Did you know? PAC also produces RadioPRO which is a radio replacement solution, with steering wheel

A. Verify compatibility and get vehicle specic installation instructions.

• Visit www.pac-audio.com/swi for the most current list of compatible vehicles.

Enter your year, make, model, and radio and download time saving, step by step instructions and

wiring information specically for your vehicle.

Note that some vehicles require the use of an additional CANbus adaptor that is sold separately.

The appropriate part number is indicated in the "CAN" column of the Vehicle Install Information Guide (V.I.I.G.)

If you do not have web access, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the included printed materials

such as the Vehicle Install Information Guide (V.I.I.G.) which contains many details about the installation in your

vehicle, and the Vehicle Connection Chart (V.C.C.) which has illustrations of the connection point in the vehicle.

• Check your aftermarket radio's owner's manual to ensure it has the proper connections for a wired remote input.

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 working properly.

• Plan a general installation location for the SWI-RC, keeping 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.
