Many people aren't thrilled with the sound of their car's factory radio, but don't want to replace it because they'll lose those convenient audio controls on the steering wheel. For most vehicles, you can purchase an adapter that allows you to use those controls to run a new car stereo, so now you can have great sound and convenience too. Even cooler, if your new stereo has iPod controls, you can use your steering wheel controls to run your iPod.
You want to install an Alpine stereo in your vehicle, but you hate to give up the convenience of your factory steering wheel radio controls? No problem. PAC's SWI-ALP interface allows you to use the steering wheel controls in a wide variety of vehicles to command select Alpine radios.
Installation is straightforward — just connect a few wires, only 3 wires in many cars. The direct connection to the stereo means there's no need for an infrared emitter, allowing the SWI-ALP to function even in bright sunlight. Step-by-step LED confirmation makes programming easy. Once connected, the SWI-ALP's failsafe memory will learn up to 12 stereo functions, retaining them even if battery power is interrupted. Dimensions: 3-5/8"W x 1"H x 1-9/16"D. Warranty: 1 year.
Important Note: Please enter your vehicle information or call a Sales Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if this model is compatible with your vehicle. On some vehicles, you may need a voltmeter to locate the correct wires to connect to the SWI-ALP. The SWI-ALP is compatible with most 2005-up Alpine stereos that are steering remote-ready, but please call or e-mail us to confirm compatibility with your radio. This adapter is also compatible with select JVC and Kenwood radios with wired remote inputs.
