Dawg, same boat as you. I have and 07 Silverado and a D3. The first one I got from Crutchfield was defective and did not program at all. The second one worked perfectly (with help from this site) but then I started having problems with it again. The volume buttons are the first to go, then it won't work at all. I reprogrammed it and it worked perfectly again. I saw on another thread where it might have something to do with the GM LAN harness I am using from Metra. I know it is a pain in the ass though. I wish there was another option out there.

After verifying all of my wiring, and calling PAC, they suggested I call Crutchfield for a replacement. Got the replacement last week, and put it in yesterday. Worked immediately and I was able to successfully program all of my buttons. Thank you guys for all of your help. Now all I have left to do is to install the overhead flip down screen. Uggh, scary.

Well, I think I have everything hooked in correctly. I definitely can get it into program mode and it behaves correctly when I shut down- it no longer makes it jump around the channels like it was doing before. However, I can't get it to finish programming. It will accept three buttons, then flash like it is done with the setup. So I can't finish with all my buttons and after it finishes, nothing works on the SWC. I am using program "1". This is really frustrating. Thanks for any more help.

Thanks Marc- one more question- do you know what wire I connect to from the steering wheel controls? It is like it was never seeing the inputs from the buttons. Thank you guys again for your help.

The truck has the retained accessory power, and when I shut it off, if it is on the radio mode it scans through my presets over and over very randomly. If it is on DVD then it will skip back and forth between scenes. Sitting at my sons football practice the other day I got aggravated with it and pulled everything loose. It is still connected by the cable going into the unit but sitting on my trans hump.

Guys, I would appreciate it if you guys could tell me exactly what wires I need to use to put the adapter in. It is not hooked up properly and is causing weird problems. I really appreciate it.

I will be glad to. Here is a crappy phone pic.

Wow, thanks for all the replies. I do have the steering wheel control adapter. And that does make sense, because I could never get it programmed. It's like it was not seeing anything coming from the steering wheel buttons when we tried to program it.We left the next day after my install and I didn't have time to troubleshoot it, so I just bundled it up and tucked it under the dash for later. I will try to check it tonight. Again, thank you guys very much for all the help, especially since I just noticed I posted it in the wrong section.

I ran a search and couldn't find anything on this. Maybe I didn't have the right word combo or whatever so if somebody could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. When I turn my truck off, the radio will just scan through my presets non stop. So when I turn my truck back on, it will be on a different preset. Why is it doing this? What is the purpose? Sounds petty I know but it is kind of a pain. Thanks for your help. It is installed in a NBS 2007 Chevy 2500.
