A. Is this product compatible with the vehicle?

• Please visit http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/swixprogramming.asp for the most current list of compatible vehicles.

B. Prepare for the installation.

• If possible, install the SWI-RC while you are installing the new head unit. Keep in mind you may need to plug in the factory stereo to locate certain wires; therefore do not complete the head unit installation until the SWI-RC is working properly.

• Plan a general installation location for both the SWI-RC plug and the control body. Keep in mind that the supplied wire harness is two feet long, and the 1/8" plug harness is three feet long.

• Use a multimeter or approved measuring device for checking vehicle circuits.

Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface

For Alpine, JVC, Clarion, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, Valor, OEM, Boyo, Dual, Visteon, Advent & Blaupunkt Steering Remote Ready Radios

Installation Instructions

06-18-10

For Alpine, Clarion, JVC, Pioneer, Sony or Valor radios, connect the SWI-RC 1/8" plug into the radio's Steering Wheel input jack on back of radio or wire harness. For Kenwood or OEM radios, connect the blue/yel wire to the remote Input wire (blue/yel or yel/blu for Kenwood, gray for OEM) of radio.

Blaupunkt radios with optional wireless remote inputs are supported by the SWI-RC, however we do not supply any connectors or support for Blaupunkt. It is up to the consumer or installer to supply this connector. Use vehicle Connector Chart and use VW connector as reference. Connect the SWI-RC's blue/yel wire to pin #11 of VW connector. The connector you obtain may come with two of three pieces, however the connector (usually green) should show pin #11 on it.

seperate harness instead of the radio chassis. Please refer to the radio's installation manual before plugging in the SWI-RC to be certain you are using the correct input to prevent damage.

Please Note: The SWC input may be located on a

SWI-RC

Step 1 - Wiring

Note: Only 3 wires from the SWI-RC will be used during installation. GM vehicles programmed for version #4, will use 4 wires.

Step A.

Connect the BLACK wire to ground (-).

Verication: Wire or location registers a constant

(-) when probed.

Step B.

Connect the RED wire to switched +12V.

Verication: Wire registers +12V when the ignition key is turned to the ACC or ON positions.

Step C.

Connect the appropriate interface control input wire (WHITE, YELLOW, ORANGE or GREEN) to vehicle. please refer to the included chart or visit:

www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/swixprogramming.asp

Step D.

If indicated, cut the necessary loop and add the proper resistor as indicated in the connection chart or on the website.

NOTE: Using T-Taps is NOT recommended. It is VERY important that ALL connections be solid & secure. Soldering or crimp connects are best and will provide reliable operation.

Appendix C: Resistor Kit

Some vehicles have a separate wire for each of the steering wheel buttons. Use this resistor kit for the steering wheel push buttons that do not already have a resistor network connected to them. Examples are Nissan and Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Connect a resistor to each side of a push button and connect the other ends of the resistor all together. Connect the SWI-RC's white wire to these resistors. On the Harley Davidson, one button can be connected directly to the SWI-RC.

47 = yel, vio, blk 100 = brn, blk, brn 150 = brn, grn, brn 560 = grn, blu, brn 1000 = brn, blk, red 1500 = brn, grn, red 3900 = org, wht, red 5100 = grn, brn, red

By putting two or more resistor in series, you can come up with additional values. Ex. 150 + 1000 + 1500 = 2650

ohms.
