PJB Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Where can I get an adapter to make the steering wheel controls on a '97 Cutlass Supreme work with a Pioneer DEH 1000 deck? My friend put the deck in his car and it needs the adapter because the controls dont work. I remember somebody saying Best Buy has it, but they no longer carry it and Circuit City didnt really know what I was talking about. Does somebody have one theyre willing to sell?

PJB Posted June 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 The Best Buy around here knew what my friend was talking about, but said they no longer carry it. How much did you pay for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpv123 Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 $50 bucks. You can find it online also. do a search on "PAC swi-x" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 PAC SWI-X requires the HU have an IR remote to work. It needs to learn codes from the IR remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox340 Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Whats the IR remote? Inferred remote... you know... like a TV remote, but for radio. - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJB Posted June 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Shit, he doesnt have one. Theres no other way to use the Swix then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 He might still have a chance if it has an IR receiver (the "eye" for the remote) and can get ahold of a remote to program the SWI-X. I've seen some stereos can support a remote but don't come with them. If it has no IR receiver, then he's pretty much SOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toastemcutlass Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 i didnt know before yesterday about the pac and today i got one at best buy for 60 bucks, it only took four wires and it was in. and to think I spent hours looking over the wiring diagrams of the hvac and stereo to try to get the controls back. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
