Help installing PAC SWI-CAN2 and SWI-RC

Dannyboy · 01-07-2013, 08:02 AM

Hey like the title says I'm trying to install these on an 06 E90. I thought I had the wiring right but when I test fitted in the car with the aftermarket radio I couldnt get the led on the RC to light up.

I have toe CAN2 connected to the RC via the molex plug and the rc plugged to the Alpine with the 3mm plug. I wired the CAN2... the yellow to Constant the black to ground and the CAN + to what was labelled as CAN high on the oem harness and the CAN - to what was labelled as CAN low on the oem harness.

The radio powers up but not getting anything out of the PAC units, although I didnt have time to check with a multimeter.

If anyone has installed this let me know if I have the wiring right!

Thanks

If anyone is listening!!! I checked power with a meter and have 10 volts on ignition and 13 with the car on. The problem is the unit wont program. the led stays on all the time and doesnt blink when pushed!

Come on I'm sure someone has tried to hook this thing up! Frustrated.

So it turnsout the instructions from PAC suck! I even called their tech support and the guy was as clueless as I was! I was able to get it to work...the CAN wire info was recersed on their instructions and the rep was giving me the wrong number for my radio!
