l2bengtrek Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hello all, I have searched for a while through the different SWC threads and I would like to know something a little more specific. I'm finally upgrading my factory stereo in my '94 CS convertible and bought a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X798 for the head unit. Does anyone else happen to have this unit or know that the PAC SWI-RC controller will work with this? Crutchfield said it will, another stereo installation shop said it will, but the PAC website has it as NON compatible with the KDC-X798 in its footnotes on the product page. I've tried e-mailing PAC, but I'm on day 4 with no response. Has anyone had experience with this Kenwood model and know for sure which way to go? I know it says it will work with Kenwoods with a wired input, but then I ran across the footnote. I don't wanna waste time ordering one and find out in the middle of the install it doesn't work. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Escobar Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 There's probably a way to make it work, and usually Crutchfield is good about those type of things, so maybe you should ask Crutchfield what must be done to get it to work. My guess is that it would be set up as a "genetic" radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2bengtrek Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 PAC finally responded to my e-mail. They said the SWI-RC should be fine. Ordered one today. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
