Has anyone else run into the problem of the "TRIP" button on the left side of the steering wheel not working once you take the stock radio out? I installed a Jensen V9510TS over the weekend and everything works great.

I know the radio control buttons on the steering wheel won't work. Anyone know how I can get the Trip button to work though? Right now it just displays the outside Temp, and I can't get to the MPG, DTE, etc... Please Help!

 

You need to ground a wire from the stock harness. Look around for the how-to etc....

 

I have looked through all the How-To's but nothing about that. I looked before I posted, that's what I had used to find out how to take console, etc apart.

 

Found it......

 

Sweet Thanks. What did you do to find it? I was using the Yahoo Search for the forum cause it said I didn't have access to use "search" button at the top of the forum.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

 

pac-swi is your friend.

 

Would I use PAC-SWi or SWx for 2k3 Maxi?

 

He donated.

 

So if I donate I will be able to use the search function? How do I give a donation and how much do I have to give?

Do as I say, not as I do.

 

ok.. so I went and have now donated

 

Donating is goodddd

 

on a slightly similar topic..i just got the Eclipse AVN-5435 and the PAC SWI-ECL (the steeringwheel controller for the eclipse headunits). It works BEAUTIFULLY....I would recommend this set up. You dont even have to ground the trip computer wire...you just connected it to the SWI-ECL. GOOD job DON & Don JR.

 

Anyone know which PAC SWI version I should get for the Jensen VM-9510TS?

 

SWI-X i think

 

Thanks Taylan

 

but wait, your'e question is for getting volume controls again, or JUST to get the trip button functioning. if it's just for the TRIP button to work, then you just need to strip that brown wire.

also, watch which wire. it's a brown with white stripe, but there are 2. one is for your left driver side speaker and much thicker. the thin thin one is for the trip monitor. just make sure that's grounded and trip functions work again

 

Yes it it was originally for JUST the trip wire as I can live w/out the steering wheel controls for now Thanks for the nfo. Now I just have to tear the dash back apart ughh.. I wish I had known before I put everything back together.. hehe.

 

ok I have read on how to get the trip function to work again. Does this include cycling through the temp, mpg etc....?

 

yes yes....

 

Thanks Guys
