INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR PART RFASWC
The RFASWC is designed for adding steering wheel controls to vehicles
that do not have OE steering wheel controls installed. With Aftermarket
radio's with steering wheel control outputs the RFASWC is able to
give the driver control of their aftermarket radio without taking their
hands off the steering wheel allowing you to maintain the most popular
feature your aftermarket radio has to offer. The RFASWC will come
pre-programmed with your standard commands, volume up, volume
down, seeks up, seek down, and source. In addition you will be able to
mount the RFASWC anywhere on the steering wheel and reprogram
