I have yet to buy and install one but I am planning too. From my understanding you only need to hook up three wires. The Green one from the JACK goes to the dark blue wire on the factory connector (blue wire comes from steering wheel controls). Then you just hook up power (switched) and ground. If you go to the PAC website they have some detailed instructions about how to program.

There are a lot of wires but most of them are used for setting options for different makes of vehicles. The red wire goes to switched power (connect it to the red wire in the stereo adapter harness). The black wire goes to ground (connect it to the black wire in the stereo adapter harness). The green wire goes to the dark blue wire in the factory stereo harness (there is no equivalent wire in the harness adapter). Finally, the light blue/yellow wire on the opposite end (beside the 1/8" plug wire) connects to the corresponding light blue/yellow wire in the stereo adapter harness. You can ignore all the other wires.

I believe the light blue/yellow wire is only used with Kenwood head units.

Yes, that's correct. He has a Kenwood DDX512. The other brands that use the SWI-JACK (JVC, Alpine, Clarion) use the 1/8" plug instead of the blue/yellow wire.

Yes, I am bringing this back from the dead!

Anyway, I have a Kenwood HU. All I have for a harness is the wires coming out of the column (my car is a 98 and never had steering wheel controls so I swapped columns). The wires coming out of the column are yellow, green, gray, and black/white. NO BLUE WIRE, so what wire do I hook the green wire (coming from the SWI-JACK) up to?

Also, the 1/8" plug wire is not used?

Did I waste $100 buying a column that has the wires running through it?
