Ey all,
Just thought I might add, If you bwant to use PAC SWI-Jack in a VX Commodore heres what I worked out to get mine going...
You only need to use 3 wires on the SWI-Jack harness:
- Red = Connect to ACC
- Black = Connect to Ground
- White, Connect to the solid Brown wire on the cars connector
To ensure you have the right brown wire, with the car off, put one end of a multi meter into the brown wire and the other to ground, and push each button, you should measure:
- Mode = 21.78K Ohms
- Next UP = 11.78K Ohms
- Next Down = 7.03K Ohms
- Mute = 3.7K Ohms
- Vol UP = 1.4K Ohms
- Vol Down = 1.9 Ohms
- NOTHING PUSHED = Infinite Ohms
You do not need to solder any resistors on to the buttons, you just have to set the SWI module to MODE 9.
The rest is fairly streight forward, and will depend on the head unit you have.
For an Alpine unit, Choose number 1 on the dial switch on the SWI Unit, and follow the sequence in the manual to program it.
A Tip for alpine units,
IF you try and program both the PRESET UP or DOWN AND the TRACK UP or DOWN to the same button, when you are playing an MP3 disk you will skip folder, not track, this is because PRESET UP and DOWN are first in the programming order and over wirte TRACK UP and DOWN, to skip tracks, you must only program one button to be TRACK UP and DOWN.
I have the following program:
- Mode = PRESET UP
- Next UP = TRACK UP
- Next Down = TRACK DOWN
- Mute = Mute
- Vol UP = Vol up
- Vol Down = Vol down
That way I can skip folders and tracks in MP3 mode, and still change stations in radio mode.
I hope that can help someone.
