Elite M3 member Registered: 15/09/1999 Posts: 101 Loc: Sunnyvale, CA, USA	I am interested in using my Steering wheel controls to control the Empeg Mk2a, using the PAC SWI-X adapter. Does anyone currently have this working? Anyone have any trouble with it? Thanks!

Empeg long presses are implemented by calculating the time between it getting a "button press" signal, and a "button release" signal, which are two different IR codes. The SWI-X sends only a "button press" signal. This is the primary reason I'm trying to build my own system, instead of using the SWI-X.
