Default Can't program swi-jack to version 1

This is driving me nuts. I've been searching and searching and can't find anything helpful.

I bought a PAC swi-jack for my 99 TA with Alpine CDA-9886 HU a while ago but never installed it. I went to put it in today, got the connections hooked up, and went to program it.

Instuctions say I need version 1. I hold the program button, red LED lights up. Turn to ACC ON, release button, LED stays lit for a second or two then turns off.

Now it says to press prog button one time for version one. I hit button, nothing happens. About 10 or so secs later the LED flashed 3 times quickly, quick pause and one more flash.

I tried this a bunch of times but can't figure it out...

Did you hook up the blue and black (from the steering wheel switches) wire to the green wire ?
The purple and brown wires are to be looped (not cut)

Use these instructions: http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogram...ehicles&ID=108

I hooked the black to black and red to red in the adapter harness, and green to the blue wire in the factory harness. I didn't use any other wires, and the purple and brown loops were not cut.

I was just thinking and might have figured it out. If the unit is hooked to switched power, then the LED shouldn't light up before I turn the ignition to ACC ON right?

Well mine does. I hooked it up to the red switched power wire in the adapter harness, but now I'm thinking that line is getting steady power.

Yup. The red wire has to be connected to switched 12 volts

I gotta check tomorrow. I know I hooked it to the 12v switched wire in the harness, so something's not right. But I appreciate the help!
