Steering Wheel Control Wiring

Whew! I think I found my answer to the above. I guess I didn't screw up, I just don't need to use the mini-jack. Feel free to tell me if

Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong. Everybody else does.

Okay stupid question. When installing the SWI-JACK or SWI-PS are you cutting the wires going into the factory male plug that connects to the OEM head unit (via a female receptacle), or does the SWI-* unit provide a female plug with wires that you then cut? I'd prefer not to cut the factory wiring harness, and would like to simply extend the wiring with another plug in the middle.

question about metra Axxess interface...

I dont get how to connect the wires in the below steps...and when it states connector in the vehicle does that mean the harness? or the HU?

3) Connect the Gray/Red wire of the ASWC to pin 6 of the vehicle. Below is a picture of what the connector in the vehicle looks like:
This is the pin view of the connector in the vehicle
4) Connect the Gray/Blue wire of the ASWC to pin 16 of the vehicle.
5) Connect pin 15 of the vehicles harness to Ground.

Thanks,
Jay

Thanks for the diagram. I noticed the harness for my Pioneer AVIC-X920BT has a speed signal wire. I assume for those ECCO functions. Can I tap pin 18 marked speed on the factory plug for that?

Yes it's the factory plug to the stock radio, not the one you buy to marry to the new head unit harness. You can cut it if you want otherwise you just need to tap into it. Cutting is not neccessary though. No extra plug/harness provided by PAC but you can get 2,3,4 ect pin harness with a loop of wiring you can cut to lenth and electronic supply stores. I got one for $2.

This wiring would not work for me. I had to wire it with these pins according to Conch's post

“Z” Pin #6 to 47ohm (yel/vio/blk) to PAC white wire
“Z” Pin #16 to 150 ohm (brn/grn/brn) to PAC white wire
ground pin #15 (Br)
PAC black wire to “Z” ground

Is the only way to connect the resistors is to solder them? It's the only step I have left, but wanted to make sure I do it right...

You don't have to. It actually will work fine with a standard 2 side crimp. Just put them both in and crimp it well making sure they wont slide out. Also make sure the side of the resistors that are not connected do not touch each other.

That's actually just what I did. Easy install and works great. No delay at all as others have mentioned. Only problem is no matter what I do my preset channels don't work. It will only seek. Not that big of a deal I suppose. But, would've been nice. It does say that presets may not work with certain models. I guess I have one of those models.

I installed the PAC SWI-PS by the way.

I have a quick question... With the newest PAC-SWI-JACK instructions for Nissan 370z Radio (Base model I suppose) on iPod Integration for your car and More by Pac-Audio - Connecting you to the future, they don't mention about connecting the “Z” Pin #6 to 47ohm (yel/vio/blk) to PAC white wire. All they say is Connect pin6 in the vehicle connector to interface's white wire. So my question is that do I need to connect the 47ohm resistor as described in the old manuals? Thanks.

Default Alpine not communicating with Steering wheel

Hello Z friends,


I have an after market 900 series Alpine head unit installed in my 2011 Z. The steering wheel controls have stopped working with the radio except for the volume controls? The channel up or down has worked a couple of times and then quit and the Telephone controls have never responded at all?

Do you think this is something I can "ohm" out myself or should I take it to an audio specialist? The place that installed the total "Alpine/LG audio package" in place of the factory bose system is no longer in business!!

Are you running the pac or the metra?

Sounds like one of the resistors could be coming lose, the phone buttons normally do not work unless special wiring is done. I have never had the phone buttons work after an install.

Hey I installed a SWI-RC and it seemed to take the programming (i.e. the box blinked and/or stayed solid as was expected according to the instructions) but the steering wheel controls still will not work. Does that plug at the back of the radio really need to be plugged in only AFTER you program the box? I plugged everything in and wired everything up beforehand.

I figured out what had happened. The ground was no good. Hooked up to a good ground and BOOM!!! Works like a charm now.

Can someone verify that this is the correct way to connect the resistors to the SWI-PACK module. There is only one white wire, yet they want 2 resistors, 1 from pin 6 and 1 from pin 16 going to the white wire of the PAC module.
