ok, im trying to understand this so i know what to expect when i install my stuff on sunday.. one of the directions on pac's site just doesnt make any sense.. Connect the SWI-PS 's Green wire to pin 11 (dk. blue) in connector 1 of the above connector. Connect pin 14 (white/black) in connector 2 to +12v accessory.

i understand i have to tap the green wire onto the factory harness, what about the second part of that sentence? it just doesnt make any sense to me.. from the way its worded, it sounds like i have to some how tap the pin 14 wire in the harness to a +12v accesory wire? how am i supposed to do that?

 

is the pin 14 in the swi-ps adapter?

 

no.. as far as i can tell, i think its referring to my stock radio harness.. heres the link to the instructions.. i have no idea what it wants me to do.

You put power to the white/black and the power goes through the switches which are resistors. The pac-ps reads what button is being pressed from the dark blue wire. I think the stock radio gives power to the white/black wire but when the radio is removed you need to add power to it.

 

ok so i need to cut a piece of wire, and tap the white/black one to a 12v power source correct? whats the easiest 12v power wire i can tap into?

 

I would go with the sunroof fuse. I have an 05 ss/sc and I am planning on doing my install this weekend. Good Luck

 

gl to you both. Sadly im probably going to do a swi-jack for myself soon.

 

one more question, does it matter if its a constant 12v or a switched 12v? couldnt i just tap into the cig lighter? and i just want to make sure im doing this right.. i have to cut some wire and tap the wires correct? thanks again

one more question.. do any of you guys know where and what color the reverse wire is for my 07?

 

cig lighter is constant. you dont have to cut wires necessarily. you can do a fuse tap as well

 

I am going to go with a switched 12v. I think that is what they mean when they say a 12v accessory. I don't think you want power going through it all the time. If the PAC-PS looses power it doesn't loose its memory. And for the cut and tap thing. I bought a second harness and added two pins so I wouldn't have to cut any of my factory wires.

 

ok so basically, tap the pin 14 white/black wire to a switched 12v wire.. now i dont understand how that will work since its not connected to the pac swi.. i mean it will be in the circuit or whatever but the wire wont be directly connected to the pac..

 

I not sure what pin it is for you cause 05 and 07 have a different plug. You hook the dark blue wire to the SWI-PS. The white/black is getting power. That power goes through the steering wheel switches and then the power comes out the dark blue wire which is hooked up swi-ps. That is how I understand it. I have done allot of looking trying to figure out how this works too. Hope I will have time to hook it up this weekend.

 

ok, i guess that makes sense.. if you want to look at my 07 install instructions, theyre right here: Link

 

Look like you hook up the green wire from the SWI-PS to Pin A11 the dark blue. And power to pin A 14 white/black. Good Luck let me know how it goes. I am going to try to do what the instructions tell me to and hope that everything goes well.

 

ya you should go with an accessory. sorry i didnt make it clear i was just letting u know you couldn't use the cig bc its constant

 

ok sounds good. only other question is that im going to have to use a piece of automotive wire to tap to the a 14 wire/ switched 12v right? i really dont see any other way to connnect the 2 wires..
