CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
3.5mm jack steering wheel control retention:
• For the radios listed below: Connect the included female 3.5mm connector with stripped
leads, to the male 3.5mm SWC jack from the wiring harness included with the kit. 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 from the wiring harness included with
the kit into the jack from the aftermarket radio designated for an external steering
wheel control interface. Please refer to the aftermarket radios manual if in doubt as to
where the 3.5mm jack connects to.

PROGRAMMING THE AXXESS SWC INTERFACE
Programming:
1. Press and hold the “Volume-Up” button on the steering wheel, then turn the ignition on.
The L.E.D. will start flashing rapidly which means the AXXESS SWC interface 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.
2. After a few seconds the L.E.D. should stop flashing rapidly, then go out for approximately
2 seconds.
3. 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 SWC interface.
Tip: Knowing this will help to troubleshoot, if need be.
4. The L.E.D. will pause for another 2 seconds, 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.
5. This is the end of the auto detection stage. If the SWC interface detected the vehicle and the
radio successfully, the L.E.D. will light up solid. Release from holding the Volume-Up button.
6. Test the steering wheel controls for proper operation. Refer to AXXWEEINTERFACES.COM
“Steering wheel control settings” for customizing the buttons, if so desired.

ASWC-1 STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS
L.E.D. Feedback
The (18) Red L.E.D. flashes represent what brand radio the SWC interface 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 Red (5) times, and then stop. Following is a legend that dictates
which radio Manufacturer corresponds to which flash.
*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 to 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 have rev.
2.1.4 or higher software.
† 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 showing as a JVC radio,
change the radio type to Kenwood. The following section explains how to do this.
