Wiring The SWC-01
Red (+) wire: connect this wire to a fused 12 volt accessory wire
Black (-) wire: connect this wire to the vehicles chassis ground
Green wire: steering wheel control wire for resistive type systems (see applications)
Pink wire: steering wheel control wire for Data type systems (see applications)
Radio DIP Switch Settings
If you look at the DIP switches on SWC-01 you will see that they are separated into 2
groups of 8 DIP switches each. One side is labeled RADIO and the other side is
labeled CAR. The chart below will show the DIP switch settings for the RADIO side.
The CAR side will be listed with each individual vehicle inside this manual.

Refer to Vehicle Chart to select the proper dip switch position and move
switch "up" or "down" with a small screwdriver to select vehicle model,
radio brand, and external CD changer or external tuner/XM if present.
Example above represents a Chevrolet Suburban 2004-2005 with Sony radio
and no external CD changer or external tuner/XM present.
• * Note: Do NOT plug in wiring harness into the SWC-01 until all DIP switch settings are set.

Mounting The Infrared L.E.D.
15
The infrared L.E.D. (I.R.E.D.) can be flushed mounted in a variety of locations within
the cabin of the vehicle, the higher the location the better to prevent anything blocking
the I.R.E.D. . The I.R.E.D. is high intensity so it does not need to be pointed directly at
the radio, however the more towards the radio it points the better it will work. The dia-
gram below shows possible mounting locations in a vehicle. These are just sugges-
tions and you should use your best judgment as to the location of the I.R.E.D.

16
SWC-01
Continued From Previous Page
To mount the I.R.E.D. follow these steps:
1)Before drilling any holes be sure to test the I.R.E.D. in the location you desire to
mount it in by either holding the I.R.E.D. in place or use double sided tape to hold it
into position.
2)If the SWC-01 works properly you can now mount the I.R.E.D. If possible remove the
panel from the vehicle and drill a 5/16th inch hole. If the panel cannot be removed be
sure to check clearance behind the panel so not to damage any wiring with the drill bit.
3)Take the I.R.E.D. and place the snap in mount over it. Feed the cable through the
mounting hole and snap the I.R.E.D. into the hole.
4)Run the I.R.E.D. cable up to the SWC-01 and connect it. Tie up any loose wiring to
prevent it from getting it caught on any moving parts.
Once all connections have been made, turn the radio on and adjust the steering wheel
volume controls up and down. If the volume controls do not work:
1)Check to see if there is 12 volts on the red wire and the black wire is connected to a
good ground.
2)Make sure the correct steering wheel control wire is used, green for resistive type
steering wheel controls and pink for data type steering wheel controls.
3)Make sure the Dip switch settings are set correctly for your radio and vehicle.
