    Here is a video of my connections. Everything lights up, so you would think I have made all correct connections. I used the green blue brown transitor.

    I have my SWI Jack on setting 2, it is in mode8.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Here is a video

    Not yet, I saw the video, as soon as I get home work I will try it out. Hopefully it works.

    This and the cam is the only thing not installed yet. And the subs/amp but that is for a later date.


    Did you get your car done yet?

    It's a pain in the butt to fish the cable through - search here to find instructions and pics...

    The things I would take note of - grind the yellow RCA cable (plastic surround) down around its case to make it smaller and more easy to fish. Use random lube to help it slide through - I also attached it to a coat hanger (duct tape) to help guide it.

    Lastly, I cut a tiny slit in the boot - like 1/4" to allow me to poke and probe to move it the last 1/2 inch... You'll likely need an added 8' of yellow cable in addition to the 25' that come with the cams (from memory)...

    Thanks for the info. I had time to test the cam before I installed the HU. So now all I have to do is mount it and run the wiring. This will be a weekend project.

    On a side note I fried my swi jack unit last night, so i order a replacment. I am going to start from scratch and follow PAC's instructions instead of looking at diagrams. I think I misinterpreted some symbols

    In case someone wants to know. It turned out my unit was defective, got a new one and it works. The only sucky part is that there was no preset down. So I am using seek up and seek down. Does anyone else have a different setup with their PAC?
