• Connect the chime speaker to the AX-LR90102 chime retention Interface.
• Connect the AX-LR90102 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle. The Green 10-pin harness
will connect at the display screen. The Gray 14-pin harness will connect at the CD Drive .
• Connect the ASWC-1 harness to the ASWC-1 interface, and then to the AX-LR90102 interface.
INSTALLING THE AX-LR90102 INTERFACE
• Press and hold the Volume-Up button on the steering wheel.
• Turn the ignition on, the L.E.D. in the ASWC-1 interface will start flashing rapidly, which
means the ASWC-1 is looking for the vehicle and the radio.
Note: If the L.E.D. did not start flashing rapidly, press the reset button for 3 seconds , while
still holding the Volume-Up button
.
• After a few seconds the L.E.D. should stop flashing rapidly, and then go out for
approximately 2 seconds.
• 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. The 3rd,
4th, 5th, and 6th flashes should be longer.
Tip: Knowing this will help to troubleshoot, if need be.
• The L.E.D. will pause for another 2 seconds, and 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.
• This is the end of the auto detection stage. Release from holding the Volume-Up button.
If the ASWC-1 detected the vehicle and the radio successfully, the L.E.D. will light up solid.
• Test the steering wheel controls for proper operation. Refer to the ASWC-1 instructions online
at axxessinterfaces.com for customizing the buttons, if so desired.

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 (5) times. Following is a legend that
dictates which manufacturer corresponds to which flash.
L.E.D. feedback legend
* Note: If the ASWC-1 flashes Red (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio connected to it, that means the ASWC-1 does
not detect a radio connected it. Verify that the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.
** Note: Part number 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 as showing as a JVC radio, change the radio type to a
Kenwood. The following section explains how to do this.
1 flash - Eclipse (Type 1) †
2 flashes - Kenwood ‡
3 flashes - Clarion (Type 1) †
4 flashes - Sony / Dual
5 flashes - JVC
6 flashes - Pioneer / Jensen
7 flashes - Alpine *
8 flashes - Visteon
9 flashes - Valor
10 flashes - Clarion (Type 2) †
