  • 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 from the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire, referred to as Key-B or SWC-2, to the Brown/White wire from 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 6543 harness to 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

Attention! It is highly advisable to read the following steps beforehand, to ensure a clear understanding of what is to be expected. The following steps must be done in the order that they are numbered.

With the vehicle completely off:

1. Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads into port "B" in the touchscreen display.

2. Connect the 6543 harness to the wiring harnesses in the vehicle. Then insert the 6543 harness into port "A" in the touchscreen display. But do not install this harness until exactly before step 1 from the Programming section. This is a timed process

3. Connect the 4-pin harness with yellow RCA jacks into port "C" in the touchscreen display.

4. Connect the hazard harness (LD-CHRYHAZ2) 10-pin connector into port "D" in the touchscreen display, and then to the wiring harness in the vehicle.

Note: Be sure to plug in the 8-pin connector from the climate control. The touchscreen also uses the same connector. Using the wrong connector will cause a jam with the vehicles CANBUS.

1. Disregard port "E" it will not be used in this application.
2. Port "F" is an update port for future firmware upgrades.
3. 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.

JVC

* Note: If the interface shows an Alpine radio, and you do not have an Alpine radio, that means the interface does not detect a radio connected it, i.e., an open connection. 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.
† Note: If you have a Kenwood radio and the touchscreen display shows a JVC radio, change the radio type to Kenwood.
