• See application guide (separate sheet)  for listing of vehicles and connection information. If not, please visit 
 http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/swixprogramming.asp for the most current list of compatible 
vehicles.

• If possible, install the SWI-JACK while you are installing the new head unit. Keep in mind you may need to plug in 
the factory stereo to locate certain wires; therefore do not complete the head unit installation until the SWI-JACK is 
working properly.
• Plan a general installation location for both the SWI-JACK plug and the control body. Keep in mind that the sup-
plied wire harness is two feet long, and the 1/8" plug harness is three feet long. 

•  Use a multimeter or approved measuring device for checking vehicle circuits.

Blaupunkt radios with optional wireless remote inputs are supported by the SWI-JACK, however we do not 

supply any connectors or support for Blaupunkt. It is up to the consumer or installer to supply this connector. Use 
vehicle Connector Chart and use VW connector as reference. Connect the SWI-JACK's blue/yel wire to pin #11 of VW 
connector.  The connector you obtain may come with two of three pieces, however the connector (usually green) should 
show pin #11 on it.
