it works and i like it

install was easy three wires i think and you need the remote the headunit came with. set up is aim remote at eye of pac swix and light comes on the push button on steering wheel and repeat you have a certain time to do this other wise it goes out of setup mode and you have to start over. ask me how i know that happened twice

I monted the remote eye for mine in the plastic housing of the rear dome light. I like this location over the cup holder one because now i don't have to worry about someone blocking the eye and have it not work. I took the circuit board out of the box it comes in and mounted it under the headliner after wrapping the connections with electrical tape. I can try and get a pic if you need one.
