wkevingossett Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just ordered the PAC SWI-PS unit to regain steering wheel controls with my new HU (Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD). Has anyone installed/programmed one of these before? Any tips would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dehydorn Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I tried... 2 days later I quit trying... I got it installed correctly, good voltage numbers registered everytime i hit a steering wheel button....just couldn't get the dang thing to program... got to the part where you have to push the buttons in a specific order and nada zip nothing... its now resting neatly in the cubby hole in my way back... I may try again someday...but just buying a wired Pioneer remote seems so much easier to me now their tech support is helpful but i went thru about 3 100 ohm resistors so you may wanna pick up a couple spares cuz it only comes with one and the wire snaps off them easily... then youre stuck doing resistor math trying to wire 2 together... lol PAIN!!!! but good luck let me know how it goes I'd love to get mine working...

end Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I installed the PAC SWI JACK (i have a clarion unit) and it hasn't given me any problems. It does make you press the steering wheel buttons a little harder or longer, but its only a slight difference. dehydorn is right, try to use just a single resistor. Also I soldered everything together just to keep things clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securinu Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 probably 500 of them vey simple install. you need to ground the wire next to the feed wire and use the right resistor on the right loop wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
