Section 1: Installation

Installing the ASWC

1) ConnecttheBlackwireoftheASWCtoground.Youmayusethesamegroundingpointastheaftermarketradio.

2) ConnecttheRedwireoftheASWCtoa12-voltaccessorywire,onethatturns“on”and“off”withtheignitionkey.

3) LocatethecorrectSWCwire(s)inthevehicle’sradioprimaryorsecondaryharnessasdescribedinthevehicleinformationsheetfoundontheAxxesswebsite.Connectthecorrectwirecolor(s)fromtheASWCtothesteeringwheelcontrolwire(s)inthevehicle.

Note: Metra recommends that the wire(s) are soldered for the best and most secure connection. T-Taps or scotch locks are not recommended due to the higher chance of an intermitted connection or change in resistive values.

Section 1: Installation

4) IfyouareusinganEclipse,Kenwood,MetraOE,oranewerJVCradio,plugtheincludedfemale3.5mmconnectorwiththeBrown

andBrown/Whitewiresintothemale3.5mmconnectoroftheASWCharness.

• For Kenwood and select JVC: ConnecttheSWCwire(normallyBlue/Yellow)totheBrownwireoftheASWC.IsolateandtapetheBrown/Whitewire,itwillnotbeused.

Note: Some newer Kenwood radios will auto detect as a JVC. If this is the case, you can use a 12k-ohm resistor (included) in line between the Blue/Yellow and Brown wire of the female 3.5 mm jack during programming only. Or you can manually set the radio type which is in the radio programming section of this manual.

• For Eclipse:ConnecttheEclipseSWCwires(normallyBrown

andBrown/Black)totheBrownandBrown/WhitewiresoftheASWC. BrowngoestoBrownandBrown/WhitegoestoBrown/Black.Sometimesthisisreversed,reversethewiresifneeded.

• For Metra OE: ConnecttheSWCKey1wire(Gray)totheBrown

Section 3: Troubleshooting

Note: Not every radio will have all the possible SWC commands on the steering wheel. Aftermarket radios that do not have Bluetooth will not recognize the PTT (Push To Talk) or “On/”off” Hook” commands; however those buttons can be manually programmed to do other commands in some cases. Please refer to the radio owner’s manual or wireless remote for specific commands that the radio will recognize.

Note: Not all radios will have all of these commands. Please refer to the radio owner’s manual or contact the radio vendor directly for specific commands recognized by that particular radio.

If the next function on the list is not on the steering wheel press the “Volume Up” button for 1 second, until the LED comes on, then release the button. This tells the ASWC that the function is not available will move on to the next function.

*Note (section B): If the ASWC flashes 7 times and you do not have an Alpine radio connected to it that means that the ASWC did not see any radio connected. Verify the 3.5 mm connector is connected to the SWC input on the radio.
