The tailgate-mounted KICKER system is an independent Bluetooth audio unit with its own controls and USB charging port, so it can be used outside the cab when the tailgate is correctly deployed.
Check that your vehicle has it.
The 100-watt MultiPro Audio System by KICKER was standard on the 2023 U.S.-market Sierra 1500 AT4X and Denali Ultimate and could be dealer-installed on other compatible MultiPro-equipped Sierra trucks.

Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Park the truck and lower the MultiPro Tailgate into its full-width-step position; the KICKER remote should illuminate to show that it is active.
- 02
Press the power button to cycle the source to Bluetooth.
- 03
Press and hold the play/pause button until the Bluetooth indicator flashes rapidly, placing the system in pairing mode.
- 04
Open Bluetooth settings on the phone or other source device and select KICKER.
- 05
Start playback, then use the tailgate controls for volume, pause, skip or rewind.
- 06
Press and hold the power button to shut the system down before folding the step, or allow it to power down automatically when the tailgate is returned upright.
Important limits
- Confirm the system is actually installed; a MultiPro tailgate alone does not guarantee KICKER audio equipment.
- Keep liquids, loose cargo and body parts away from hinges and the exposed audio controls.
- The system powers down when its panel is folded or closed.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the Bluetooth name is missing, verify the tailgate panel is fully deployed and the KICKER system itself is powered on.
- ✓If a previously paired phone will not connect, disconnect it from another audio device and retry pairing near the tailgate.
- ✓If audio stops when the panel moves, reopen the panel and power the system on again; automatic shutdown is expected when folded or closed.
