CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
From the SWC/camera retention harness to the aftermarket radio:
This harness is to be used if the vehicle is equipped with steering wheel controls.
• Connect the Red wire to the accessory wire.
• For the radios listed below: Connect the female 3.5mm connector with stripped leads,
to the male 3.5mm SWC jack from the AXSWC harness. Any remaining wires tape off
and disregard:
• Eclipse: Connect the steering wheel control wire, normally Brown, to the Brown/White
wire from the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire,
normally Brown/White, to the Brown wire from 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 the Kenwood radio auto detects as a JVC, manually set the radio type to
Kenwood. Refer to the Changing Radio Type document available at axxessinterfaces.com.
• 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). Then connect the 4-pin connector from the AX-SWC-PARROT to the radio.
Note: The radio must have 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 from the connector. Then connect the remaining
steering wheel control wire, referred to as Key-B or SWC-2, to the Brown/White wire
from 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 AXSWC harness 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 should connect to.
