No warning/system sounds after amp install

[dcanzalone]

I installed a Musway 4 channel amp and a Kicker HS10 with the plug and play adapters. The install went smoothly and sounds great, but I dont have any system or warning sounds now (sensor warning/door dings, etc.). Any clue want I can do?

did you use any audio interface/converter?

Not much to go on in your setup. You mention “plug and play adapters” is that plugnplay.com? If so, Joe knows his stuff, I’d reach out to him if you haven’t already.

When you replace the factory amp or reroute speaker wiring without preserving the factory signal chain, you interrupt those chimes. Use a proper integration module (like iDatalink or PAC).
PAC AmpPRO AP-FD01 or AP4-FD21 (depending on trim/audio system)
iDatalink Maestro AR + FO1 t-harness. These preserve factory chimes and provide clean audio signal to your amp.

In my case, I installed a Kicker Key 200.4. After my install I had the same issue as you. Turns out the factory head unit needs to “see” there are speakers attached; like there is some circuit resistance. The Kicker Key has a Radio-Detect circuit that supplies a speaker load for the head unit to sense. I don’t see a nifty little switch on the Musway 4 so you’ll need something else like the adapters I mentioned above.

I hope this helps…

It is from Joe, he was great when I bought everthing, I havent reached out to him yet. Its weird, I got in the truck today and most of the sounds are back, startup sound, radio clicks, and front warning sensor, however no rear warning beeps.
