Product Description
You want to install a Pioneer or Sony stereo in your vehicle, but you hate to give up the convenience of your factory steering wheel radio controls? No problem. PAC's SWI-PS interface allows you to use the steering wheel controls in a wide variety of vehicles to command your new Pioneer or Sony radio.Installation is straightforward just connect a few wires, only 3 wires in many cars. The direct connection to the stereo means there's no need for an infrared emitter, allowing the SWI-PS to function even in bright sunlight. Step-by-step LED confirmation makes programming easy. Once connected, the SWI-PS' failsafe memory will learn up to 9 stereo functions, retaining them even if battery power is interrupted. Dimensions: 3-5/84"W x 1"H x 1-9/16"D.SWI&PS - PAC Steering wheel control interface for Pioneer and Sony NEW Version 1.6.8 with Bluetooth Review
This steering wheel remote interface worked perfectly with my Pioneer AVIC X930BT and 2002 Ford Explorer. The hook-ups are simple (assuming you have some experience with automotive wiring). White wire to the steering wheel lead, (note, that is for my particular vehicle, your car could be different), black wire to ground, red wire to 12V+, plug the connector into the Pioneer and the wiring is done. Don't even bother with the generic directions that come with the unit, you'll just get confused. Go right to the PAC website and enter your vehicle. You'll get specific instructions for your make, model and year. They will even tell you where to find the steering wheel lead. I suggest you do this before you buy the unit and see if you can understand them. If you can, then you qualify to install the unit yourself.As others have said, the only thing tricky is the programming. Again, the instructions on the website are detailed and accurate. The hard part is that there is a sort of choreography required to do the programming. You have to go through all 13 possible functions, in order, whether you use that function or not. If you mess one up, you have to start over. It sounds worse than it is. After two or three false starts (at least for me) you'll get the rhythm and it will go like clockwork. My biggest problem is that the programming button on the unit itself is a little small and recessed and my big fat man fingers had trouble pushing it. I ended up using the eraser end of a pencil.
Pros: Does what it says, works flawlessly, great web support
Cons: Limited to nitpicks: small programming button, tricky programming method
