Default Steering Wheel Hook up
I have a SWI-X for my TA, the instructions dont help me to much. Is there anyone who has Instructions for Fbodies for this thing?

Pretty expensive but well worth it. You can probably find it a little cheaper.
No programming involved.

????, there are no Batteries for the SWI-x, it hooks to a DRK blue wire then it hooks to a power source and a ground. The unit was only $69, u can get it from crutchfield and other stereo shops like that.

Have you used this model on your car? How good is it? Does it need to be right infront to send the signal?

THANKS

not sure on the SWI-X, but the SWI-2 the older version Does not need continous battery to work, i have mine wired to a switches power source, and never had a problem in the past 3 years.
