The way I understand it is that all of the buttons on the steering wheel controls actual send some kind of code through 1 wire. The problem is that all the manufacturers have there own code for each of the buttons. The PAC SWI converts the code to work with your after market unit, whatever it may be.

I tried to hook up my Eclipse HU directly to the factory steering wheel controls and pressing up volume would change inputs and channel down would turn up the volume. That kind of thing.
