Ok so I just got a new Alpine 9884 cd player for my 00 s. Love it. Just decided that I would get the SWI-ALP to make my dash controls functional again. Got it and hooked the red to red (power), the black to black (ground) and the white to white (interface wire). I went to program the damn thing and I cannot seem to get the thing to read any buttons pressed on the dash. When I go into program mode I set my version and then I go to program my volume up and down and the led light will turn one (stating that it is in program mode) but when i hold the volume up button it just times out and will not program.

anyone using this and have any suggestions?

THANKS

 

I've used it and it will work, though if I remember right I had to read the instructions 3 or 4 times before I figured out how to program it. That was a while back and I don't remember any other details.

What's the white wire for? I notice you didn't mention how you connected the dash switch wire (green/red) to the PAC unit, but it has to connect to it somewhere.

 

the only wires I hooked up were:

the 3.5mm headphone jack into the back of the cd player
red (power)
black (ground)
white (interface steering wheel control wire)

nothing else

I think the green/red wire you are thinking about is the white interface wire that is suppose to connect to the controls.

i will play with it again tomorrow, hopefully something till work out

 

try instead of pressing volume up press like mute or something else to see if it's reading it correctly.

 

i tried and i still get no response with the pogramming unit. i am waiting for a reply from PAC hopefully its something stupid and it will work cause i hate having no dash controlls

 

Can you tell me if you have the version with the option for kenwood controls , or the older one without kenwood controls?

 

i have the one without the Kenwood control. it is suppose to be for Alpine only 05+ units

 

yea it's not a radio problem right now , sounds like a programing problem.... your turning the car on, THEN hitting the button on the pac THEN pressing the volume buttons correct?

 

ya i turn the car on holding the progam button

let the led start then it goes off. then i program version 3

turn the car off then back on

hold the program down and the light starts and then i press and hold vol up

then the led blinks times saying its exiting program mode.

i have tryed programming version 1 and 2 also and still the same problem

 

white on white? You're supposed to hook up PAC's white wire to the #3 pin in the Honda's connector. It's supposed to be green w/ red tracer but I might be color blind, it looks blue to me.
