CONNECTIONS TO BE MADE (CONT.)
Backup camera harness:
For models with a 4.2-inch display screen:
• Use the 12-pin backup camera harness.
For models with an 8-inch display screen:
• Use the 54-pin backup camera harness.
There are two different methods for connecting the factory backup camera.
If retaining the camera to the aftermarket radio is desired:
• Connect the Yellow RCA jack the backup camera input of the aftermarket radio.
If retaining the camera to the touchscreen display is desired:
• Connect the Yellow RCA jack, to the Yellow RCA jack from the 4-pin harness with yellow RCA
jacks labeled “Rearview camera”.
Note:
If this method is chosen, the backup camera option must be enabled in the
Configuration Settings Screen.
4-pin harness with yellow RCA jacks:
• If retaining the factory backup camera to the touchscreen display is desired, connect the Yellow
RCA jack labeled “Rearview camera”, to the Yellow RCA jack from the 12-pin or 54-pin backup
camera harness.
• Disregard the Yellow RCA jack labeled “AUX video”, it will not be used in this application.
3.5mm jack steering wheel control retention:
• The 3.5mm jack is to be used to retain audio controls on the steering wheel control.
• For the radios listed below, connect the included
female 3.5mm connector with stripped leads, to
the male 3.5mm SWC jack from the 5834 harness. 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.
Note: If your Kenwood radio auto detects as a JVC, manually set the radio type to Kenwood.
See the instructions under changing radio type.
• 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 port on the radio designated for an external
steering wheel control interface. Refer to the manual provided with the radio if in doubt as to where
the 3.5mm jack goes to.

It is highly advisable to read the following steps beforehand, to ensure a clear understanding of
what is to be expected. The following steps must be done in the order that they are numbered.
With the vehicle completely off:
Touchscreen display
1. Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads into port “B” in the touchscreen display.
2. Connect the 5834 harness to the wiring harnesses in the vehicle. These harnesses are
the ones removed in step 7 of dash disassembly. Then insert the 5834 harness into port
“A” in the touchscreen display. But do not install this harness until exactly before step 1
of “Initializing the Interface”. This is a timed process.
3. Connect the
4-pin harness with yellow RCA jacks into port “C” in the
touchscreen display.
4. Disregard ports “D” and “E”, they will not be used in this application.
5. Port “F” is an update port for future firmware upgrades.

HVAC interface
6. Connect the HVAC interface harness into the HVAC interface , and then to the
wiring harnesses in the vehicle. These harnesses are the ones removed in step 4
of dash disassembly.
Note: Disregard the 10-pin harness, it will not be used in this application .
7. Connect the 4-pin flat to 4-pin stacked harness into the HVAC interface , and then to
the passenger airbag light assembly.
8. Connect the male DIN connector with a 6-pin harness , to the female DIN jack from the
5834 harness . It would be best to tape or heat shrink this connector to prevent it from
being disconnected.
a. Then connect the 6-pin harness into the HVAC interface .
b. Disregard the Red wire, it will not be used in this application.
9. (a) For models with a 4.2-inch display screen: Connect the 12-pin backup camera
harness , to the wiring harness in the vehicle. This harness is the one removed in step 5
of dash disassembly.
(b) For models with an 8-inch display screen: Connect the female connector of the
54-pin backup camera harness , to the wiring harness in the vehicle. This connector is
located behind the factory display screen, which was removed in step 5 of
dash disassembly.
Note: Disregard the male connector, it will not be used in this application .
10. Locate the factory antenna connector in the dash and complete all necessary connections
to the radio. Metra recommends using the proper mating adapter from Metra.
INSTALLING THE INTERFACE

INITIALIZING THE INTERFACE FINAL ASSEMBLY
Attention! If the interface loses power for any reason, the following steps will need to be
performed again.
1. Refer to step 2 of “Installing the interface”.
2. Press the push-to-start button to start the vehicle.
3. Program the kit:
a. Once the touchscreen display loads up, select the vehicle type; “Ford F-150”.
b. Wait until the radio comes on, and the touchscreen display shows “SWC Configured*”. This
process may take up to 3 minutes.
Note: If the touchscreen display does not load up, or the radio doesn’t come on within 3
minutes, and/or the touchscreen display does not show “SWC Configured*”, turn the vehicle
off and disconnect the 5838 harnesses from port “A” in the touchscreen display. Check all the
connections, reconnect the harness into the touchscreen display, and then try again.
* For models with steering wheel controls.
4. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.
1. Secure the completed assembly into the upper dash using the factory hardware removed in
step 5 of dash disassembly.
2. Snap the radio trim panel with touchscreen display over the completed assembly, and then
reassemble the dash in reverse order of disassembly.
