3.5MM SWC CABLE

Plug in the 3.5MM to 4-Pin SWC cable and set the DIP switches to the aftermarket radio you are using.

NOTE: Insulate the Blue/Yellow wire or the 3.5mm plug if not being used.

For aftermarket radios that have wires for SWC connections, cut off the 3.5mm plug on the Crux SWC Cable and connect the SWC wires as follows:

RED to SWC Key 1

WHITE to SWC Key 2

SHIELD to SWC Ground

Note that there are some radios that only have SWC1 and SWC2, in this case “shield” does not need to be connected.
