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.aspfor 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.

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.
