A. Is this product compatible with the vehicle?
• Please visit http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/swixprogramming.asp for the most current list of
compatible vehicles.
B. Prepare for the installation.
• If possible, install the SWI-RC while you are installing the new head unit. Keep in mind you may need to plug in the
factory stereo to locate certain wires; therefore do not complete the head unit installation until the SWI-RC is work-
ing properly.
• Plan a general installation location for both the SWI-RC plug and the control body. Keep in mind that the supplied
wire harness is two feet long, and the 1/8" plug harness is three feet long.
• Use a multimeter or approved measuring device for checking vehicle circuits.
