Before You Start
A. Is this product compatible with the ve hi cle?
• See Vehicle Application Guide (separate sheet)  for listing of vehicles and connection information.
•  If  your  vehicle  is  not  listed,  check  www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming  for  the  most  current  list  of  com pat i ble 
vehicles.
B. Prepare for the installation.
• Review the application guide for vehicle specifi c wiring details and note where the steering wheel control wires will be 
found.  Keep in mind that the supplied interface wire harness is 
two feet long
•  Use a digital multi meter for checking and verifying vehicle circuits.
Using the Vehicle Application Guide
C. Select your make, year and model.
• Choose your 
Make, Year, and Model and highlight the complete column 
across the page.
• If the exact model and year is not listed, choose a broad 
Model name 
such as “All Models” or one that describes the radio connector.
E. Version number, loops and notes.
• The  
Version number will tell the interface what SWC circuit type is being used.  This will be 
addressed  on  the  next  page. The 
Note  ID  is  a  vehicle  specifi c  programming  tip  or  connection 
instruction.  Only read notes in the note chart specifi ed by the Note ID.  Disregard all others.
• 
Cut Purple? Cut Brown? This refers to the loops on the SWI-ECL2 connector.  Cut these loops 
only if instructed to do so.
D. Locating the vehicle steering wheel control wire.
• Determine your 
Interface Wire Color (Green, Yellow, Orange 
or White)
This wire will be connected to vehicle’s steering wheel 
control wire
• The 
Interface Connector (if available) is an image of the vehicle 
plug.  This image is found on the 
Vehicle Connector Chart.
• The 
Pin Number and Color (if available) refers to the vehicle’s  
SWC wire located in the 
Interface Connector (if available).
F. Additional Notes and Interfaces.
• The 
Additional Notes are connections that may 
have  been  supplied  by  the  radio  prior  to  removal.  
These must be made in order to complete the steering 
wheel control circuit.
• Some vehicles will require an additional CAN bus 
interface.  This will be needed if “Yes” is printed below 
CAN Interface heading
.
Programming the Interface Version Number
SWI-ECL2
Step 5.
3 seconds after the last press of the Program Button, the LED will fl ash the same 
number of times as just pressed.  This indicates the programmed version number.  Turn 
vehicle key to the 
Off position. The version programming sequence is now complete.
If the repeated fl ash count of the LED does not match the version number needed, you must start over at Step 2.

Step 1.
Refer to
 the Vehicle Application Guide for the version number that corresponds to your vehicle.  Write the Version Number below for quick reference.  
Make sure to read all steps before programming as some are time sensitive.  If the result indicated to the left of the arrow does not result from the step 
performed, you must start again.  Double checking connections may be necessary before continuing.  
At this point all connections should be made and 
the key should be in the off position.  Keeping the door open during programming is recommended to disable the R.A.P. feature (if available)

*NOTE - It is recommended that the Red wire is connected to the same ACC. or IGN. wire as the radio.
Connect the SWI-ECL2 
Radio Control wires to the newly installed Eclipse radio.  
There are 2 known wiring color combinations for the Eclipse radios.  Connect 
according to the chart below.
The 
Vehicle Application Guide and Connector images (included with interface) contain the known locations of steering wheel 
control wires for vehicles compatible with this interface.  If your 
Year, Make or Model is not listed below check 
www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming for the most current and up-to-date list of compatible vehicles and radios.  You can 
also reference similar vehicles or years.  They may be the same as what you are working with.

Press  and  release  the 
Program  Button 
the same number of times as the version 
number.
The  LED  will  flash  each
