PAC RP4-VW11 Radiopro4 Stereo Replacement Interface with Steering Wheel Controls - Instruction Manual

1. Uvod

The PAC RP4-VW11 Radiopro4 is a stereo replacement interface designed to integrate an aftermarket radio into select Volkswagen vehicles equipped with a CANbus system. This interface retains essential factory features, including steering wheel controls (SWC) and provides data-controlled accessory and navigation outputs. It also supports the retention of the factory amplifier in premium amplified systems, though fading capability may be limited to two input channels from the aftermarket radio.

The interface is pre-programmed for most vehicle factory SWC functions. Custom programming is available for re-assigning SWC functions or utilizing short press/long press dual command functionality.
