I have replaced the factory stereo with a JVC stereo. But now I am unable to operate the volume on the steering wheel. Can anyone tell me how I can wire the JVC into the steering wheel so I can operate stereo controls? I appreciate any advice and help on this. Thank you, Shannon

I thought I would have to buy some sort of an adapter but do you know what type or what it would be called?

Your local sound shop should have what you need in stock. PAC makes a universal steering wheel control adapter that works in most cases. It takes the data signal from the steering wheel control wire and converts it into IR. You mount a small led in view of the new deck so it can "see" the signal.

OK thank you very much but do you know what it is called? Because you see I live in a really small town and there is not a sound system store. So, I will have to find one online and order it. And I do not want to order the wrong thing. Do you know about how much they are? Thanks, Shannon posted_image

PAC (and I believe Peripheral makes one too) Swi-x (steering wheel interface- the x is for universal). The last I saw, they are around $70. If you do a search on Crutchfield or SoundDomain I'm sure you can find it.

If you got the SWI-X it won't work with that stereo because it only works if you have an input for wired remotes... might want to check your stereo again, but I dont think it did. You would need the swi-v that hooks up to the infrared sensor. Someone help check that for me, it is a JVC kd-s52.

I sent an email to tech support at PAC and they responded and they said that I would need to order the SWI-X. But I haven't ordered anything as of yet. All I have done is check around for prices. But if someone would check and see which one for sure I need and let me know I will appreciate it. THANKS

It'll be the swi-x, as long as it's compatible with your stereo. Check here, I saw 2 known JVC units that won't work: https://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/swixprogramming.asp. You'll need the JVC remote for your stereo to program the PAC piece, so get that if you don't have it.

I have the remote tothe JVC itcame with it and whihIjust purhased the stereo new from store. So since I have it, I shouldn't have any problem with it working right ? I hope not!! But I have been thinking it says you have to mount the eye somewhere that it can be easily detected. Do you think that would look tacky? Or because of that reason if you were me would you just continue using the remote and leave the controls on steering wheel alone and just not use them? Because I wasn't aware that I would have to mount anything anywhere in view. So, now I am trying to decide if I want to install this adapter thing or not or if I should put the factory stereo back in and sale the JVC. I know I need to make up my mind but I don't know which one I should do. So if someone would give me their oppinion I would appreciate it. CONFUSED THATS ME!!! posted_image

The beauty of a remote is that you develop the tactile sense that you have with controls on the wheel...meaning it's all the same in the end. With either one, you can make adjustments and choices without taking your eyes off the road. With that in mind, I would forego the steering wheel for the less-than-tacky look and save a bundle to boot!

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Thank you I had decided to just keep factory one in and save the money and return the JVC back to store and get a refund. But I just needed someone to agree with me so I would feel like I was doing the right thing. so thank you because of your advice I will be getting a refund of $202.64 and saving 40.00 that I would be spending on an adapter. Hope you have a great day!!!! posted_image
