Q

What is the difference between this (the ASWC-1) and the AXSWC from Axxcess?

[ JOHN Apr 11, 2023 ]

1 answer

A

I would be happy to assist, John. This ASWC-1 steering wheel control adapter is used to pair many radios we sell to specific vehicle installs to retain steering wheel controls. The AXSWC is a different model steering wheel controller that may be used in different applications and is available at other retailers. We love the ASWC-1 because it is reliable, and works in many different applications! If you use our handy Vehicle Guide in the link below to build your radio package, the ASWC-1 may come up as it is one of our most popular options. I hope this helps! https://www.crutchfield.com/m_266150/Car-Stereos.html

Q

For an old vehicle, can we add a universal steering wheel remote control to a boss head unit that only has a single SWC wire?

[ Paul Apr 03, 2023 ]

1 answer

A

Greetings Paul, and thank you for your question. The Axxess ASWC-1 has a manual programming mode. As long as the Boss stereo is capable of steering wheel controls, and has the input, or input wire, the ASWC-1 can be programmed to control it.

Q

Does this work with a dual xdcpa10bt head unit?

[ Keegan Mar 06, 2023 ]

1 answer

A

I would be happy to help, Keegan. The Dual XDCPA10BT does have a steering wheel control input on the rear. The Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Adapter does have a setting for Dual radios, as well as an auto-detection mode that can be used with some vehicles and aftermarket radios. We cannot guarantee functionality with radios that we do not sell sadly, but all signs point to this controller potentially working with your radio. Any items that do not work or are simply not used can be returned within 60-days for a refund, so you're covered there!

Q

Q

I have a dual xvm286bt. Will this harness work with it?

[ Ben Dec 24, 2022 ]

1 answer

A

Based on the information in the owner's manual of that receiver, it will not work with steering wheel radio control interfaces. Not this one or any others as this Dual receiver does not have the ability to work with them. We offer radios that can work with these interfaces and advisors that can be reached by calling 1-800-324-9695 to get a personal recommendation on a new radio with all the abilities you seek.

Q

Using this with an aftermarket wireless steering wheel control system that has a receiver box. Per the (confusing) instructions, I wired that directly to my receiver, power, and ground. It doesn't seem to work. Do I need this also? Do I need something different? - Chevy Spark 2015 (3rd party controls), Kenwood DDX6706S. Thank You!

[ JORDAN Dec 07, 2022 ]

1 answer

A

It sounds like you are talking about this kit in the link below, the Axxess RFASWC universal kit Jordan. IF so, you do not need something like the ASWC-1, you would only need the RFASWC control kit and a radio that supports steering wheel controls. The Kenwood DDX6706S does show support. If you have it wired correctly try these steps in this order, we show in our info they were printed out of order on page 5 in the instructions for this exact Axxess RFASWC. Try this order: 1.Turn the ignition on and press Volume Up on the RFASWC. This will "marry" the RFASWC to the interface. 2.Turn the ignition on; the LED on the RFASWC interface will start flashing rapidly, which means the RFASWC is looking for the radio. 3.Press and hold volume up as soon as the flashing LEDs begin Also pay attention to this note in the instructions about newer Kenwood radios: Some of the newer Kenwood radios will auto detect as a JVC. If this is the case, either (a) use the included 12k ohm resistor in-line between the Blue/Yellow and Brown wire of the female 3.5mm jack only during programming (once programmed remove the resistor) or (b) you can manually set the radio type, refer to the Changing Radio Type. I hope this helps! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120RFASWC/Axxess-RFASWC-Universal-Steering-Wheel-Controls-Package.html

Q

Will this unit work with my Boss BCPA9685RC?

[ Stan Nov 10, 2022 ]

1 answer

A

When this model Boss radio first came out it was not compatible with the Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Adapter however, since then Axxess has now made this adapter compatible with Boss radios. We did not get a chance to test this out on that particular Boss when we carried it so I can't guarantee that it will work, but it most likely will work. If you would like to give this adapter a try, we do have a 60 day money back guarantee on all products we carry.

I've had this installed for about 5 months. Lately, none of the steering wheel controls will work randomly. Sometimes if I turn of vehicle and turn back on, they will start working again.

I have no idea. Have you contacted the AXXESS people? If you follow their instructions, you shouldn't have to re-program the unit every time you shut down your vehicle and re-start it. Having to do that would completely negate the usefulness of the ASWC-1 unit.

[ Bradley Apr 13, 2019 ]

I'm not sure, my Miata just has a mode button and a volume button on the steering controls. The mode button works, but sometimes it cycles into ATT ON, which isn't even a mode, and then it's hard to get it to cycle back into the correct mode again. The volume up and down seems to work too, but it gets loud too quickly when you hold down the button. I was never very happy with the adapter and just ended up using the controls on the HU instead, but these issues could be the result of the way I wired it up.

[ John Apr 08, 2019 ]

A

Sorry Shane - not sure what the info button is. On my 2005 Dodge Ram it controlled volume, changing tracks and going forward and back on those tracks. Also start, pause and stop of CDs. For radio it allowed all the controls that were on the radio itself: changing and identifying the stations, albums and singers, changing from AM to FM abs going to favorites on both. All of these activities were reflected on the radio display. Basically, every function that was on the backside of the OEM steering wheel. Hope this helps.

It's definitely NOT plug and play, BUT, super easy to install. I was intimidated at first, then read the instructions a couple times and went step by step and it wasn't bad at all. If you got the part number after putting in your year, make, and model, it should work. Remember, if you ever have any issues, you can call Crutchfield's tech line.

[ Jens Sep 13, 2018 ]

Yes, If it dose not work at first, you will need to push the program button next to the L.E.D light, with the radio turend on and the light will stay green and you are set to go. . . . .

Hi Richard. This is merely a system to make your existing steering wheel audio controls work with your new deck. You don't need to open the cover, you just need to plug the wiring harness into the AWC-1 and then wire it in behind your new stereo deck. Also you don't want to plug your phone into this, your phone will be plugged most likely into the USB slot on your new stereo.

I hate to give you a "have you tried this?" answer, but I had some initial trouble getting this unit to work as well. In my case it was flaky overall, and the flakiness turned out to be sensitivity to poor grounding. The best I can do is suggest you try a different source of ground and ensure a good quality ground connection. TBH, the error code issue sounds like a protocol or software timing issue rather than a simple connection problem but that's the best I can do.

The harness adapter that comes with your specific model Axxess will match your OEM connector -- however -- there are more than just a few wires to splice. You must splice all the radios harness wires to the Axxess wire harness, then tap into your OEM radio data line so the SWC can communicate with whatever radio you purchased. If you do not have the skills for this, suggest you contact a qualified professional.

You have to wire by splicing into you radio/factory harness or use t connectors. Easy to install and program once you figure out the wire color code.
