Hello everyone,
Anyone know where I can find a "PAC" SWI7 Converter for my 88 GTA? To make my steering wheel controls work with my pioneer radio? The best buy's near me (NY) have NO Idea what I'm talking about. Can someone help me out?

Thanks

 

Try finding an email addy or something on bestbuy.com. You can also talk to a local car audio shop, which is bound to know more than BB anyway. There are a bunch of companies making similiar units now.

Circuit City can order them as well. Don't mess with the sales folks. Go to the installer bays and tell them what you need. My Best Buy store deprived a village of their idiots when they hired their sales force. I haven't gotten around to ordering my self one of these units. Post after you get one and let us know who well it works.

 

You have to go right to Best Buy's install bay. Ask for the Install Supervisor; he's the only one who can order it.

You have to pay for it in advance, $60. When I go to work tomorrow, I'll find the SKU number for you.

I think you might need the SWI-6, not the SWI-7. I'll double check.

 

is this piece pioneer specific... or will it work if i have an eclipse head unit?

 

It'll work with any head unit that has an infared remote.

If you really have a lot of trouble going to Best Buy, try this:

Go directly to the install bay; ask for the Install Supervisor...he's the only one that can order this piece. You do have to pay in full before it can be ordered.

I'd be more than happy to help him...tell him to call me at Store 537, Cambridge MA, USA, 617-577-8866, x2240.

 

Just for everybody, info..... you can order these PAC interfaces through AutoToys.com as well. According to them, # PW7 is the one that fits the GTAs.

I have one ordered from them right now; the price is $64.50 each. They also have the best price I have found on the Pioneer DEH 77DH CD stereo w/remote control (req. to use the PAC adapter) at $226.00.....

I have the complete setup on order, and will post my experiences when it arrives for those who are interested.
