12-pin pre-wired ASWC-1 harness:
This harness is only to be used along with the ASWC-1 (sold separately) to retain
handlebar audio controls. Please note that “handlebar control” is also referred to as
“steering wheel control”.
• For the radios listed below, connect the included female 3.5mm connector with
stripped leads provided with the ASWC-1, to the male 3.5mm SWC jack. Any
remaining wires tape off and disregard:
• Eclipse: Connect the steering wheel control wire, normally Brown, to the
Brown/White wire of the connector. Then connect the remaining steering
wheel control wire, normally Brown/White, to the Brown wire of the connector.
• 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.
• 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 of the connector. Then
connect the remaining steering wheel control wire, referred to as Key-B or
SWC-2, to the Brown/White wire of 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 into the jack on the aftermarket
radio designated for an external steering wheel control interface. Please refer to

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
• Program the ASWC-1:
a. Turn the ignition on, the LED will start flashing rapidly, which means the ASWC-1
is looking for the vehicle and the radio.
Note: If the LED did not start flashing rapidly, press the reset button for 3 seconds .
b. After a few seconds the LED should stop flashing rapidly, and then go out for
approximately 2 seconds.
c. 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.
Tip: Knowing this will help to troubleshoot, if need be.
d. The LED 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.
e. This is the end of the auto detection stage. If the ASWC-1 detected the vehicle
and the radio successfully, the L.E.D. will light up solid.
f. Test the handlebar controls for proper operation. Refer to the “Programming
Information” document online at axxessinterfaces.com for customizing the
buttons, if so desired.
L.E.D. Feedback
The (18) Red L.E.D. flashes represent which brand radio the ASWC-1 is connected to. Each flash
represents a different radio manufacturer. For example, if you are installing a JVC radio, the
ASWC-1 will flash Red (5) times, and then stop. Following is a legend that dictates which radio
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: 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 handlebar controls do not work, change the radio type to the
other Clarion radio type; same for Eclipse. Refer to the “Programming Information” document online .
‡ 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. Refer to the “Programming Information” document online.
