PAC SWI-PS Steering Wheel Control issues...

[rc10mike 10+ year member]

I have this hooked up to my 860MP HU. 90% of the time it works perfect. Other times the buttons start doing random stuff. I have an 04 Impala SS, Anyone had these issues before? What might cause it?

Once I switched to the 800PRS, it still happens, so that eliminates the HU. So, would it be actual steering wheel buttons sending the wrong voltage, or a defective PAC SWI-PS?

Well, I progammed the buttons accordingly. They work great most of the time. Sometimes however the "Track Up" button will make the HU go "Track Down". The Mode button will cause the radio to mute. Also, sometimes the vol up button stops working while the vol down button still works!?

If memory serves, PAC states there are issues with Sony decks. Not sure about the Pioneer tho.

Sounds like a defective unit. Get yourself an exchange.
