SWC
Tap the SWC icon to program steering wheel functions into the unit.
• Connect the KEY 1 wire and KEY 2 wire of the unit’s SWC line with the
respective positive (+) SWC key wires in the vehicle.
If the vehicle only has one positive (+) SWC connection, connect only one Key
wire (either 1 or 2) and insulate the other Key wire.
1. Press SWC to start.
2. To erase any existing SWC programming, press reset, and then press OK.
3. Press the function on the screen you wish to program.
4. Press and hold the corresponding button on the steering wheel.
(a red tick icon will appear when successfully programmed)
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for every button.
6. Press Save and Exit once every button has been programmed.
NOTE: This unit can be controlled by analogue SWC signals only. If vehicle has a digital SWC system,
a SWC DAC adapter is required for compatibility. If SWC function is not being used, please insulate all
key wires.

13
SWC Questions
If this unit is only compatible with anaologue SWC systems, how do I
tell if the vehicle has an analogue or digital system?
Test 1 - Without the radio SWC wires connected.
With an Ohm meter, probe the SWC positive and SWC negative connection on the
vehicle. Press and hold a button on the steering wheel. If the resistance reading
changes from an open circuit to a steady resistance reading, the SWC system
is analogue. If however the reading changes from an open circuit to a pulsing or
constantly changing reading while the button is held down rmly, the SWC system
is digital. If your vehicle has more than one SWC positive connection, only half of
the buttons on the steering wheel will be connected to each wire, in which case,
you may have to try a few di󰀨erent buttons before you get a reading.
Test 2 - With the radio SWC wires connected.
With a volt meter, probe the SWC positive and SWC negative connection, while
the radio is on. Press and hold a button on the steering wheel. If the voltage
reading drops from 3.3 volts to a lower voltage and remains at that voltage as long
as the button is held down, the SWC system is analogue. If the voltage reading
starts jumping up and down while the button is held down rmly, the SWC system
is digital. If your vehicle has more than one SWC positive connection, only half of
the buttons on the steering wheel will be connected to each wire, in which case,
you may have to try a few di󰀨erent buttons before you get a reading.
What can I do if the vehicle has a digital SWC system?
A CANBUS SWC adaptor will be required to convert the digital signals to
analogue signals.
What if the vehicle does not have any SWC functions or the SWC function is
not needed?
Insulate the key wires.
The SWC wires are connected, but when a button is pushed during the
programming procedure, there is no response from the radio screen.
The vehicle likely uses a digital SWC system, a SWC adaptor will be required.

14
All of the SWC buttons were successfully programmed, but 1 or more
of the buttons do not work.
If 2 or more of the resistors in the steering wheel have resistance values that are
too close to one another, the radio may register the di󰀨erent buttons as the same
button, overwriting 1 or more of the programmed functions. If the radio is unable to
distinguish 2 or more buttons, either the resistors in the steering wheel will need to
be changed to more distinct values; or a SWC adaptor will be required.
Color LED
Tap the ColorLED icon to make adjustments to the I◄◄ & ►►I
button backlighting.
• To active the I◄◄ & ►►I button backlighting when the vehicles lights turn on;
connect the illumination wire to 12V.
• To active the I◄◄ & ►►I button backlighting at all times; go to the Settings icon
on the second Home page, then select General.
Under the Headlight Switch heading, select o󰀨.
