good for any headunit IF....it has a remote control for it because what a swix does is memorizes the infared signal from your remote control and then shoots it to the headunit when you push your steering wheel buttons.

Anybody here have a SWI-X, and how good does it work? If you have one could you perhaps post some pics, and a walk-through on how to set it up? I'd appreciate it.
