the pac unit i got (new version1.6. only allows my volume to go up and down but wont let me skip tracks any feedback on this?

I would first think it's just installation issue...

Have you tried reprogramming it?

What vehicle?

Certainly an install or programing issue.

tried 2 units and reprogrammed multiple times and only could get the volume to work the whole time and track wouldnt work

Well there is clearly an issue somewhere. As long as the SWI-PS is showing compatible with your vehicle, it should work without problem. What kind of vehicle do you have?

i have a 2006 g35 coupe

The buttons on mine work better than expected in my BMW X5. PAC said that the R/T button on the steering wheel wouldn't work, but in fact it's been programmed so that it switched between inputs...much faster than hitting Mode, then having to touch the screen a couple of times just to change inputs. I was wondering though...can I somehow lockout AM from being in the rotation? I'd like it to go like DVD, Nav, FM, SD, iPod and completely skip over AM.

The only problem I have w/ my PAC is that the voume buttons act funny. Like if I hit it once, the reaction is slow, and if I hold onto it for longer than a second or so, the volume just shoots up way to fast, sometimes going way louder than I would ever want it to.

No.

Fixed my volume issue, now only if hitting the radio tuner buttons would go through presets instead of tuning the radio incriments.

It will but you will need to reprogram it for that specific function. However, a different set of buttons will need to be used from the ones you use for track skip or you will loose that feature when you reprogram it for radio presets.

So, it's either:

Skip tracks on the CD, go through the .2 increments on the radio

or,

No skipping tracks on the CD, go through the presets on the radio

No?

Exactly. Unless you have buttons for both functions to program to.

This is what I did... being that I rarely track down.... or have the need to go backwards with the presets...

Good idea! My PAC came preprogrammed to my X since I bought the whole setup from another X owner, so I'll have to go look into how to do that. I have an R/T button that scrolls through the inputs that either works or doesn't for others, so I'm afraid of screwing that up and losing that though.
