quick question where did you route the USB connections for easy access? I'm thinking of firmware updates, etc.
I have a question I asked this on the G8 site how do you get the phone controls to function everything else works as it should I'm using a pioneer head end
Yes it has an auto setting. I have another video on the channel that is a full overview of the controls, functions, and a review of it. ruclips.net/video/Iz8qLPPOTKQ/видео.html
Hey awesome video, can I ask, in the videos I have seen, why do the buttons look so dim or like theyre flickering? Is that the camera or just how the buttons are? Thanks!
The flickering is the camera. They are just slightly dim but definitely visible. I have a review video here on the channel where I go in further depth on this unit.
Great step-by-step. My radio and A/C module are F'd. Does this setup replace the car's original A/C module? It obviously replaces the controls, but is this replacing the module?
@@whiplashtv2022 thanks. The dealership guy says my module is bad, which is separate from the controls. I've been getting different stories from different people on this issue so I thought I'd ask.
Try to reprogram it as shown in the video and see if that fixes anything. Also, I show in the “review video” how to do a reset/reprogram with the Areopro system.
I have the exact same setup, but for whatever reason, i can't use the settings on the display. My guess is that since the car thinks it's in drive or not in parkedit won't let me use the settings. I was wondering if you had any issues with that and if you could give any advice.
So the 1 negative with this head unit is that you have to pull the parking brake to do the settings, equalizer, etc. You have to do the parking brake 2X. So pull the parking brake, release it, and then pull it 1 more time and then you can do it all. Also, did you see the pinned comment and the information about the green wire?
Got mine installed at a good reputation local shop. They did a great job was all working great. Then all of a sudden only the steering wheel controls work now. The knobs on the actual aerpro are not working. Did I enter a mode on accident ? HELP
@@darvidlsx6.0 the only other thing that I can think of is to disconnect the battery, give it 10 minutes or so and then hook it back up and see it that resets it. Otherwise, reach out to the place that you purchased it.
Yes you can, but I am not installing an amp. I already upgraded the 8” factory subs to Kicker subs and adjusted the factory amp and it sounds great to me.
Appreciate the walk through. It is the same for a base 2008 G8. Only at 18:30 where you disconnect the antenna and the other connector is for the atari gauges. So that's to be left connected if you have the atari gauges. Thanks again for the help brother.

Why the hell is it ALWAYS the hottest and most humid time of the year whenever I do audio work fml!! Thanks for this.
I have been there and done that. It is super hot here in Texas. Thanks for watching. I hope that you enjoy the other videos on the channel as well!

You’re welcome! I am glad that the video was helpful. Don’t forget to check out the other videos here on the channel!
Don’t ever sell the g8, keep it going brotha!
I plan on keeping it forever so far. It has been a great car!
I’m about to install the iLX-w650 in the mustang, can’t wait!
Heck yeah! That is supposed to be a good unit too. There were some things that the iLX-507 has that I definitely wanted so I went with it.
Awesome video with very detailed walk-through. Thank you. Quick question where did you route the USB connections for easy access? I'm thinking of firmware updates, etc.
Thanks. I hooked up the USB to the USB port on the new Aerpro kit. It is shown in the video.
Appreciate the guide, man!
Installing mine this weekend.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching! What head unit are you going with?
I have a question I asked this on the G8 site how do you get the phone controls to function everything else works as it should I'm using a pioneer head end
@@jayzilba5427 in the video, it shows the “SWC Patch wiring”. Follow the instructions for the Pioneer head unit.
Hell yeah broo been waiting for someone to do this
I was surprised to see that no one had done one yet. Thanks for watching!
Nice i have been looking for a tutorial im going to save this vid for the future
Thanks for checking it out. Which head unit are you going with?
@@whiplashtv2022I’m doing pioneer bro what u think
Pioneer is ok. I prefer the Alpine or Kenwood over Pioneer personally. Which Pioneer model are you looking at doing?
@@whiplashtv2022 DMH-W2770NEX wireless Apple car play .
Is there an "auto" setting for the AC fan? Install looks good. Might switch to it from G8 Designs in favor of the physical buttons.
Yes it has an auto setting. I have another video on the channel that is a full overview of the controls, functions, and a review of it.

I haven’t tried stealth mode yet with it. That is a good question 🤔
This is a great video
Thanks
Great guide

Great step-by-step. My radio and A/C module are F'd. Does this setup replace the car's original A/C module? It obviously replaces the controls, but is this replacing the module?
Thanks. It replaces the hvac controls, yes. I am not sure exactly which “module” you are referring to other than all the hvac a/c controls.

@@whiplashtv2022 yeah I tried, no luck.
@@rolintt bummer
lucky bastard they been out of stock for awhile now....
Dang really? That does suck. I ordered one shortly after the V2 kits came out.
I did mine like a year ago never regret 😅lol
It is definitely a great upgrade!
Where did the oil pressure gauge end up?
Thanks bro
You’re welcome
@@whiplashtv2022 how do I connect my amp remote wire to the kit
I don’t have an aftermarket amp…but if you do have an aftermarket amp then I believe it is the blue wire that is used.
I have the exact same setup, but for whatever reason, i can't use the settings on the display. My guess is that since the car thinks it's in drive or not in parkedit won't let me use the settings. I was wondering if you had any issues with that and if you could give any advice.

About the swc, correct?
@@franciscovega8047 yes, cut the green wire loop on the 12 pin connector on the Aerpro for Alpine.
Does this kit utilize the factory Amp?
Yes it does
did you lose your oil & battery gauge above the AC fans? I followed your process & for some reason they are off now. other than that everything’s good
Mine is a 2009 so it doesn’t have the atari gauges there above the air vents.
@@whiplashtv2022damn, alright. thanks for the quick reply
@evann3770 no problem
Did you cut the green wire on your swc patch harness
I didn’t cut it yet. Found out about that once it was installed. I have to take it back out and do that.
Got mine installed at a good reputation local shop. They did a great job was all working great. Then all of a sudden only the steering wheel controls work now. The knobs on the actual aerpro are not working. Did I enter a mode on accident ? HELP
There is supposed to be a way to do a reset on the system. I think it was pushing in and holding both knobs but I can remember for sure.
@@whiplashtv2022 I tried that and it did nothing man .

@@whiplashtv2022 yea bro that’s litteraly my best bet. I’ve tried it all.
@@darvidlsx6.0 yeah probably so.
Did i miss the reconnect of hazard lights?
The hazard lights are built into all of that wiring on the back of the Aerpro V2 that was shown. It isn’t a separate connection on it’s own.
Thanks.. love the channel. I also have a red G8 GT.. love these cars
@user-pt3gf5cq3i Thanks for watching! I love these cars too.
Whats that spoiler?
Here is the link to the video of the carbon fiber spoiler! ruclips.net/video/2ROG4xokJJo/видео.htmlsi=lesTCr7Z-fUVxpaH
Are the temp controls Fahrenheit or Celsius
Fahrenheit, but you can change them to celsius
@@whiplashtv2022 sweet I just want Fahrenheit. I see your other video installing new door speakers. Did you install an amp?
Yes you can, but I am not installing an amp. I already upgraded the 8” factory subs to Kicker subs and adjusted the factory amp and it sounds great to me.
@@whiplashtv2022 I've read some where there is a wiring mod where the wires are crossed for the subs. Did you do that mod?
@@lunitunz yes I did and I deleted the front center speaker as well.
@whiplashtv2022 i assuming this would be the same on a 2008 base G8?
I am not sure about that.
@whiplashtv2022 where do you view oil pressure now? I noticed it's now all black above the unit where both the voltage and oil pressure used to be.
@@lazybkworker I have a 2009 that didn’t come with the atari gauges. If you have those gauges then that won’t be affected.
