anyone have trouble with the stereo controls responding intermitenly (sp?)

mine only work when they want and its annoying.

 

My volume up/down and tuner are intermittent. However that's more a 'feature' of the PAC remote adaptor going into my Pioneer HU.

BTW, happy new years Navfe.

 

you too man!

same here, the mode works fine but the vol ^v and the main ^v are laggin, its getting on my nerves, i dont wanna have to buy a new switch

 

It works when it wants to on my brothers max. On mine the volume will astop every once on a blue moon.

 

Another thing, mine will change stations by itself every so often too.

 

Twilight zone!! lol

 

I've noticed that when my audio controls don't work, if you tilt the wheel a degree or two, they work fine. I can't make heads or tails out of that.

 

Any relation to ambient temperature?

For those using PAC, switch to the Axxess ASWC. MUCH better product.

Montego Murph - you've got PM.

 

im gonna check my wiring, my car is a 98 so its not native, but ill also pull the switch and open it up to do some research

 

NELLLLLLLLLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL


whats up man?

 

My car used to do that. When I replaced the unit with a new unit from Daveb it stopped doing that. Maybe a loose connection with the unit itself or on the cable.

Mine have trouble working when it is cold outside (<60). The contacts could also be dirty. I took mine apart and cleaned the contacts. The buttons worked significantly better after that.

 

Here is a write up I did several years ago:

How many commands can you program? When I used the IR version of the SWI-X, I programmed Vol Up + Vol Down = mute, etc.

Unfortunately, lost all of those extras when I switched to the directly connected version for my Eclipse Radio.

 

your clock spring is bad and needs replacing.


I have had the steering wheel switches fail, usually just swap them out and good to go, every once in a while encounter the clock spring breaking and needs replacing.

 

Mine used to do that, but when I replaced just the buttons, that problem disappeared...go figure

 

Hey buddy - how's it goin?

Not 100% on that. It definitely does everything the OEM buttons do. It's just MUCH faster in response time than the PAC units.
