If the JDM SVX wheel is similar enough to recent Subarus, then it should work with the PAC modules. But the SVX is so old that it isn't a certainty. Once you get the resistance values, you might want to ask PAC's tech support whether it will work.

Re: JDM Power switch pic or explaination plz
I have that exact JDM steering wheel with the steering wheels buttons, connected up all the wires and it doesn't work, I don't think it's wired up to the head unit.
I also have this lying around. After dismantling an SVX I realised that just the little POWER button can be screwed off the shifter and can slide out and be put on another shifter without having to change your WHOLE shifter.... just the little switch... for those who don't know. |

What is the model number on the front of your radio? Does it tune the full FM band for Australia?

Re: JDM Power switch pic or explaination plz
If you drive anywhere that has analog TV stations 5 or 6, you can listen to that audio (but only until August 2011 in Canada)

The knob is not a potentiometer. It's digital. You can rotate it an infinite number of turns in each direction. The head unit number is P411 same as the USDM model. Somebody has offered to send me a USDM unit to compare to the JDM one. They can't be very different. The CD controller is a P611.

The USDM is model P421 and has a pot, so that's a fairly significant divergence. Depending on how modular the radio is, the two might share a few pieces (cassette transport, at the very least). But the display board (which includes the volume knob) will be different, meaning the board it attaches to will also be different. That dashes my hopes of the USDM radios responding at all to the SWC pin.

What are the chances that a USA tuner from a 421 could replace the JDM tuner in the 411 head unit? Assuming the chassis and amp and so on were of a generic line, if the tuner was modular and could be slotted into a JDM radio, then it would be possible to have a fully working steering wheel controlled set-up in the USA. Do you think this is a step too far? Or could it be more complicated than I am suggesting?? Joe

I'd say there's a tiny chance there might be some modules which could be transplanted, but I suspect that there's a single board that has the RF section, amps, and microprocessor. Some newer radios have a jumper (or a trace cut/bridge or diode) that selects between Japan and "rest-of-the-world" FM bands. The best hope would be for the JDM radio to have that feature.

I love 3-spoke steering wheels so much more than 4-spoke wheels, in looks and ergonomics. |

Re: JDM Power switch pic or explaination plz
for you guys curious about the JDM headunits, i'd be happy to send mine off once i replace it
SVXdc, you seem quite interested in this end of things. perhaps a mutually beneficial arrangement can be worked out as im sure you'll recall, i will be needing a harness in the near future right after i get that mutimeter |

Re: JDM Power switch pic or explaination plz
let the battery unhooked for 30 min or so and the system will be dead. Then it won't be scary

I have a full parts binder for the SVX, but I think mine only covers US / Canada models, and that isn't in there.
