Unfortunately I have the dreaded willow controls. So I'd have to buy a black factory board anyway just to be able to put a black DCC button on the JDM controls.

Unless someone out there has the JDM controls in willow for sale.

 

nope, u can just swap em... just be careful! they are fragile! I broke my auto econ and temp button so i had to keep the black ones. but you may as well do it while you solder on your DCC button while you're at it...

Okay, so I can unclip all of my willow buttons and swap them over. For some reason I was thinking that they wouldn't all come off....

 

yep, at first i tried pulling em off and the 2 broke, so then i used 2 small flathead screwdrivers(for glasses/computers) and undid all the clips manually. they are like little bendable hooks that you need to push together with the screwdriver. the "hooks" are on the buttons themselves and the ends of the "hooks" hold the button onto the board. so when you push the ends of the hooks inward you are able to push the hooks out of the boards holes. hopefully this explanation will make more sense after you take a look at it.

 

Thanks brotha!

I think I'm gonna give that a go.

 

these might help, the last pic has the 3 hooks circled that need to be pushed in with a small screwdriver. the rest need to be pushed down with another small screwdriver. on the third picture, the black things on the right side need to be pushed inward and downward after you get the right side hooks done.

 

Not unless you're an electrical engineer with a circuit diagram.

 

Wrathernaut. I finished installing finally my. Avhp4400 looks great works great until I realised I didn't install my bypass. Went back in today, put it in. Had the car
In drive while running and it was playing videos and such. Put everything back together and now doesn't work.. Is your guess just to open everything back up and assume a wire
From the bypass came loose?

 

Not familiar enough with the 4400 to be sure. Did you use a relay?

 

Ya a relay, it's just odd that it was working when I had my dash apart and now that's its together I can't get any video parked or in drive

 

Sounds like something got disconnected when you shoved it all back in then.

 

is there a difference between the pac swi rc and swi ps

 

Yes.

SWI-PS connects to the wired remote input in the back of Pioneer and Sony radios.

SWI-RC emulates the infrared wireless remote that comes with your radio, and works with most radios with a infrared remote sensor.

Wired is generally better, as it doesn't require having the remote transmitter placed where the radio can see it, but some radios don't have a wired remote port.

 

If you haven't already taken care of it, I'd suggest running additional line so that you don't need to leave it behind the deck.

When I ran mine, I was able to set it up so that it sits under the shifter trim. I also used the micro-relay for mine so there's a little more space for it, but this might be another option to consider. It's easy access for the future - if I ever need to replace, no need to remove the entire HU.

 

If i install an aftermarket radio do i need the antenna adapter??
