Quality product with clear instructions found on PAC website. Retained steering wheel controls on my 2017 Nissan frontier.

I like the little switches because they are easy to use. The documentation is scary, as others have mentioned. In my case, the colors of the wires didnt match the diagram but the pin numbers did. And that was enough for me. I soldered the 4 wires that I used and cut the rest. I didnt have to do any extra setup. All buttons work including long press.

The unit I received was the PAC SWI-RC1. To install this unit, you'll need to put in the make of your vehicle and which radio you are using on the PAC website. In some cases, the vehicle you are installing this into is not on the official supported list, however in this case, you can still go with a manual setup. Once you put in the needed information, you'll be given detailed instructions on which wires to attach (and which ones to not use), and instructions on how to program the head unit. The setup type and radio type are programmed into the unit using DIP switches on the side. The unit also has a USB connection for firmware updates. For manual setup, the unit allows you to program the specific buttons on your steering wheel to perform specific functions tailored to your head unit. For many aftermarket head units, you must use this interface adapter to connect your aftermarket head unit with your steering wheel controls... however - some aftermarket units do not need this adapter when your vehicle uses analog resistor network buttons on the steering wheel. I bought this originally to go with a JVC KW-M590BT. The JVC unit would require the use of this interface adapter to translate the signals from the buttons in my vehicle with the head unit. But due to fitment issues, I ended up going with the Atoto F7G2A7WE head unit. As this was my first aftermarket head unit installation, I went ahead and wired up and programmed the PAC unit as instructed. But come to find out, this Atoto head unit has a built-in SWC Key program function, meaning that in the case your vehicle uses analog steering wheel controls, you can directly connect the head unit's SWC-Key wire to the respective wire leading to your steering wheel. The PAC unit in my installation was totally unnecessary. Basically, I had to first program the PAC unit with my Jeep's steering wheel button signals, and then program the Atoto to map the signals from the PAC to the respective functions. I later installed a second Atoto F7G2A7WE unit into a 2007 Honda Pilot and skipped the use of the PAC unit, instead direct connecting the head unit's SWC-KEY wire to the respective wire for the analog steering wheel controls. I was able to program the head unit to directly interpret the signals without the need for the interface adapter... So before you buy this, look up the aftermarket head unit you are buying as well as the vehicle you are installing this in to see if (1) your head unit has the option to be programmed to recognize your vehicle's steering wheel controls and (2) if your vehicle sends steering wheel button commands to the radio via an analog resistive dropper circuit, or by a digital signal. If your vehicle uses a digital signal such as CAN-BUS and you cannot easily tap into an analog signal wire for the buttons in the steering column, then use of the PAC adapter would be necessary to convert the signals back to analog to interface with the head unit. TLDR - This is a decent product, however you might not actually need this if your vehicle uses an analog steering wheel interface signal and the head unit has built-in mapping/programming to map your buttons to the radio functions, such as with my Atoto head unit.

I fitted into my 2013 Dodge GrandCaravan and also added a rear view camera! Everything works exceptionally well including the factory steering wheel control I am now Wazing and enjoying my music in my car!! here are my parts used (sorry, being a new user means I can't post any links) 0: Atoto A6 2GB/32GB Unit -- 1. Steering wheel control -- 2. Rear View Camera -- 3. Dodge Installation Trim Kit including Antenna adapter 4. Soldering iron and solder 5. PAC Radio Replacement Interface -- 6. Trim Panel removal tool -- 7. Dremel tool set (You need some cutting) -- 8. Wire stripper -- 9. Multi meter -- 10. Electrical tape -- 11. 3.5MM jack to three pin connector, (look for it in Radio Shack) Now, get to installation, 1. pulling the factory radio is pretty easy, you just use the trim removal tool to get the radio panel off and then unscrew the four screws holding the radio in place. Once remove the screws, gently pull the radio out and disconnect the factory harness and radio connector, the radio connector is pretty fragile, be careful not to break it... 2. Connect the harnesses, open the PAC harness package, you need to determine which harness to use, for my car, it was the one with slightly bigger connector, try it on the factor harness first. Then lay down the color/wire mapping on your desk and start connecting the wires, PAC did not actually strip the wires so you need to do it, after strip the wires, gently twist so they connect better, then chris cross on with the ATOTO wires and solder the wires on, I like to put my soldering gun under the wire to heat them up and let them soak the solder rather than melt the solder using the iron, better conenction.. After solder, use tape to mask up the bare wires, you will connect all wires except three, the thin Ground wire, KEY 1, and KEY, go ahead and cover up KEY 1, you dont need that . Like picture 1 3. Wrap the harness, go ahead and wrap the harness so the wires dont go crazy 4. Install Steering wheel control (optional), open the PAC SWI unit package, and turn the dial to 7 before you do anything else, TURN THE DIAL TO 7 first. Then connect the 7pin connector (white) comes out from your PAC interface to your SWI unit, go to your vehicle, connect to factory harness and follow instructions from PAC (every car is different, you need to follow the factory instructions) and program it, then use the multiulmeter to find the pins output the resistive differences (this is a bit tricky, my suggestion is to solder wires to each pins on the 3.5mm connector (see pic 2) and then use your multi meter find which two wires output resistive values when you press a button) after you find the two wires, connect them to thin black ground wire and KEY wire (NOT KEY1), and then fire up the ATOTO unit and go to DEFAULT SETTINGS -- STEERING WHEEL CONTROL and see if it registers the presses, if not, swap the wires (because there is no clear way to tell which one is ground...) after you confirm its working, solder the KEY and ground wire 5. Placing the antennas, place them anywhere you like, even including inside the radio hole, but I went ahead and place the antennas across the trim and near the wind shield on the driver side so they get better reception. 6. Actually installation, because ATOTO is slightly higher than stock unit you need to do a bit cutting, first cut the TRIM Kit side panel about 2mm from both sides, then use Dremel to trim down the top and bottom notch of the stock Trim piece or until it fits 7. Back up camera is also fairly easy, hook it up with the reverse light and tuck the cable under the trim and you are good to go Hope it is helpful, please leave me a message if you need any help!
