Compatible with over 3000 vehicle models and all major radio brands featuring wired remote inputs, it supports analog and data SWC systems including CAN-Bus and LIN-Bus. Featuring easy DIP switch programming and customizable button functions, it also provides a 2 amp, 12V accessory output for stable integration. Compact and reliable, it’s the go-to solution for seamless steering wheel control retention. ## Description The aftermarket radio MUST be equipped with a wired remote input (3.5mm headphone style jack or Blue/Yellow wire) to be compatible (ex. a port or wire on the back of the radio labeled W/R, REM, Wired Remote, Remote, Rem Cont etc.). If the radio does not have a wired remote input then you will need to use the SWI-X.Not compatible with Kenwood models: KDC-X598, KDC-BT318U, KDCBT-758-HD, KDCBT-558U & KDC-X798. These models must be used with the SWI-CP5.Clarion model CZ500 does not support remote Bluetooth controlsJVC model numbers KW-NT1 and KW-NT3HDT do not support Presets Up and Down from steering wheel controlsPioneer AVIC-Fxxx radios do not interpret radio preset seeking commands. This is a limitation of the radio not the SWI-RC. There is no correction for this unless it comes from Pioneer.Pioneer radios with Bluetooth feature, the steering wheel controls will not adjust the phone call volume. The phone call volume must be adjusted on the face of the radio. This is a limitation of the radio not the SWI-RC. There is no correction for this unless it comes from Pioneer.Only the AVIC-Z110BT, Z120BT, Z130BT, Z140BH and the AVIC-X920BT, X930BT, X940BT will support the Voice Recognition function via wired remote input. Review: amazing adapter for a great price! - simple to install and allowed me to install alpine double din in my 17 Nissan frontier without a problem controls worked flawlessly and I was able to do the program manually. Its not too bulky and fits behind pretty much any radio. would recommend to anyone looking for affordable module that can adapt to multiple vehicles without spending a fortune. Review: 2003 Cadillac Deville Worked Perfectly - Installed in a 2003 Cadillac Deville. Coupled with PAC OS2-GM32X Retains factory on star and using existing amp. The factory system is only 2 channels. Hence no fade option on factory radio. So you only have 2 channel wires on the OS2-GM32X device. All speakers worked perfectly. The door chime I guess came from factory radio as it comes from this device now. Paired with a PAC SWI-RC-1 retained steering wheel controls. Picture shows correct dip switch settings when used with OS2-GM32X. Note the longer dip switches are what makes it communicate with car. The 4 dip switches depends on your aftermarket radio. No wiring needed just plug the SWI-RC-1 into the OS2-GM32X and the 3.5 mm plug into aftermarket radio. The picture of the dip switches are only when used with the OS2-GM32X. Lastly - I did not have the Bose system. ## Features - Fast and easy steering wheel control retention for over 3000 vehicles with the PAC SWI-RC-1 - Quick and easy pre-programmed button function by DIP switch selection - Works on Analog (resistive) and Data SWC systems - For vehicles with CAN-Bus, GMLAN, CLASS II, LIN-Bus, I-BUS, or analog SWC - Supports classic, SWI-RC style button programming - Customizable button functions (short press/long press/button reassignment) - Provides 2 amp, 12volt accessory output (CAN-Bus, LAN and Class II applications) - Compatible with all late model brands of radios with 3.5mm or two wire connections ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004HKBY8G | | Batteries | 1 12V batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,358 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #8 in Automotive Replacement Radio Electrical Accessories | | Brand | PAC | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (3,659) | | Date First Available | December 30, 2010 | | Exterior | Smooth | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 3.52 ounces | | Item model number | SWI-RC-1 | | Manufacturer | pac | | Manufacturer Part Number | SWI-RC-1 | | Model | SWI-RC | | Product Dimensions | 1 x 3 x 1 inches | | Special Features | Wireless | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PAC - **Color:** Blue - **Item Weight:** 0.1 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![PAC SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface Designed for All Major Radio Brands, Universal Interface SWI-RC1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FfMuaZyBL.jpg) ![PAC SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface Designed for All Major Radio Brands, Universal Interface SWI-RC1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719VlSUahUL.jpg) ![PAC SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface Designed for All Major Radio Brands, Universal Interface SWI-RC1 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bc1eG2b+L.jpg) ![PAC SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface Designed for All Major Radio Brands, Universal Interface SWI-RC1 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EgRnP08LL.jpg) ![PAC SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface Designed for All Major Radio Brands, Universal Interface SWI-RC1 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vvGej24XL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it work with Pioneer AVH-X4500BT 2-DIN on a 2011 VW Jetta ?** A: Here's a link for the PAC website, http://tinyurl.com/q7ldvx6... You will also need the C2R-VW2 to use with it, http://tinyurl.com/ocm4253... The Axxess Metra ASWC-1, http://tinyurl.com/ojabpey, would probably be a better fit for your car with nothing else to buy and cheaper than the two PAC products. **Q: Trabaja para Jeep Wrangler 2013 ?** A: Si le sirve **Q: Does this fit a Toyota Sienna 2009 and boss radio?** A: Not instructions for boss radio **Q: How much lag time is there, if any, in the controls after installing this (compared to OEM)? And does anyone know if that is Head Unit dependent?** A: When it works there is no lag time what so ever, it works like one. I've had several issues with the unit itself but like I said when it works, it's awesome. I'm not sure if there could be a lag time depending on HU used. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing adapter for a great price! *by M***A on January 14, 2026* simple to install and allowed me to install alpine double din in my 17 Nissan frontier without a problem controls worked flawlessly and I was able to do the program manually.

I have some tips for people installing this. For the resistor: The 560 ohm resistor that you will be using ( from left to right) colored stripes are Green, Blue, Brown, Gold. The resistor can be installed either way (doesn't matter which end of the wire goes to which. You will be cutting the purple wire loop. The wire that is closest to the end of the plug will NOT be used. Simply tape it up using electric tape.The other purple wire that was cut, which is 2nd in line of the plug will be connected to one end of the resistor and then the other end of the resistor will be connected to the white/black wire (this wire is pretty much spliced into the white wire. They do this for easy to follow instructions). Programming the buttons are a little confusing in the instructions. Just fyi, I programmed mine to the exact name of the OEM steering wheel controls. After you program the version (i put those instructions below), you can pretty much start programming. For assurance, you can simply turn off your car, then put it back to ACCESSORY just to see if the version entered was correct. The first blinks should be 9 blinks for the 2006 Honda Pilot. After the blinks you can now enter the programming mode by pressing and releasing the programming button. The light SHOULD stay on. This means it is ready to learn (DO NOT press the program button unless you want to skip a function). If you wait too long, the LED will blink and then blink 9 times and it will end, so try to do this with a few seconds of each other. Here is the function list in order of the programming: Functions 1 Volume Up 2 Volume Down 3 Mute 4 Preset + 5 Preset - 6 Source 7 Track Up 8 Track Down 9 Band 10 Phone Menu 11 Answer Call 12 End Call 13 Voice Activation To program to factory specs like I did for the Pioneer head unit, press and hold the VOLUME UP button on steering wheel for 1 second, release, then move on to the next function by holding the VOLUME DOWN button for 1 second, release, I skipped the Mute by pressing the program button once, I skipped the Preset + button by pressing the program button once, I skipped the Preset - button by pressing the program button once, I pressed the MODE button for 1 second, release, I pressed the CH button for 1 second, release, then i skipped the rest by pressing the program button 6 times....basically to skip a function keep pressing the program button IN ORDER. Now the LED will blink, and then blink 9x. To test, just plug in the 3.5mm cord to the back of the Headunit. Mine was marked "W/R" for wireless remote. If one of the functions did not work, you will have to start all over. I turned off the key, unplugged the 3.5mm plug and started over because I missed a function. Please give my review a like if you found this helpful!!! Here is the FULL instructions from the site: Quick description before we start wiring the SWI-RC. INFO THAT FOLLOWS IS FOR OPTION BASE RADIO. The SWI-RC's wire color we are going to use is white. This is the white wire on the SWI-RC product, not the vehicle! The other wires on the SWI-RC product (green, yellow, orange and blue) are NOT used for your 2006 HONDA Pilot. This leaves you with a red, black and two loop wires. These wires will be discussed down below. Picture of the 2006 HONDA Pilot plug. HONDA20 The vehicle's factory harness connector is viewed from the pin side not wire side. Fig. 1 Connecting the SWI-RC's steering wheel control input wire to vehicle plug. Read the note in the chart below. Connect the SWI-RC's white wire to Pin 3 (green/red) of the above connector. Note ID#143 Connect the INTERFACE's white wire to Pin 3 (Green/Red) of the Honda20 connector. Connect Pin 11 (Brown) of the Honda20 connector to ground. Cut the purple loop then connect a 560 Ohm resistor to the second (inside) Purple wire, and connect the other end of resistor to the White wire. Insulate the first (outside edge) Purple wire as it will not be used. Connecting power and ground wires. BLACK WIRE: Connect the SWI-RC's black wire to chassis ground. This is usually a black wire on the aftermarket wire kit. RED WIRE: Connect the SWI-RC's red wire to a switched +12volt wire. This is usually a red wire on the aftermarket wire kit. Instructions for cutting or not cutting loop wires. Cut the purple loop wire in half and insulate both ends (unless stated different previously). The brown loop wire does NOT need to be cut (unless stated different previously). Setting the radio select rotary switch. The rotary switch needs to be set to position # 7 . Please note that it is very important to set the radio select switch before turning on the ignition to begin programming! Programming the SWI-RC with a version number. The SWI-RC has to be programmed for version #9. Press and hold the Program Button on the SWI-RC while turning on the vehicle to the accessory position. The LED will turn on. Release the Program Button and the LED will turn off. Press the Program Button 9 times. Each time you press and release the Program Button, the LED will turn on and off. Once you press the Program Button 9 times, wait for 3 seconds. The LED will flash 9 times indicating it is programmed for version 9. If it flashes the wrong version number, you will have to start all over at step 1 above in this section. Turn the key off. Once you have programmed the correct version number, you will not have to do these steps again. If you need to reprogram the steering wheel control, you can go directly to the next section. Programming the SWI-RC to learn steering wheel control functions. Turn the key to the accessory position (you do not need to hold the Program Button at this time). The LED will flash 9 times. This indicates it is programmed for version 9. Press the Program Button until the LED turns on, then release the button (This will erase all previous learned steering wheel control functions). The SWI-RC is now ready to learn a command from the steering wheel. The SWI-RC must be programmed in the specific order shown in the chart below. If a function is not needed, it may be skipped. Programming order for SWI-RC Pioneer 1 Volume Up 2 Volume Down 3 Mute 4 Preset + 5 Preset - 6 Source 7 Track Up 8 Track Down 9 Band 10 Phone Menu 11 Answer Call 12 End Call 13 Voice Activation With the LED on, press your steering wheel button until the light goes out and hold for one second more. Release and the LED should come back on. If it does not please double check all connections and verify for correct version programming. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to program additional steering wheel buttons in the order corresponding to the chart above for your SWI interface. If you come across a command in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press the Program Button on the side of the SWI interface. The LED will flash once rapidly and then stay on confirming that you have successfully skipped that command and are ready for the next button. When you are done programming all the buttons, wait for about 7 seconds. The LED will flash 3 times indicating it is done programming. The LED will then flash 9 times indicating the version number. Testing the SWI-RC. Connect the plug to back of radio's steering wheel input jack or harness. With the vehicle on, press a steering wheel button to control the stereo. The SWI-RC should control the aftermarket stereo with the function you taught it. Test all other buttons. If the interface does not control the radio as the steering wheel indicates, the buttons were either pressed in the wrong order or a step was not skipped properly. Return to category 7 and reprogram. Make sure all unused wires are isolated separately. After all commands are verified to work properly, secure the SWI interface so that tension will not pull either of the connectors loose or apart. That's it!
