PAC SWI-X Steering wheel control interface — use your factory steering wheel controls with an aftermarket stereo

What does a steering wheel audio control adapter do?

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.

Installation Note: Click here or call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to see if the SWI-X adapter is compatible with your vehicle.

You want to install a non-factory replacement radio in your vehicle, but you hate to give up the convenience of your factory steering wheel radio controls. PAC's SWI-X interface allows you to connect your steering wheel controls in a wide variety of vehicles to almost any aftermarket stereo with wireless remote capability.

Installation is straightforward, with step-by-step LED confirmation. The SWI-X uses an infrared beam to communicate with your stereo. Once connected, the adapter's memory will learn up to 12 functions from your receiver's wireless remote, retaining them even if battery power is interrupted. Dimensions: 3-3/4"W x 1-1/16"H x 1-9/16"D. Warranty: 1 year.

Important Note: You'll want to make sure that your stereo and your vehicle are both compatible. If you have no car audio installation experience, you should consider professional installation. The SWI-X uses an infrared beam to communicate with your stereo's remote eye — check "Hands-on Research" for a list of incompatible remote controls or call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to see if this adapter is compatible with your stereo.
