rockn_m1 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I seem to be having a problem with my Z1 and I think the PAC-SWIPS . When I turn the key off it changes the radio station. Can anyone help me with my problem? The unit is installed in a 2003 Tahoe using the Pac-bose wiring harness. Any help in how to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated. Does this even have anything to do with the SWIPS and its power supply? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dawgbone Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I've had all sorts of problems with the Swips... http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10642 funny thing is, after upgrading to a new/bigger drive an fresh image(same as before), I haven't had a single problem with it...knock on wood..

Xartni Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I was having all kinds of issues with mine, too (still have a few). What I did find was that if you program it with the engine on and it is a getting a strong, steady current, the programming seems to work much better. If I programmed it with just the ignition on, all kinds of weird things were happening. Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S.F.W. Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I heard the same thing about programming it with the engine on. I have SWI-Ps on order to Replace my Swi-X, which is giving me fits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dawgbone Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Mine is hosed again...Works sometimes, but more often than not, it doesn't....or more often than that, it does the wrong functions for the buttons I have programmed. Nothing I've done has helped. Guess I'm just fortunate to have it works when it wants to. nutzzz: what vehicles are you installing them in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
