jpit. Is there a chance that you can return the SWI-Jack? The reason I ask is that I just bought a Metra Axxess ASWC and it is loads better that the SWI. It doesn't use resistors and it auto-detects your car. It is also firmware upgradeable with an optional harness.
When it does the auto-detecting, there are a two different series of flashes. The first one identifies which wires you have connected and the second identifies which brand of HU you are using. The first set of flashes is very helpful because it showed me that I didn't get both wires hooked up properly.
I hated screwing around with those flimsy resistors on the SWI-Jack.
Just a thought.
If you can't take it back, then regarding the resistor install, I connected two wires to the white wire, then spliced the resistors into those two wires and put shrink tubing around the resistors to insulate and strengthen them. This way you are splicing wire to harness at each end instead of trying to splice the resistors into one of the harnesses. I still ended up busting one of my resistors and had to buy another (5 pack actually). I don't know why their resistors use such tiny wires. The ones that I bought were a lot thicker.
Confusing enough?

The pink wire is the source and track up/down buttons. The blue wire is the volume up/down button.
