its a steering wheel control adapter so you can use the stock steering wheel controls with an aftermarket headunit. i bought mine two months ago and its still waiting to be installed...the instructions that come with it suck and i dont trust myself with soldering the resistors

i cant give you any help on installing but i know it isnt very hard because my friend just did it but you need to figure out a good mounting point for the transmitter that send the signal to the head unit

Here is where I installed my LED


You have to install resistors online with the module so you get the the right current. Soldering is not needed at all..... just crimp them together with some connectors.

The install isn't that hard, but I had some trouble programming it. Dad had to come over and help for a minute because it involves holding down buttons on the module and on your steering wheel controls.

I'm pretty sure I just went by the instructions that came with the devise, but I may of used some info from the org aswell. Do a search and check the faqs.

OK.. so it's pretty much the resistors attach to the white wire, and then the other ends of the resisitors attach to the wires that were attached to the old headunit, right? There's a lof of room for the PAC unit back there? Did you glue it in so it doesn't move around?

I think that's all I used was one resister with the white wire, but I don't remember what I hooked up to what. As for the unit...... it's so light it won't move around. There are too many wires/RCA wires holding it still back there.
