I'm curious is anyone else has done this. I have programmed my swi-x to mute when I press both volume buttons. It also jumps to the next mp3 folder when I press the up and down buttons. The delay in the swi-x unit seems to make this possible without any problems. I have yet to encounter any problems pressing multiple steering wheel buttons and having it do the wrong remote call.

I am going to reprogram my unit to add an mp3 folder down with the menu, up and down buttons pressed. I forgot, do we have 8 or 12 slots for remote codes? This would be helpful incase I can think of any other combinations of buttons to store.

This is more of an fyi post, but if anyone could answer my question, that would be great

 

i know you can do it but im too lazy to do it myself. have you ever considered using the am/fm button on the steering wheel controls as a mute/attenuator button? im not sure how the 2k1 setup is but my controls have it and its pretty handy.

 

That's exactly how I have mine setup.

The volume and track buttons operate normally, but the mode button is pause/play.

I didn't know we could program multiple codes for each button that way. I actually just relocated my unit to above the headliner, and I have the IR LED coming down very neatly behind the rearview. Looks stock and actually works far better than it ever could in the center console. Now I have easy access to the unit (just take out sunglasses holder), so I may try some reprograming. Thanks for the info!

 

The buttons I have on my 01 are: Vol up, vol down, next track (up arrow), prev track (down arrow), and mode.

My configuration has been:
(steering button(s): remote ir)

Vol up: vol up
Vol down: vol down
Vol up + vol down: mute, stupid eclipse cd8454 doesn't have a pause fuction on the remote
Next track: Next track / up seek for radio
Prev track: Prev track / down see for radio
Next track + Prev track: Next folder / Next radio station preset
Mode: Toggles between CD, AUX, Memory Stick, Radio

I just tried to add prev mp3 folder to the next track, prev track, and mode buttons, but it would not detect that. Then I tried some other buttons. For some odd reason, the swi-x picks up the same signal from the steering wheel buttons for Next Track & Vol down and mode. I would have played around with it some more, but I have to get some other stuff done.
