INSTALLATION PREPARATION I NS TALL ATI ON (CONT.)
From axxessinterfaces.com, submit the vehicle information in the box titled Vehicle Fit Guide &
ASWC-1 Install Instructions, then select GET PARTS. This will take you to a page where you will be
notified if your vehicle will work or not with the ASWC-1 interface. If the interface is compatible,
there will be a link under the green bar titled ASWC-1 **** Wiring Instructions. Click on this link
to open the PDF document for your specific vehicle. Print this document to have with you in the
vehicle during the installation.
Note: Though we have done extensive research, testing, and verifying that the steering wheel
control wires from the vehicles listed are correct, it is still the Installer’s responsibility to verify
that the steering wheel control wires are truly correct. If a discrepancy is found, please notify our
Tech Department at 1-800-253-TECH, or [e-mail].

the radio for assigning the SWC buttons. Contact the radio manufacturer for more information
.
