Default Steering Controls Aftermarket Decks

Who knows/has been able to get their stock steering wheel controls to work with their aftermarket deck?

I remember the local shop told me about $80 bucks for a reciever/transmitter part.

PAC Swi-X Unit. You could find some on here selling for as low as 30. I think brand new they go for around 50?

yes, the PAC swi-x is the universal one. If you have an alpine or pioneer, they make plug in ones that work much better

I have the PAC SWI-PS for Pioneer/Sony and it just plugs in the back of my Pioneer Premier P580-MP

Hey jimmy, which one is for the Alpine Units? I have an Alpine unit now (IVA D300) and if there was something easier than the Swix, that'd be great. I'd then also have a spare Swix in hand...

cool...I have a kenwood deck for now and it would be great to get something like that done while I figure out what is wrong with my motor. Where can I find one???

Its a thing where if I have to spend more then $80 on it is going to kill my motor budget. I would just to like to take care of the motor but at the same time use the down time to get a project or two done that are basically under $100, like the berger panel I'm thinking of doing.

in order to use it on an alpine and other aftermarket decks, there needs to be a jack, that almost looks like mini plug (the end on ear phones for an ipod or similar)

I have the alpine 9855 and it is on there. Let me see if i can find some pics of the wired jack

Does your alpine have the little headphone sized jack in the back for remote input? It probably will work with it.

Call or email crutchfield and ask one of their tech reps for what to use.... then go buy it someplace else cheaper. That's what I do

ImnotPlutonium. . .I bought a RM-X114 remote on ebay this week and just got it in the mail (2 days!) for only 13+ change. . .

Still trying to program my PAC SWI-X and the step where you start programming the buttons. . .the 2nd (right) LED won't light when I press the steering wheel controls. . .stays out the whole time. . . I've seen it blink, so I know the led is good. . .
