If you’re a 5th gen owner with a love for car audio and/or technology, you know, the struggle is real. For years, the Metra (99-3010S) & Scosche (GM5201AB) dash kits were the only real options to replace a 5th gen factory radio with something a bit more functional. Of course, you lose the “OEM” look, some visibility of the lower gauges (if you have ’em), the analog HV/AC control knobs, some HUD data, and a few other minor features, but you could add a large touch screen, Android Auto/Apple Car Play, Spotify, etc….. Sure, 2010-2012 owners could spend a small fortune to retrofit a MyLink touch screen system, from a 2013-2015 Camaro, but even the MyLink systems lack a lot of multimedia & smartphone integration features that you could get from a reasonably priced aftermarket head unit.

Well, out of nowhere, PAC Audio drops the RPK5-GM4101 on us and it might be the “Metra Killer” dash kit that 5th gen Camaro owners have been waiting for!! As of today, we don’t have much info other than what’s posted on their website……
