i did crutchfield just cause its crutchfield and i trust them.

of the two you listed id say go with the first one (car audio plaza) cause he has 100% feedback. i never settle anything less than 98%.. and even at that it is pushing it

I've heard horrible things about those. If I were you, having bought a pioneer, I'd accept the fact that I am not going to have sw controls. If they were that important, you could've bought an eclipse. I have heard of so many failures with those things and even if you get it working, breaking down over a short period of time.

I've had mine installed for at least four months now with no problems. Had it installed on my old single-DIN Pioneer HU for a couple months, and then just unplugged it and plugged it into my D3 and it worked the instant I turned it on. Still working to this day.

People might have had problems with the PAC-SWI-X, but I haven't read anything about the PAC-SWI-PS. *shrug*

my unit works flawless, very easy to program and there is no moving parts, so there isnt much to "break down".. i mean it just sends a signal.


the delay on the unit is fairly quick,no complaints there

i have had the infrared-beam model (in my pathfinder with a kenwood unit) and the wired sw adapter (in the tC with a kenwood ddx-7019). they both work flawlessly. i am not a rocket scientist nor a brain surgeon, but programming was still do-able (patience is a must). my pathfinder's has been working for 3 yrs now and nothing has broken down on it. i say if you have sw remote on your car, there is absolutely no reason other than laziness, that you should not continue the convenience when you get an aftermarket hu.
