snoodge Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Is this possible, I used search and didnt find anything. I just want to make the volume up and down and track back and forth to work. Anybody done this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MegaMan X Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Is this possible, I used search and didnt find anything. I just want to make the volume up and down and track back and forth to work. Anybody done this? Yes it's possible, you need to buy a PAC SWI-PS controller in order to use the steering wheel controls with your new headunit. You also need to buy (1) 150oHm resistor from radioshack for 99 cents. Connect pin 6 wire to ground. Connect pin 7 to the INTERFACE's White wire. Connect one end of a 150 ohm resistor to pin 8, then connect the other end of the resistor to the INTERFACE's white wire. So basically you will have two wires, one with a resistor in series, connected to the INTERFACE's White wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digon Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Thanks for that i also to need this, I figured it can be done since the new rs6 comes with a Avic f900bt... Would you be able to post pics of the wiring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MegaMan X Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 instructions from pac: http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogrammin ... les&ID=386 for the resistor, on the white interface wire from the pac controller, you would splice in half, with 1 half connected directly to pin7 i believe, and you would solder the resistor to the other half of the white interface wire before connecting it to pin 8. the black wire from the pac controller connects to pin 6 black wire resistors look like this: here are my home made "paint" instructions: toyota steering wheel harness pin layout: Pre-installation: Connect pin 6 wire to ground. Connect pin 7 to the INTERFACE's White wire. Connect one end of a 150 ohm resistor to pin 8, then connect the other end of the resistor to the INTERFACE's white wire. So basically you will have two wires, one with a resistor in series, connected to the INTERFACE's White wire. If the vehicle has Phone options on the steering wheel and you want to use them to control the radio, please use a 560 ohm resistor instead of the 150 ohm resistor indicated. Map/Info button is not used. Installation The SWI-PS has to be programmed for version # 8. 1. Press and hold the Program Button on the SWI-PS while turning on the vehicle to the accessory position. The LED will turn on. 2. Release the Program Button and the LED will turn off. 3. Press the Program Button 8 times. Each time you press and release the Program Button, the LED will turn on and off. Once you press the Program Button 8 times, wait for 3 seconds. The LED will flash 8 times indicating it is programmed for version 8. If it flashes the wrong version number, you will have to start all over at step 1 above in this section. Turn the key off. 4. Once you have programmed the correct version number, you will not have to do these steps again. If you need to reprogram the steering wheel control, you can go directly to the next section. Program Instructions 1. Turn the key to the accessory position (you do not need to hold the Program Button at this time). The LED will flash 8 times. This indicates it is programmed for version 8. 2. Press the Program Button until the LED turns on, then release the button (This will erase all previous learned steering wheel control functions). The SWI-PS is now ready to learn a command from the steering wheel. 3. The SWI-PS must be programmed in the specific order shown in the chart below. THIS IS FOR SCION XB2, and TC specifically 1)Volume Up 2)Volume Down 3)Mute (you don't have one, SO press the program button on pac) 4)Track Up/ Seek Up 5)Track Down/ Seek Down 6)Source (which is your "Mode" Button) 4. With the LED on, press your steering wheel button until the light goes out and hold for one second more. 5. Release and the LED should come back on. If it does not please double check all connections and verify for correct version programming. 6. Repeat step 4 and 5 to program additional steering wheel buttons in the order corresponding to the chart above for your SWI interface. 7. If you come across a command in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press the Program Button on the side of the SWI interface. 8. The LED will flash once rapidly and then stay on confirming that you have successfully skipped that command and are ready for the next button. 9. When you are done programming all the buttons, wait for about 7 seconds. The LED will flash 3 times indicating it is done programming. The LED will then flash 8 times indicating the version number. Testing the SWI-PS 1.Connect the plug to back of radio's steering wheel input jack or harness. 2. With the vehicle on, press a steering wheel button to control the stereo. The SWI-PS should control the aftermarket stereo with the function you taught it. Test all other buttons. 3. If the interface does not control the radio as the steering wheel indicates, the buttons were either pressed in the wrong order or a step was not skipped properly. Return to category 7 and reprogram. 4. Make sure all unused wires are isolated separately. 5. After all commands are verified to work properly, secure the SWI interface so that tension will not pull either of the connectors loose or apart. 6. That's it! Enjoy!

digon Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Thats awesome thanks so much !! perfect I am going to install this today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digon Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 This is also interesting since the pac comes with allot of different wires and you are just connecting 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
