1. Press and hold the Volume Up button on the steering wheel.
2. Turn the ignition on, the L.E.D. in the ASWC-1 interface will start flashing rapidly, which
means the ASWC-1 interface is looking for the vehicle and the radio.
3. After a few seconds the L.E.D. should stop flashing rapidly, then go out for approximately 2
seconds.
4. After 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 from the vehicle to the ASWC-1
interface. The 3rd, 4th, 5th , and 6th flashes should be longer.
5. 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 interface. Refer to the L.E.D. Feedback section for
more information.
6. This is the end of the auto detection stage. If the ASWC-1 interface detected the vehicle and
radio successfully, the L.E.D. will light up solid. If not, refer to the troubleshooting documents
available at axxessinterfaces.com/product/ASWC-1.
7. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation before reassembling the dash.
Refer to the ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control documents available at
axxessinterfaces.com/product/ASWC-1 for customizing the buttons, if so desired.
Note: If the factory radio has been relocated to retain the vehicle settings, hold the Mode
button on the steering wheel for 8-10 seconds until a chime is heard from the outboard
chime speaker. The steering wheel control buttons will now control the factory radio instead.
To revert back to aftermarket radio control, hold the Mode button again for 8-10 seconds.

L.E.D. Feedback
The (18) Red L.E.D. flashes represent the brand of radio the ASWC-1 interface believes it is
connected to. Each flash count represents a different radio Manufacturer. For example, if you
are installing a JVC radio, the ASWC-1 interface will flash Red (5) times, then stop. Following is a
legend that explains which radio Manufacturer corresponds to the flash count provided.
L.E.D. feedback legend
* If the ASWC-1 interface flashes Red (7) times, and an Alpine radio is not installed, that means
an open connection. Verify that the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel
jack/wire in the radio.
** The AX-SWC-PARROT is required (sold separately). Also, the software in the radio must be rev.
2.1.4 or higher.
† If a Clarion radio is installed and the steering wheel controls do not function, change the radio
type to the opposite Clarion radio type; likewise for Eclipse. Refer to the Changing Radio Type
document available at axxessinterfaces.com/product/ASWC-1.
‡ If a Kenwood radio is installed and the L.E.D. feedback comes back showing as a JVC radio,
change the radio type to Kenwood. Refer to the Changing Radio Type document available at
axxessinterfaces.com/product/ASWC-1.
