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!
thanks so much, I did all that, dial on 7, blinking 8 times, I am afraid my cables are not propertly correct, according to the instructions, I only have to wire 4 cables negative , positive , and whites, , thanks for the links bro! , you guys awesome!
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!
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.
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
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?
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
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. But I'm struggling to find where the chart is saying what programming version should be selected for my assembly. Any idea where I could find that info? The Pac website lacks my vehicle. Otherwise your video is very helpful thank you.
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.
Great video thanks! I have to ask though, is it necessary to cut factory wires? Couldn't you find the corresponding wires on the "metra" harness? Or will those pins be blank?
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 ?
I followed the steps and it works great!! But after a few minutes goes by it looses programming and the buttons don’t work properly.. do I have a faulty module?????
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
If the steering wheel uses the same button for voice activation and to answer calls, will the PAC be able to program both functions into the same button?
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
It's not an AUX cable, that 3.5mm cable plugs in to the back of the head unit and sends all the remote signals from the box after they arrive from the steering wheel controls.
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?
I have install a Pioneer sph-da120 in my car, but i ain't got the multifunction steering wheel. Can you recommend any universal wireless remote control, and maybe how it's setup
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.
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.
Got a 2003 H2 installing an aftermarket Autofather CD DVD Stereo with steering wheel control etc. Using a PAC RP5 GM-11 interface and wiring harness adapter. Problem is the new Headunit harness has a Grey SW1 wire a Green SWC2 wire and a SWC black wire BUT the PAC has only a 3.5 mm jack option vs 1 Blue/Yellow wire. How do I connect this setup???
So, total noob... there are actually two black wires (ground) coming out of the PAC adapter. Do both of those get tied into the aftermarket stereo harness?? Or, does one go to the stereo harness and one to the car-side harness? One to the chassis??
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
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?
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.
Hi Very nice Video. What interface is used for a Mazda 3 2013 i Touring. no Bose System A Kenwood DDX394 stereo will be installed. The steering wheel only have a Volume Control, Track change, Mode and Mute bottom. SWI - X or SWI - RC . Thanks
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.
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?
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.
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.
I wanna install this device on a 03 lexus ls430, pionner deh80prs But the online instructions only does 2008-2010 ls430 Is this not the right adaptor ?
Hey I just installed this in my 2007 ford freestyle with a pioneer unit. I followed the program procedure but the mute button does “att-“ shuts off the eq on the unit so it just goes to like half volume. Every other button works perfect. Any ideas? I did notice the unit has a mute wire which I don’t have wired to anything. Thanks, I know this is old video. Lol
Hi I have a pioneer 4200nex installed in my 2018 Nissan Sentra I also have axxesw1 installed also a resistor my steering wheel controls still don’t work any suggestions
Hi , I have a 2004 Tahoe and a swi-pc connecting to a power acoustik radio and the sound shop said they couldn't install it my radio isn't a option what do I tell the install everything is working on my radio just not my steering control
I'm trying to install this kit on a 2005 Prius, non-nav/non JBL. I cannot get my steering controls to work, except for the track up button. I have the 20 pin harness, and connected the wires mentioned properly. Any idea what could be wrong?
140VM you connected the white, white black and both blacks and the red www.pac-audio.com/SWI/SWIAppGuide.aspx?appguideid=301&swiModel=Prius&swiYear=2005&swiMake=Toyota&swiProduct=SWI-RC&swiRadioManu=Pioneer&swiOptions=
Hi Dean. I noticed in this video you wired the PAC interface to the factory harness. Would it be possible to add this interface without splicing into the factory harness? Would wiring the interface into the "3rd party" wiring harness work instead? For my stereo I'll be using a Metra 70-1729 and it asks me to ground out pin 16 on the factory harness. Would I be able to this by wiring my 3rd party harness to the ground (black)? Great Videos. Thanks in advance!
Hi Dean, Happy 4th! I have a 2013 Honda Fit Sport. My mistake on the original post; instructions are to ground pin 5 and connect the interface to pin 16 (www.metraonline.com/files/aswc/ASWC-1_INST_15.pdf).
+Duncan Kim hi there, what we like to do if the wires are in the radio plug is grab a second plug. We then pull out some pin and re pin them in the harness we are going to use.
Great video , great lighting and audio , I was a little scared of doing his but not no more , lol thanks . Let me know if you have a video for eliminating factory amp and replacing it with an after market amp (I have a 02 Pontiac Aztec 14 speaker setup )
Great Video, I installed this unit in my 1987 Chrysler Conquest TSI and all the SW buttons work except for the volume up will only work once when you turn the key on, the guys at PAC has been helping me for 2 months with no luck. Have you or anyone here run into this issue or have a fix? Thanks in advance.
NM, I figured it out! Hopefully took out the correct wires ;) LOL As long as the instructions are right I think I'm ok...haha... "The other wires on the SWI-RC, green, yellow, orange and blue wires are not used for your Nissan Titan."
I was able to use a small flat head...all though I have a pick tool...but the flat head was right in front of me. Hey, big time props on actually soldering! I'm a DIY'er but I own a business, I do automotive paint, so I take stuff apart all the time, and I've been installing my own stereo stuff for over 25 years....and the reason I install the stuff myself is BECAUSE I want it soldered and heat shrunk! (Had a nice Denon CD player get fried many moons ago from one of those stupid tap in connectors!)
Five Star Car Stereo Got my PAC installed this evening, everything went off without a hitch. Programmed correctly the first try! ;) I also installed a backup camera. I tested it, it was working, (head unit has an option to switch to camera.) Then i hooked it to reverse wire and it wouldn't work. I'm thinking to myself... "what the heck, I had it working ." By now it's getting late...then I realize the plug where I tapped into reverse I had not plugged back in...LOL...open circuit I guess. Working now. Thank God for UA-cam. Sure makes things easier than back in the day!!! Thanks again for the video...now I have to get my amps installed and get rid of factory speakers. I have 2 ScanSpeak 7" 4531's I'm putting in the doors and the smaller Vifa XT's I'll upgrade to the Scan Speak D3004's later.
Kevin oconnell you can program any button to do any feature. So for example if you want track up ( factory button) to answer calls, you just program it for that.
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.
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!

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.
thanks so much, I did all that, dial on 7, blinking 8 times, I am afraid my cables are not propertly correct, according to the instructions, I only have to wire 4 cables negative , positive , and whites, , thanks for the links bro! , you guys awesome!

This video made this install so much easier. Directions on the product need some TLC.
Nice video! And you are VERY quick with your hands. I was just following along saying... "I would've dropped that... not caught that... and that..."
Brian Gantick thank you

Great video thanks! I have to ask though, is it necessary to cut factory wires? Couldn't you find the corresponding wires on the "metra" harness? Or will those pins be blank?
The pins are usually blank or in the case of this install in a totally different plug.

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
If the steering wheel uses the same button for voice activation and to answer calls, will the PAC be able to program both functions into the same button?
You'll most likely have to pick which function is more important to you or re-route one of them to another button.
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
Why can't you connect the rest of the wires to the aftermarket connecting harness? Does it have to be the factory harness?
thank you ,really helpful video .worked like a charm after these instructions.
+disto573 thank you
Where did you plug the AUX cable from the pac into?
It's not an AUX cable, that 3.5mm cable plugs in to the back of the head unit and sends all the remote signals from the box after they arrive from the steering wheel controls.
My jvc doesn't have 3.5mm input . Would this still work for me.
What if you buy one already pre harnessed ? Do you still need to program it?
I have a 13 tacoma access cab, and android phone does that radio also support android auto, big fan of pioneer and you as well.
Man, this helped a lot!!

NM, I figured it out! Hopefully took out the correct wires ;) LOL As long as the instructions are right I think I'm ok...haha...
"The other wires on the SWI-RC, green, yellow, orange and blue wires are not used for your Nissan Titan."
+ClausenLT yes it was just a pick tool
I was able to use a small flat head...all though I have a pick tool...but the flat head was right in front of me.
Hey, big time props on actually soldering! I'm a DIY'er but I own a business, I do automotive paint, so I take stuff apart all the time, and I've been installing my own stereo stuff for over 25 years....and the reason I install the stuff myself is BECAUSE I want it soldered and heat shrunk! (Had a nice Denon CD player get fried many moons ago from one of those stupid tap in connectors!)
ClausenLT ouch that would have sucked. We sold Denon back in the day. Nice sounding stuff
Five Star Car Stereo Got my PAC installed this evening, everything went off without a hitch. Programmed correctly the first try! ;)
I also installed a backup camera. I tested it, it was working, (head unit has an option to switch to camera.) Then i hooked it to reverse wire and it wouldn't work. I'm thinking to myself... "what the heck, I had it working ." By now it's getting late...then I realize the plug where I tapped into reverse I had not plugged back in...LOL...open circuit I guess. Working now.
Thank God for UA-cam. Sure makes things easier than back in the day!!!
Thanks again for the video...now I have to get my amps installed and get rid of factory speakers. I have 2 ScanSpeak 7" 4531's I'm putting in the doors and the smaller Vifa XT's I'll upgrade to the Scan Speak D3004's later.
Will it work with android radio?
Awesome video, you can tell you’ve been doing this for a long time. However what were the resistors for? Did I miss that part?
They are required for certain vehicle/stereo combinations, the instructions detail when and where to use them.
The black wire splits. Do you use both or just one?
Nevermind. I see where you use both.
yall are the best..
+Daniel Grobe thank you
I have a Chrysler 300c and I have a radio it doesn't have the plug for wheel control radio how I plug that in thank you for your help
Unfortunately your probably going to have use a different radio that has steering wheel controls option plug on the back of it.
is it possible to get Bluetooth controls on a car that doesn't have it thank you for your time
Kevin oconnell you can program any button to do any feature. So for example if you want track up ( factory button) to answer calls, you just program it for that.
Would i need this for 2012 maxima will be buying the nex 5200 i wanna keep the factory buttons on the steering wheel
Yes you will need one of these.
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.
