I know it’s an old video and you may not respond anymore, but I just want to say thank you! Instructions on PAC’s manual is very confusing, and I just can’t understand how to remap buttons. Your video has greatly helped me understand the process, thank you!

Dude. You're awesome. You helped me finish the upgrade on my wife's subaru which I started almost 2 years ago :-)... She couldn't be happier with her stereo now. Thank you!

Man. I watch A LOT of videos on how to do stuff.. and watching a seasoned pro do a video blew my mind. just the organizational tips alone!!

These are notorious for being a PITA and you did it very well.

Thank you teacher you are the best

Oh man thank you so much for this video! You made this task so much easier for me I would have been overwhelmed by all the steps involved in proper installation of this controller. My steering wheel buttons work just the way I want them. You made the complex go so smooth. Thanks again!

This video made this install so much easier. Directions on the product need some TLC.

Great video...way better then trying to decipher the instructions. I just wish i had watched this before I just soldered the wiring harness all together. Did that yesterday and got the SWI-RC today...oh well. Guess it's just a couple wires.

watched the video again more closely. The version is what you set at the beginning of programming. Press and hold - turn on key - then press program button the number of times for the version you are programming. It will flash to confirm programming version. Thanks

I Have a Lexus Xr330 2006 and i wish to know what harness is the correct to install a double din radio , and also my oem radio does have only two plugs in the back , but im not certain that i have an amplifier from factory , and which harness do you recommend for steering wheel control? Appreciate your time in making the videos, lot of good information, Thanks

Great video, I just installed the pac sw1 r1 for my 07 tacoma. I did steering swap from 21 tacoma. But when I tried to go through the steps to program the interface, it doesn't work. The led doesn't blink 8 times. Any advice, thanks

thank you for answering my question

Hello, love your videos and they are great help. I was wondering if you could answer something for me. I am about to install a double din with the same pac audio unit and the car has factory mic. do I need to install a new mic to the double din or would the factory mic still be retained?

Thanks 👌 You guys are awesome 💪 👏 ✌️ 👊 😊 🙏 💯%✔️

In programming mode I have a button that performs two functions, so do I program the button twice to do both functions?

What if you buy one already pre harnessed ? Do you still need to program it?

Hi. Thank you for this video. I am currently installing a soundstream dvd/nav system. I am using PAC products to install into a 2009 Cadillac DTS. I'm sure the products will work with the car. But unsure of what to use as far as the brand of radio goes since PAC doesn't list soundstream. Have you worked with soundstream before? I got the radio going but not the swc. Please let me know if you have some tips. Thanks.

Hi I am trying to "program the version" for my 2014 Isuzu d-max (in Australia) I've set the switch to position 4 to suit the Clarion head unit.

I asked this question in general discussion but, I decided to ask it here as well maybe here is more relevant, Question, Is the Scosche TA07SRC a good alternative to the PAC TATO in my 2004 Prius with JBL digital amp along with the PAC SWI-RC? is this a good combo?

What is the blue box? Where can I get it from to programm the aftermarket buttons?

I am assuming that if the same button is used for two functions that you just use it twice in the programming sequence. For example, the instructions reference Preset Up/Disc Up and Track Up/Seek Up. My vehicle (2005 Tacoma) will use the same button for both, depending upon the source.

What about a blaupunkt Portland 310NAV that has two wires for steering wheel interface can you give some information on installation with this one

Recently got an aftermarket stereo with this swi. But I have issue programming it. During the individual button programming, I turned on the key, it flashed the correct program, I hold the Program Button until lights up and hold volume button until the LED goes out, but when I release the volume button, the LED never goes back on. I connected the ground (black) wire with the ground on the stereo. Is it the reason? or is there something else I should be considering?

Hi, Thanks this video is great, but have a question. I have a skoda superb 2011 (like Passat) the data sheet points me to use can interface for wiring instructions, I have the vw-ss-01 but I could not find any data on it for the wiring. Please advise Many thanks

Why can't you connect the rest of the wires to the aftermarket connecting harness? Does it have to be the factory harness?

Hi there I have a tacoma. I just watched this video and am a little confused. On note #267, it says connect the INTERFACE's White/Black wire to Pin 22 (Yellow/ Black) of the vehicle connector. But in the video as you were reading the wiring instructions, you said and wrote down to connect Pin 22 (Yellow/ Black) to the interface's (White/ Red). Im not sure where you are getting the white/ red from, cause it clearly says White/ Black in my instructions ?

nice video, you made it look "easy"...question; what type of tape are you using? It looks like a mesh tape...is it or is it just standard electrical tape? I just picked up one of these and a JVC for my pathfinder. Edit: I discovered the paper VIIG instructions included w/ the device were different than the instructions provided online. The online instructions provided extra information that saved me from having to install the resistors. So, double check online before trusting the paper VIIG instructions. Mine were printed in 2013. Thanks again.

Is Pioneer AVH-X390BS and SWI-RC together compatible with a 1989 Trans Am GTA????

Hello. Thank`s for your video. I installed Pioneer to Chevy Trailblazer 2006 with PAC RP4-GM11. And I believe wiring was made proper by pro installers. But when it went to button mapping something went wrong. I did all the steps exactly the way you show in your video. Neither default mapping was right nor the programming attempt helped to solve the issue. I the end of the day i draw my Chevy away with total mess at steering wheel butеons: my Mute is missing preset - is the only button and it is on source select button track+ is on preset- and this is it. I would greatly appreciate if you give me an idea on how to fix this.

Just an FYI. The pac interface has been changed or updated. I had the original one and it burned out so I thought I could use the same wires but, it’s completely different. There’s now multiple switches, 2 plugs, and even a mini usb port.

Had a shop install this on a 2011 Camry SE non amplified with a Kenwood DDX9703 and the answer call, hang up and voice activation isn't working should these functions work. Do I need to take it back to them to reprogram. Thanks.

what are the versions about and what difference do they make. I have a 05 honda pilot at is has 2 versions (version 3 and 9). 3 doesn't require cutting purple loop. 9 does. What's the difference or does it matter?

I assumed (Gray) it's wire white and black? and thanks for the answer!

Hey man. I got this installed along with a kenwood stereo in my Honda Pilot. The steering wheel controls works sometimes and at other times they don’t. Any idea why this would happening? Thanks

Hi, I got a problem, I program successfully the SWI-RC, it works for some minutes and then stop working, then I have to shut down the car and then start it again and then the SWI-RC works good for some minutes until it stop working again. Any ideas? It is a Honda CR-V 2012.

How do I install PAC SWI-CP2 Steering Wheel Control Adapter to a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX then to a 2010 F-150 4X2 supercrew?

They are required for certain vehicle/stereo combinations, the instructions detail when and where to use them.

The previous owner of my car put in an aftermarket stereo but chose not to integrate the steering wheel controls. My parents could not understand why I wanted to get those back so badly. They said, “just look over at your phone (mounted on a windshield mount) but that’s precisely what I’m trying to avoid-gotta keep my eyes on the road

I’m having a heck of a time finding the SWI control wires from my steering wheel. I have a 2007 civic EX! Help!! I can’t find them :-/ any help is appreciated.

We should never cut off seemingly unnecessary wires from the wiring harness kit, because there could be mistakes in the instructions, such as the colours may be listed incorrect (it does happen). I just tape them to the side. They hardly take up any room, and it means the same wiring harness can be re-used if the person wishes to use the radio in a different vehicle, in the future. If the new wiring harness is made correctly, then it shouldn't be necessary to strip any insulation from the vehicle's original wiring. After all, the pins are right there in the plug, so they should be getting used.

Any idea on how to do it for a Nissan Leaf? It's got a Bluetooth Control Unit in back on the side of the trunk of the car.
