Default Swi-x

I love this thing. I switched headunits a while ago and have been without the use of my Steering wheel controls. I just recieved this thing from jsnone1 and it's great. My wheel controls now control the volume on my headunit and the channels on my Sat Radio which is a separate unit. Sorry I had to share my joy at getting my Wheel controls back.

I like the swi-x too. I installed the eye of it pointing down from right above the hu, above the fog switch etc.. Would every once in awhile not work, but I bought a new Kenwood x790 hu last week and a flush mount dash kit(the old one stuck out some and had a cd slot). Now it works perfect everytime since the mount kit sits in more and doesn't interfere with the led.

How hard was it to install? What do you do for the programming of it?

Easy as pie. just 3 wires to splice. To program all you have to do is press the button on the SWI-X once, 1. Push the volume up button on the wheel, 2. push the volume up button on your stereo remote control. Repeat 1 and 2 for the rest of the buttons.
