 Great Steering Wheel Control Replacement July 18, 2007
moleman (Alpharetta, GA)
This unit works great. 3 wires to hook up, and your factory steering wheel controls work flawlessly with your after market head unit. The only real downside to this unit is programming. Everything has to be programmed in one pass. There is no way to change the action of a single button. There is also the problem of changing the programming after you've installed the unit. Most likely you will want to mount it behind the radio. The problem comes when you want to reprogram. You have to take everything apart to get to it again. The unit works great. Just make sure you plan ahead, and make sure you have everything the way you want it before you finish the install.
Control any stereo May 13, 2007

I bought the PAC Swi-X to run an aftermarket stereo on my Harley Davidson Electraglide. The Swi-X gives me the versatility to run almost any aftermarket radio on the market using infra-red remotes, and allow me the freedom to choose which commands I want to assign to the handlebar mounted switches.
The Swi-X is nothing more than a "learning" remote control, with a remote located infra-red transmitter. You wire it in, then teach it the commands from the hand held remote that comes with the aftermarket stereo.
The hardest part is wiring the resistors into the stock wiring harness. If you are not comfortable with a soldering gun/pen and 12 volt electrics, pay someone else to do it. I gave it four out of five stars only because the wiring is not for everyone.
PAC SWIX Does exactly what it says, but not for a novice install. May 12, 2007

The Pac Swix interfaced with my JVC head unit brilliantly. It was a little tedious to program, but I got it the second time around. As far as a delay goes, it's not really a constant delay. Sometimes you press the button and get an immediate response and sometimes you need to press the button once more because of a non responsive press. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is because there is a difference between the stock headunit's response and the aftermarket's. It really does give you flexibility as far as programming goes since you can assign a button a function of your choice. Simple three wire hookup to my Mercury was nice too. I say if you like your steering wheel controls and you have a JVC, Alpine, or other compatible unit, then you need this little box for your install.
