CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

3.5mm jack steering wheel control retention:

The 3.5mm jack is to be used to retain audio controls on the steering wheel.

- For the radios listed below, connect the female 3.5mm connector with stripped leads, to the male 3.5mm SWC jack from the wiring harness included with the kit. Any remaining wires tape off and disregard:

• Eclipse: Connect the steering wheel control wire, normally Brown, to the Brown/White wire of the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire, normally Brown/White, to the Brown wire of the connector.
  • Metra OE: Connect the steering wheel control Key 1 wire(Gray) to the Brown wire.
• Kenwood or select JVC with a steering wheel control wire: Connect the Blue/Yellow wire to the Brown wire.

Note: If your Kenwood radio auto detects as a JVC, manually set the radio type to Kenwood. See the instructions under changing radio type.

• XITE: Connect the steering wheel control SWC-2 wire from the radio to the Brown wire.
• Parrot Asteroid Smart or Tablet: Connect the 3.5mm jack into the AX-SWC-PARROT (sold separately), and then connect the 4-pin connector from the AX-SWC-PARROT into the radio.

Note: The radio must be updated to rev. 2.1.4 or higher software.

- Universal "2 or 3 wire" radio: Connect the steering wheel control wire, referred to as Key-A or SWC-1, to the Brown wire of the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire, referred to as Key-B or SWC-2, to the Brown/White wire of the connector. If the radio comes with a third wire for ground, disregard this wire. Note: After the interface has been programmed to the vehicle, refer to the manual provided with the radio for assigning the SWC buttons. Contact the radio manufacturer for more information

- For all other radios: Connect the 3.5mm jack from the wiring harness included with the kit into the jack on the aftermarket radio designated for an external steering wheel control interface. Please refer to the aftermarket radios manual if in doubt as to where the 3.5mm jack goes to.

INSTALLATION

With the key in the off position:

1. Connect the wiring harness included with the kit to the climate-display/hazard-switch assembly, and then to the wiring harness in the vehicle.
2. Locate the factory antenna connector in the dash and complete all necessary connections to the radio. Use the antenna adapter provided to adapt the factory antenna connector to the aftermarket radio.
3. Connect the wiring harness included with the kit to the ASWC-1.

Attention! If retaining steering wheel controls, ensure that the SWC jack/wire is connected to the radio before proceeding. If this step is skipped, the ASWC-1 will need to be reset for the steering wheel controls to function.

PROGRAMMING THE ASWC-1 AND CLIMATE DISPLAY

Programming the ASWC-1:

1. Press and hold the "Volume-Up" button on the steering wheel, then turn the ignition on. The L.E.D. will start flashing rapidly, which means the ASWC-1 is looking for the vehicle and the radio.

Note: If the L.E.D. didn't start flashing rapidly, press the reset button for 3 seconds, while still holding the "Volume-Up" button.

1. After a few seconds the L.E.D. should stop flashing rapidly, then go out for approximately 2 seconds.
2. After approximately 2 seconds there will be a series of 7 Green flashes, some short, and some long. The long flashes represent the wires that are connected to the ASWC-1.

Tip: Knowing this will help to troubleshoot, if need be.

1. The L.E.D. will pause for another 2 seconds, then flash Red up to 18 times depending on which radio is connected to the ASWC-1. Refer to the L.E.D. feedback section for information.
2. This is the end of the auto detection stage. If the ASWC-I detected the vehicle and the radio successfully, the L.E.D. will light up solid. Release from holding the "Volume-Up" button.
3. Test the steering wheel controls for proper operation. Refer to “(ASWC-1) Steering wheel control settings” for customizing the buttons, if so desired.

Programming the climate display:

1. Turn the parking lights on.
2. Turn the vehicles light dimmer all the way down, then all the way up.
3. Turn the lights off.
4. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

1. Secure the climate control assembly to the dash in reverse order of disassembly using the factory screws.
2. Secure the radio assembly to the dash using the factory screws.
3. Reassemble the dash in reverse order of disassembly to complete the installation.

ASWC-1 STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS

L.E.D. feedback

The (18) Red L.E.D. flashes represent what brand radio the ASWC-1 believes it is connected to. Each flash represents a different radio Manufacturer. For example, if you are installing a JVC radio, the ASWC-1 will flash Red (5) times, and then stop. Following is a legend that dictates which radio Manufacturer corresponds to which flash.

L.E.D. Feedback Legend

Flash Count Radio	Flash Count Radio
1 Eclipse (type 1) †2 Kenwood ‡3 Clarion (type 1) †4 Sony / Dual5 JVC6 Pioneer / Jensen7 Alpine *8 Visteon9 Valor	10 Clarion (type 2) †11 Metra OE12 Eclipse (type 2) †13 LG14 Parrot **15 XITE16 Philips17 TBA18 JBL

* Note: If the Axxess interface flashes Red (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio connected to it, that means the Axxess interface does not detect a radio connected to it. Verify that the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.
** Note: The AX-SWC-PARROT is required (sold separately). Also, the Parrot radio must be updated to rev. 2.1.4 or higher through www.parrot.com.
^ Note: If you have a Clarion radio and the steering wheel controls do not work, change the radio type to the other Clarion radio type; same for Eclipse. The following section explains how to do this.
Note: If you have a Kenwood radio and the L.E.D. feedback comes back showing as a JVC radio, change the radio type to Kenwood. The following section explains how to do this.

Attention: The Axxess Updater App can also be used to program the following (3) sub-sections as well, pending that the Axxess interface has been programmed.

ASWC-1 STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS (CONT.)

Changing radio type

If the L.E.D. flashes do not match the radio you have connected, you must manually program the Axxess interface to tell it what radio it is connected to.

1. After (3) seconds of turning the key on, press and hold the "Volume-Down" button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. in the Axxess interface goes solid.
2. Release the "Volume-Down" button; the L.E.D. will go out indicating the Axxess interface is in "Changing Radio Type" mode.
3. Refer to the Radio Legend to know which radio number you would like to have programmed.
4. Press and hold the "Volume-Up" button until the L.E.D. goes solid, and then release. Repeat this step for the desired radio number you have selected.
5. Once the desired radio number has been selected, press and hold the "Volume-Down" button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid. The L.E.D. will remain on for about (3) seconds while it stores the new radio information.
6. Once the L.E.D. goes out, the "Changing Radio Type" mode will then end. You can now test the steering control wheel controls.

Note: If at any time the user fails to press any button for a period longer than (10) seconds, this process will abort.

ASWC-1 STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS (CONT.)

Remapping the steering wheel control buttons

Once the ASWC-1 has been programmed, the button assignment for the steering wheel controls may be reassigned if so desired. For example, if the "Seek-Up" button is preferred to be the "Mute" button instead. Follow the steps below to remap the steering wheel control buttons.

1. Ensure the Axxess interface is visible so you can see the L.E.D. flashes to confirm button recognition.
   Tip: Turning the radio off is recommended.
2. Within the first twenty seconds of turning the ignition on, press and hold the "Volume-Up" button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid.
3. Release the "Volume-Up" button, the L.E.D. will then go out; The "Volume-Up" button has now been programmed.
4. Follow the list in the Button Function Legend to reference the order in which the steering wheel control buttons need to be programmed.

Note: If the next function on the list is not on the steering wheel, press the "Volume-Up" button for (1) second until the L.E.D. comes on to skip that function, and then release the "Volume-Up" button. This will tell the Axxess interface that this function is not available, and it will move on to the next function.

1. To complete the remapping process, press and hold the "Volume-Up" button until the L.E.D. in the Axxess interface goes out.
