Dimensions

CRUX does not currently publish reliable overall module dimensions or net product weight on its official SOOGM-16V product page or installation manual. I recommend leaving exact assembled dimensions and weight unspecified unless you can physically measure your inventory.

Performance

The SOOGM-16V allows an aftermarket radio to be installed while maintaining important factory integration. For Bose-equipped vehicles, the module incorporates a Bose adapter to provide the appropriate input gain to the factory amplifier.

The video switcher provides connections for Video Out, Front Camera and Rear Camera, while the included 16-pin brown connector can retain the OEM rear camera on compatible vehicles. An optional rear-seat entertainment retention cable is required if RSE retention is needed.
