How To Use The KICKER MultiPro Tailgate Audio System
Is your GMC truck equipped with the MultiPro Tailgate Audio System by Kicker? If so, you might be wondering how the system functions. We can help with that at Cable Dahmer Buick GMC of Independence. Just like our Independence, MO, customers, we are also passionate about all things GMC Sierra.
Getting Started
To activate the Kicker MultiPro Tailgate Audio System, follow these steps:
The Kicker system offers three ways to connect your audio devices: Bluetooth, AUX, and USB.
Bluetooth Connection
The control panel on the tailgate allows you to manage your audio experience seamlessly. You can adjust the volume, pause, skip, or rewind tracks using the buttons on the panel. Additionally, the system includes a 110-volt outlet for charging other devices or powering small electronics.
Powering Off
The system will automatically shut down when the tailgate is closed or returned to the upright position. Alternatively, you can manually power off the system by pressing and holding the power button until the control panel lights turn off.
Which GMC Trucks Have Speakers in the Tailgate?
When equipped with the MultiPro tailgate, most GMC Sierra trucks have the MultiPro Audio System by Kicker available as an option. The speaker system can add to your next tailgate party or keep you entertained while you work on a home improvement project.
We can also install the system if your GMC Sierra truck with a MultiPro tailgate did not come equipped with it. If you have questions, reach out to our team or visit us at our GMC dealership in Independence, MO, to learn more.
Getting Started
To activate the Kicker MultiPro Tailgate Audio System, follow these steps:
- Drop the Tailgate: Lower the MultiPro Tailgate to its full-width step position. This action will automatically power on the audio system, indicated by the illumination of the control panel.
- Powering On: The system operates independently of the truck’s main infotainment system, so the vehicle does not need to be running.
The Kicker system offers three ways to connect your audio devices: Bluetooth, AUX, and USB.
Bluetooth Connection
- Enter Pairing Mode: Press and hold the play/pause button on the control panel until the Bluetooth indicator starts flashing rapidly.
- Pair Your Device: On your Bluetooth-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), navigate to the Bluetooth settings and select “KICKER” from the list of available devices.
- Play Music: Once paired, you can stream music wirelessly. Ensure your device is not connected to the truck’s interior Bluetooth system to avoid connection issues.

- Connect Your Device: Use an AUX cable to connect your device to the AUX input on the tailgate.
- Enjoy Your Music: Play music directly from your device.
