The Installation
Once you have collected the information or printed out the information sheet on your particular ve-
hicle from the Axxess website (www.axxessinterface.com) you’re ready to install the ASWC.
So here we go:
1) Connect the Black wire of the ASWC (pin 6) to ground. You may use the same grounding point as
the aftermarket radio.
2) Connect the Red wire of the ASWC (pin 12) to a 12 volt accessory wire, one that turns on and off
with the ignition key.
3) Locate the correct SWC wire(s) in the vehicles radio or secondary harness as described in the
vehicle information sheet found in the Axxess website. Connect the correct wire color(s) from the
ASWC to the vehicles steering wheel control wire(s) in the vehicle.
We recommend that the wires are soldered for the best and most secure connection. T-Taps are not
recommended due to the higher chance of an intermitted connection (this means you Zack).
4) If you are using an Eclipse or Kenwood radio, plug the female 3.5mm connector with the Brown
and Brown/White wires into the male 3.5mm connector of the ASWC harness.
* For Kenwood radios: Connect the Kenwood SWC wire (normally Blue/Yellow) to the Brown
wire of the ASWC. Isolate and tape the Brown/White wire, it will not be used.
* For Eclipse radios: Connect the Eclipse SWC wires (Normally Brown and Brown/Black) to the
Brown and Brown/White wires of the ASWC. Brown goes to Brown and Brown/White goes to Brown/
Black.
5) For all other radios, plug in the male 3.5mm connector of the ASWC into the back of the
aftermarket radio, designated for an external SWC control interface. Please refer to the aftermarket
radios manual if you are in doubt where the 3.5mm connector of the ASWC goes.
Once all connections have been made, plug in the aftermarket radio if not done already.
Programming the ASWC
The ASWC can be programmed in two ways; it can do it by itself in Auto Detect Mode or it can be
manuallyprogrammed.WewillstartwiththeAutoDetectModerst:
Auto Detect Mode:
The ASWC has the ability to auto detect certain vehicles and to know what aftermarket radio it is
connected to. The vehicle info sheet from the Axxess website (www.axxessinterface.com) will show if
your vehicle would be auto detected and what action, if any, is required by you for this process to take
place.
