SEEK PRESET AM FM VOLUME PLAY MUTE SWI-X Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface Pacific Accessory Corporation Installation Instructions Before You Start A. Is this product compatible with the vehicle? See application guide (seperate sheet) for listing of vehicles and connection information B. Is this product compatible with the head unit? Ensure that the new head unit is capable of being operated with a remote control, and that it responds to the remote control provided with it. The head unit must accept a remote control with the common carrier frequency range of 8 0Khz in order to work with the SWI-X. Note: Certain head units will not work with the SWI-X. See Appendix B - Known Incompatible Aftermarket Head Units (page 7). C. Prepare for the installation. If possible, install the SWI-X 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-X is working properly. Plan a general installation location for both the SWI-X LED and the control body. Keep in mind that the supplied wire harness is two feet long, and the IR harness is four feet long. Use a multimeter or approved measuring device for checking vehicle circuits. Steering wheel audio control wire SWI-X is a learning remote. Aftermarket stereo must come with a wireless remote.
Wiring Connections Note: Only wires will be used during installation. Only GM vehicles programmed for version #, will use wires. Step. Connect the BLACK wire to ground (-). Wire or location registers a constant (-) when probed. Step. Connect the RED wire to switched +V. Wire registers +V when the ignition key is turned to the ACC or ON positions. Step. Connect the appropriate interface wire (WHITE, YELLOW, ORANGE or GREEN). Refer to the. Locate the vehicle and note the SWC wire color in the Interface Wire Color column. column. Note: You will only connect ONE of these wires. The other wires will not be used. Cut and insulate the unused wires. Connect the wire as indicated in the chart. Step If necessary, perform the following operations as indicated by the notes in. Note: Step a is for vehicles made by General Motors that are programmed for version # only. If no connections is necessary, proceed to Step b. Step a. Connect the BLUE serial data wire. Connect this wire ONLY on GM passenger vehicles (no trucks or SUVs) with airbags AND steering wheel heater controls. For all other vehicles, cut and insulate the BLUE wire. Step b. If instructed by the Vehicle Application Guide, cut the BROWN wire loop and insulate both halves. Step c. If instructed by the Vehicle Application Guide, cut the VIOLET wire loop and insulate both halves, or place a resistor in-line of wires.
Programming the SWI-X to Work With the Vehicle IMPORTANT! Some steps of the programming instructions must be completed within a certain number of seconds following the previous step. Review the complete instruction before beginning the programming sequence. Step 5. Refer to Appendix C - Head Units That Require IR Extended Mode On and the Vehicle Appication Guide. Note the IR Extended Mode Setting and INTERFACE Version Number next to the selected vehicle. Fill in the information below for quick reference.

Note: If the steering wheel control has a function that the head unit remote control does not have, you can program the steering wheel function to operate any other command on the head unit remote control.
Testing the SWI-X Hold the SWI-X infrared emitter (clear blue light at the end of the four-foot wire) close to the head unit and test each function of the steering wheel controls. The right IR command when each button on the steering wheel is pressed. If any function does not work, repeat the programming instructions (starting from Step ) or refer to Troubleshooting Guide. VOL TEMP Final Installation Mount the SWI-X infrared emitter within line of sight of the head unit, testing continuously to ensure that it will operate from the chosen position. The LED can be installed in the center console or overhead console. Install the LED using the supplied black mounting bezel attached to the LED. Drill a hole just big enough for the bezel to snap into place, but not too big for it to fall through. Once the hole is drilled, insert the LED from behind through the hole and snap bezel onto the LED. Snap bezel with LED into hole.complete the head unit and SWI-X module installation.

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- X to these resistors. On the Harley Davidson, one button can be connected directly to the SWI-X. 7 7 = yel, vio, blk 00 = brn, blk, brn 50 = brn, grn, brn 560 = grn, blu, brn 000 = brn, blk, red 500 = brn, grn, red 900 = org, wht, red 500 = grn, brn, red Steering Wheel Interface Connect SWI white wire to resistors 00 50 560 000 500 By putting two or more resistor in series, you can come up with additional values.

Troubleshooting Guide No power / won t go into programming mode: Check Red wire connection and fuse. Make sure INTERFACE is connected to switched V+. Make sure vehicle ignition is on. Won t program radio commands: Make sure version number and IR Extended mode setting are programmed before attempting to program radio commands. The Steering wheel controls won t operate new head unit Make sure you have programmed the correct version number and IR Extended mode setting. Make sure you ve followed the programming instructions precisely, noting each exception and time sequence. Repeat if necessary. Place the INTERFACE emitter within range of the new head unit. To replace a broken IR emitter: Replace with standard IR emitter (i.e. Radio Shack part number 76-). Long lead of IR emitter goes to INTERFACE s emitter Red wire and short lead goes to INTERFACE s black wire) The INTERFACE controls the stereo immediately without pressing any buttons on the steering wheel: will cause the INTERFACE to send out a signal even when no buttons are pressed. During programming, the right LED turns off and goes to the left LED without pressing a button on the wireless remote: Make sure the INTERFACE s IR Receiver is not in direct sunlight. The INTERFACE controls the radio whenever the steering wheel is turned (mostly late 80 s early 90 s Honda/Acura). Program the INTERFACE for version #. When pressing and holding down the volume button on the steering wheel, the volume or track on the radio only goes up or down by one or is very slow. May also relate to other functions. Depending on some vehicles, some stereos may not respond very well. Try programming the interface for Extended IR Mode. This may or may not help in response from the stereo. For mostly GM vehicles, when going into radio programming the left LED turns off and goes to the right LED without pressing the steering wheel buttons. If the SWC wire in the vehicle s steering wheel column is cut in half, do not cut the brown loop wire on the interface. When ever I program a new button the previous button does not work. You must program all buttons during programming. If you try to program another button, all previous button will be erased. You will have to relearn all previous buttons again.
Steering Wheel Radio Controls Interfacing Information Bulletin March 0, 00 Product: SWI-X Vehicles: Honda Accord 998. May also pertain to other years of Honda and Acura. Problem: After programming, the SWI-X works fine. But after starting and driving the vehicle, one or more buttons do not work. Cause: When the car is started and warmed up, the resistance changes in one or more resistors in the switch assembly. This change in resistance is enough for our interface to not recognize the button(s). Correction: Replace the resistor(s) in the switch assembly with a same value resistor at % or a value close to the factory resistance at %. Reprogram SWI-X after replacing the resistor(s).

June 0, 00 Problem: When installing an SWI-X to the rear seat controller of the vehicle, the rear speakers do not have sound. The front speakers play fine. Solution: You must cut the Pink or Purple wire at the factory amplifier. This will keep the factory amplifier from turning off the rear speaker outputs when you apply + volts to pin# (pink or purple wire), which power up the rear seat controls for use with the SWI-X.
