SWI-RC
Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface
Before You Start
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 work-
ing 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.

Installation Instructions
For Alpine, JVC, Clarion, Kenwood,
Pioneer, Sony, Valor, OEM, Boyo,
Dual, Visteon, Advent & Blaupunkt
Steering Remote Ready Radios
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.
Please Note: The SWC input may be located on a
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.

Step 1 - Wiring
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.
Note: Only 3 wires from the SWI-RC will be used during installation. GM vehicles programmed for version #4, will
use 4 wires.

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

Working on a new or unlisted vehicle?
We are always looking for new vehicle information. If you’ve successfully completed the installation on a vehicle with
steering wheel controls, and the vehicle is not listed in these instructions or on our Website, contact us at

Please visit • http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/swixprogramming.asp for the most up to date listing of compat-
ible vehicles.
I cannot program the INTERFACE version number:
Is the radio selection switch in position “0”? If so refer to page 5 and select a radio position before attempting to program a •
version number.
No power / won’t go into programming mode:
Check • Red wire connection and fuse. Make sure INTERFACE is connected to switched +12 volts, not constant +12 volts.
Make sure vehicle ignition is on.•
The INTERFACE controls the stereo immediately without pressing any buttons on the steering wheel
During programming, press the buttons on the steering wheel rmly UNTIL the left LED turns off. Releasing the button too •
early will cause the INTERFACE to send out a signal even when no buttons are pressed.
Ensure that the brown loop is not cut unless instructed•
The radio changes when the key is off (RAP mode pertaining to GM vehicles) or does not work when the car/truck is running:
The INTERFACE’s Red accessory wire needs to be connected to the same circuit as the radio. If you are using a radio re-•
placement interface that does not supply BATTERY voltage as the ACC. circuit, a relay need to be installed as follows:
Terminal 86 to supplied ACC wire, Terminal 85 to Gnd Terminal 30 to the INTERFACE Red wire and Terminal 87 to BATTERY.•
When programming the SWC buttons, it takes 5 seconds for the light to go out and it never comes back on:
Do the connection instructions say to connect another vehicle wire to ACC voltage or chassis ground? If so, test the circuit •
with a Digital Multi Meter (the factory radio must be plugged in) and verify that the factory radio is providing the same output.
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 #12.•
