Avic F700BT Question

One of my x-mas gifts was the Pioneer Avic f700BT HU. I have been looking on here for an instalation how-to and had no luck finding one. I had a question, I know I need a certain wiring harness, which I have, I also know that you cant use the XM radio that came factory, so my question is, if I get a sirius satellite tuner, Im going to need an
additional antenna right so Ill have 2 antennas one for satellite radio and the other for the nav. Is this correct or can I use one antenna for both navi and satellite,also if anyone here has a how to install I would greatly appreciate it.

you will need the siruis antenna but not sure on if you need one for nav, some units do some dont but if its needed it should be in the box with the unit itself (keyword is should)

Yes I have an antenna for navi that came in the box but I was wondering if i can also use that for satellite as well or do I need a separate one for satellite radio.

no you would need seperate ones. Although they do make a shark fin antenna that does both nav and sat radio

^^ Yeah I heard about those but I already have the factory sat antenna on my roof, so I was thinking I would install the nav antenna on the pass side dash area by the a pillar and the sat antenna on the driver side dash area by the a pillar, what do you think?

This has to do with the PAC C2R-GM11 harness, there is 1 wire that Im not sure of, it is the lt green wire and theres a label on it that says SWC Output, use version 1. Does anyone know what that wire is for and what SWC means? Also just to clarify this harness other than that 1 wire looks straight forward, the speaker wires on the PAC harness connect to the same color wires from the HU harness and the other wires (red yellow etc) hook up to the same color wires from the HU is this correct?

I think I just figured out what SWC means, correct me if Im wrong but is it Steering Wheel Control?

steering wheel control? probably built in since its pac and they make 90% of them sold so.

look on the instructions with the harness. its probably going to be matching colors but it might not be you know
