Thread: Question about a new deck.

Okay if i were to get a new deck for my car will i be able to still control it through the steering wheel or do i have to just forget about that idea?

you can get an interface its called the pac sw-x i think and it plugs into the remote wired jack on the back of pioneer and sony decks and most likely others as well. works really well got mine off ebay.

I mad a little mistake its the swi-ps I have, the swi-x was one I ordered and it was the ir so i sold that one and ordered the one i got now for a cleaner installation.
You connect it to the factory wiring and than it plugs into the back of deck, all you need to do after is program is which is pretty easy.
theres also an swi-jack that works with some brands other than sony/pioneer also.

okay thanks ill look into it.

For an alpine deck you would want the "swi-jack" model. It will work if your deck has a wired remote jack on the back of it, looks like an auxilary jack but for remote control.
Heres the website for all the products... Products

these are the compatible list of alpine decks, just have to look to see if yours is one of them.

Right now on ebay the swi-jack is about 55.00$ and 14.00 shipping in canadian dollars. Before I purchased mine I went to the local stereo installer and he wanted 150.00!, I turned to ebay,lol
