Installation Instructions  
Pacific Accessory Corporation  
Before You Start  
A. Is this product compatible with the vehicle?  
audio.com for an updated list of compatible vehicles.  
B. Is this product compatible with the head unit?  
• Ensure that the new head unit is capable of being operated with a remote control, and that it responds to the  
remote control provided with it.  
• The head unit must accept a remote control with the common carrier frequency range of 38 – 40Khz in order to  
work with the SWI-X.  
Note: Certain head units will not work with the SWI-X. See Appendix B - Known Incompatible Aftermarket Head  
Units (page 7).  
C. Prepare for the installation.  
• If possible, install the SWI-X 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-X is working  
properly.  
• Plan a general installation location for both the SWI-X LED and the control body. Keep in mind that the supplied  
wire harness is two feet long, and the IR harness is four feet long.  
• Use a multimeter or approved measuring device for checking vehicle circuits.

end of the four-foot wire) close to the head unit and test  
each function of the steering wheel controls. The right

Final Installation  
Mount the SWI-X infrared emitter within line of sight of the  
head unit, testing continuously to ensure that it will operate  
from the chosen position. The LED can be installed in the  
center console or overhead console. Install the LED using the  
supplied black mounting bezel attached to the LED. Drill a  
hole just big enough for the bezel to snap into place, but not  
too big for it to fall through. Once the hole is drilled, insert the  
LED from behind through the hole and snap bezel onto the  
LED. Snap bezel with LED into hole.Complete the head unit  
and SWI-X module installation.

Appendix D: Resistor Kit  
Some vehicles have a seperate 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-  
X to these resistors. On the Harley Davidson, one button can be connected directly to the SWI-X.

Troubleshooting Guide  
No power / won’t go into programming mode:  
• Check Red wire connection and fuse. Make sure INTERFACE is connected to switched 12V+.  
• Make sure vehicle ignition is on.  
Won’t program radio commands:  
• Make sure version number and IR Extended mode setting are programmed before attempting to program radio commands. The  
ULJKWꢀ/('ꢀRIꢀWKHꢀ,17(5)$&(ꢀZLOOꢀÀDVKꢀWKHꢀSURJUDPPHGꢀYHUVLRQꢀQXPEHUꢀZKHQꢀSRZHUꢀLVꢀDSSOLHGꢅ  
Steering wheel controls won’t operate new head unit  
• Make sure you have programmed the correct version number and IR Extended mode setting.  
• Make sure you’ve followed the programming instructions precisely, noting each exception and time sequence. Repeat if neces-  
sary.  
• Place the INTERFACE emitter within range of the new head unit.  
To replace a broken IR emitter:  
Replace with standard IR emitter (i.e. Radio Shack part number 276-143). Long lead of IR emitter goes to INTERFACE’s emitter  
Red wire and short lead goes to INTERFACE’s black wire)  
The INTERFACE controls the stereo immediately without pressing any buttons on the steering wheel:  
‡ꢀ'XULQJꢀSURJUDPPLQJꢆꢀSUHVVꢀWKHꢀEXWWRQVꢀRQꢀWKHꢀVWHHULQJꢀZKHHOꢀ¿UPO\ꢀXQWLOꢀWKHꢀOHIWꢀ/('ꢀWXUQVꢀRIIꢅꢀ5HOHDVLQJꢀWKHꢀEXWWRQꢀWRRꢀHDUO\ꢀꢀ  
will cause the INTERFACE to send out a signal even when no buttons are pressed.  
During programming, the right LED turns off and goes to the left LED without pressing a button on the wireless remote:  
‡ꢀ7XUQꢀRIIꢀÀXRUHVFHQWꢀGURSOLJKWVꢀRUꢀVKRSꢀOLJKWVꢀGXULQJꢀSURJUDPPLQJꢅ  
• Make sure the INTERFACE’s IR Receiver is not in direct sunlight.  
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.  
When pressing and holding down the volume button on the steering wheel, the volume or track on the radio only goes up or  
down by one or is very slow. May also relate to other functions.  
• Depending on some vehicles, some stereos may not respond very well. Try programming the interface for ‘Extended IR Mode’.  
This may or may not help in response from the stereo.  
For mostly GM vehicles, when going into radio programming the left LED turns off and goes to the right LED without press-  
ing the steering wheel buttons.  
• If the SWC wire in the vehicle’s steering wheel column is cut in half, do not cut the brown loop wire on the interface.  
When ever I program a new button the previous button does not work.  
You must program all buttons during programming. If you try to program another button, all previous button will be erased. You  
will have to relearn all previous buttons again.  
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.
