This unit has a built-in 3.5mm SWC interface that is compatible with many popular 3rd
party SWC control modules, such as PAC, METRA, and others.
PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLS
The following radio / audio function controls are available to be programmed.
SWC INSTALLATION / PROGRAMMING
Contact your local installation expert for the correct SWC adapter for your specific
vehicle.
1. For most SWC adapters, select program using "Pioneer/Sony/Other" mapping
order as described in “PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLS”.
2. When programming, if a function is not supported (or not desired), then the function
MUST be skipped as per the SWC module instructions.
3. The SWC function MUST be programmed in the correct order as per the function
