Steering Wheel Control Compatibility
1. For most SWC adaptors select program using "Pioneer/Sony/Other" mapping order as described
above.
2. When programming, if a function is not supported (or not desired), then the function MUST be
skipped as per the SWC module instructions.
3. The SWC function MUST be programmed in the correct order as per the function mapping order
instructions.
A third-party adapter must be used in order for this unit to be compatible with your OEM steering wheel
