im working on putting my alpine head unit into the car and i was wondering if any one had or is running an alpine CDA-9856 head unit and a PAC SWI-X Steering Wheel Controls Interface. im asking this because the PAC adapter operates from 38-40kHz carrier frequency. I tried to find this on line and it was an epic failure so i figured that maybe you guys could answer before i confuse the crap outa the customer support people at alpine

any help or other options would be awsome

thanks in advance guys u guys are the first i turn to when i cant find this stuff on line. keep up the great work
 


The pac swi-x should work fine. You can always email the guys at crutchfield and ask them. But I did a little research and to me the adapter will work.
 
Ya i just email the crutchfeild guys accually. i couldn't find it and i figured that if they wanted a chance at getting money from me for this theyd help. is the one that crutchfeild any better then the one from zz performance? any extra instructions from either or differences in product?
 
I use the swi-x. It comes with instructions. You can also find the instruction on pac audio's site. The one I saw on crutchfield was the pac swi-jack. That one is supposed to be plug and play. The swi-x has an infrared led which needs to be mounted somewhere for the headunit to receive the signal. Either one should work.

Products Detail
 
i just got a email back from crutchfield and they said that i need the remote for my cd player. they said that is how you program the adaptor. is that right?
 


any ideas of where i could find that remote for less then 20 $ cause ill only use it to program that controler
 
ive never really bought anything off of there. i just really havent had anyone that could explain to me how it works. i know the whole bidding process. but ireally dont understand paypal real well. if you could help me with that i might be able to get it for 17$. i might just pay the extra 3$ just so i dont have to deal with it though
