Radio DIP Switch SettingsIf you look at the DIP switches on SWC-01 you will see that they are separated into 2groups of 8 DIP switches each. One side is labeled RADIO and the other side islabeled CAR. The chart below will show the DIP switch settings for the RADIO side.The CAR side will be listed with each individual vehicle inside this manual.

Mounting The Infrared L.E.D.
15
The infrared L.E.D. (I.R.E.D.) can be flushed mounted in a variety of locations withinthe cabin of the vehicle, the higher the location the better to prevent anything blockingthe I.R.E.D. . The I.R.E.D. is high intensity so it does not need to be pointed directly atthe radio, however the more towards the radio it points the better it will work. The dia-gram below shows possible mounting locations in a vehicle. These are just sugges-tions and you should use your best judgment as to the location of the I.R.E.D.
16
SWC-01
Continued From Previous Page
To mount the I.R.E.D. follow these steps:1)Before drilling any holes be sure to test the I.R.E.D. in the location you desire tomount it in by either holding the I.R.E.D. in place or use double sided tape to hold itinto position. 2)If the SWC-01 works properly you can now mount the I.R.E.D. If possible remove thepanel from the vehicle and drill a 5/16th inch hole. If the panel cannot be removed besure to check clearance behind the panel so not to damage any wiring with the drill bit.3)Take the I.R.E.D. and place the snap in mount over it. Feed the cable through themounting hole and snap the I.R.E.D. into the hole.4)Run the I.R.E.D. cable up to the SWC-01 and connect it. Tie up any loose wiring toprevent it from getting it caught on any moving parts.
Once all connections have been made, turn the radio on and adjust the steering wheelvolume controls up and down. If the volume controls do not work:1)Check to see if there is 12 volts on the red wire and the black wire is connected to agood ground. 2)Make sure the correct steering wheel control wire is used, green for resistive typesteering wheel controls and pink for data type steering wheel controls.3)Make sure the Dip switch settings are set correctly for your radio and vehicle.
Final Testing
