Steering Remote Ready Radios  
Installation Instructions  
Pacific Accessory Corporation  
Before You Start  
A. Is this product compatible with the vehicle?  
• See application guide (separate sheet) for listing of vehicles and connection information. If not, 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-JACK 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-JACK is  
working properly.  
• Plan a general installation location for both the SWI-JACK plug and the control body. Keep in mind that the sup-  
plied 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.

remote control input  
For Alpine, Clarion JVC, or Valor radios, connect the SWI-JACK 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 for Kenwood, gray for OEM) of radio.  
Blaupunkt radios with optional wireless remote inputs are supported by the SWI-JACK, 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-JACK'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.

Programming the SWI-JACK to Control the Head Unit (cont.)  
The SWI-JACK must be programmed in the specific order shown in the chart below. If a function is not needed, it may be skipped by  
pressing the Program/Mode button 1 time per function in its place. The LED will flash once (indicating the function has been skipped)  
and then illuminate, waiting for the next button to be pressed. Adjust the Radio Select switch on the side of the SWI-JACK according to  
the chart. Alpine = 1, JVC = 2, Kenwood = 3, Clarion = 4, Valor = 5, OEM = 6 and Blaupunkt = 7.

Programming the SWI-JACK to Control the Head Unit (cont.)  
Example 1: Alpine Radio - If you have a vehicle with only 3 functions and you want to program Volume Up, Volume Down and Source. Do  
Step 21 twice, the first time for Volume Up, the second time for Volume Down. Do Step 23 three times to skip Mute, Preset Up and  
Preset Down. Do Step 21 to program Source. After all 3 buttons have been programmed, you will proceed to Step 24.  
Example 2: JVC Radio - If you have a vehicle with only 4 function and you want to program Volume Up, Volume Down, Source and Band. Do  
Step 21 twice for Volume Up and Volume Down. Do Step 23 two times to skip Mute and Preset Up. Do Step 21 to program Source.  
Do Step 23 three times to skip Seek Up, Seek Down and Select. Do Step 21 once to program Band. After all 4 buttons have been  
programmed, you will proceed to Step 24.

Appendix B: Resistor Kit  
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-  
JACK to these resistors. On the Harley Davidson, one button can be connected directly to the SWI-JACK.

Troubleshooting Guide  
My Vehicle is not listed in the Identification and Connection Chart:  
Please visit http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/swixprogramming.asp for the most up to date listing of compatible ve-  
hicles.  
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 firmly UNTIL the left LED turns off. Releasing the button too early will cause the INTER-  
FACE to send out a signal even when no buttons are pressed.  
I am using Version # ꢂ, 8, 9 or ꢀꢀ and the LED goes out after I push the program button and before I push a SWC button:  
Remove any resistors connected to the White INTERFACE wire and ground; then try the program button again.  
If voltage on the INTERFACE's White wire is LESS THAN 4.60v with the key on you need to visit http://www.pac-audio.com/ bulletins/  
swicalculator.htm. Here you will find a SWI Calculator. When measuring SWC resistance the INTERFACE’s White wire cannot be connected to the  
vehicle.  
Detach the White Interface wire from the vehicle. Does the LED now stay on when the program button is now pressed?  
If YES: Visit http://www.pac-audio.com/bulletins/swicalculator.htm and use the SWI Calculator.  
if NO: The interface needs to be replaced.  
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 replacement 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.  
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.  
When programming the SWC buttons, it takes ꢃ 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 #11.  
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  
[email protected] so that we may add the information to the instructions.
