DIY : PAC Steering Wheel Interface - Page 2

kicker_jace · 12-04-2007, 09:32 PM

i checked it too but i didntany dual brand..

what i would do is call the company.. PAC

they should be able to tell u if it can work with dual..

but i thin the SWI-X should work coz its universal..

kicker_jace · 12-05-2007, 02:53 PM

good luck with it

not hard to install

and i just wanna give u a heads up that when u press it u have to hold it for an extra sec... its not like the oem that when u press it changes...

but its better than nothing... i like it and im happy with the volume + - track + - and the mute thats all i need

jackolee · 12-05-2007, 05:01 PM

lol true that....
im going to buy it but install it only after i change my steering wheel to the ctr one

kicker_jace · 12-05-2007, 11:32 PM

ooo cool.. where u getting the ctr steering wheel?

jackolee · 12-05-2007, 11:41 PM

forgot the site ill look it up later and give it to you

arrivalanche · 01-28-2008, 11:11 PM

just so you know the DIY is a little incorrect. the red wire has to be wire to a "SWITCHED" 12+ volts. if you do it to a constant like it shows it wont ever work. I had to help out a fellow member that couldn't figure out why it wouldnt program. other than that, good DIY!

drfters13 · 01-29-2008, 05:15 AM

the shop i went to told me that it wouldn't work because its been reprogrammed(sp) to many times? is that true?

sorry bout the wrong info.

i wired the red wire to a power source that is only on when the key is on I or II.

u can always program it a million times and it still should work as far as i know.

drfters13 · 01-29-2008, 02:24 PM

alright cool i'll have to try it myself i guess.. what a waste of 80 bucks for install.

SteveJ336 · 03-08-2008, 01:14 PM

I have this hooked up.. well the swi-ECL2 to my eclipse avn5510. I have all the wires connected.. grounded and i program the interface to 3. Then on the directions it says "ok the led will be on now and u can start programming the buttons" Problem is the led doesnt stay on.. i turn the ignition on and it flashes 3 times.. then after that it goes out. Any ideas?

rokudoo · 03-24-2008, 10:02 PM

2 questions:

Where exactly IS the stock Honda 20 pin connector? Is it near the stereo, or near the steering wheel?

Did you have to cut the brown and pink factory wires to do this?

Thanks!

This will come in handy...

skippy911 · 05-12-2008, 06:14 PM

Whats the resistor for? Also is there a delay when using it in conjunction with the avic d3? TIA

jpv027 · 05-28-2008, 12:58 AM

I am installing an avic-d3 with the swi-x. Will the delay be very noticeable? Is it worth buying the one that plugs in the back of the navi? I already have the swi-x, i had it sitting in my garage. Also, where is the best spot to mount the ir emitter, can i just put on dash kit next to navi?

Thanks for the DIY- VERY VERY helpful. Worked like a charm on my Pioneer DEH-P4000UB. There is a little lag like everyone stated, but it's not bad.
