Ford F250 Steering Wheel Audio control for Pioneer AVIC D3
By RockinSD
Ordered the PAC Audio SWI PS steering wheel control interface to allow me to use the volume, preset and band controls on the steering wheel with my aftermarket Pioneer AVIC D3 in-dash navigation, XM radio, video, stereo player.
Checked with Pioneer tech support and they confirmed this unit worked.
Received the product on time as promised from the seller. The manufacturers instructions are not very clear but was able to figure them out eventually. The programming of the unit is a bit clumsy but once you understand it, things go pretty fast.
It works perfectly as advertised. I can now control the volume, channels and bands directly from the steering wheel, just like the original factory unit.

By techeagle
This steering wheel remote interface worked perfectly with my Pioneer AVIC X930BT and 2002 Ford Explorer. The hook-ups are simple (assuming you have some experience with automotive wiring). White wire to the steering wheel lead, (note, that is for my particular vehicle, your car could be different), black wire to ground, red wire to 12V+, plug the connector into the Pioneer and the wiring is done. Don’t even bother with the generic directions that come with the unit, you’ll just get confused. Go right to the PAC website and enter your vehicle. You’ll get specific instructions for your make, model and year. They will even tell you where to find the steering wheel lead. I suggest you do this before you buy the unit and see if you can understand them. If you can, then you qualify to install the unit yourself.
As others have said, the only thing tricky is the programming. Again, the instructions on the website are detailed and accurate. The hard part is that there is a sort of choreography required to do the programming. You have to go through all 13 possible functions, in order, whether you use that function or not. If you mess one up, you have to start over. It sounds worse than it is. After two or three false starts (at least for me) you’ll get the rhythm and it will go like clockwork. My biggest problem is that the programming button on the unit itself is a little small and recessed and my big fat man fingers had trouble pushing it. I ended up using the eraser end of a pencil.
Pros: Does what it says, works flawlessly, great web support
Cons: Limited to nitpicks: small programming button, tricky programming method

By Gman
Had this professionally installed on my civic si when I purchased an aftermarket dvd/navigation head unit.
It was installed by best buy and they said they had a hard time getting it to recognize the “mode” button to switch bands and auxillary so they didnt have it setup. My volume and tuner buttons work though. I cant really say how hard the install is but I checked out the wiring a few days later and it looks pretty simple (2-3 wires spliced to the radio wires). I guess you need to install a resistor between the ground and power too, depending on your setup if you have subs. They said its kind of a pain to install these devices, but it does work pretty well, not really a delay on my like some say they have.
