Great add-on
James from CLERMONT, FL on 11/6/2019
2013 Honda Civic LX
I have a 2013 Honda Civic with steering wheel controls for source, track, volume and answering/ending blue tooth cell phone calls. I used this Axxess interface to connect my new Pioneer MVH-S622BS receiver to the steering wheel controls. It worked perfectly, programming was super easy and the interface recognized the new deck almost instantly. I only had to connect power and ground and the two input wires from the steering wheel connector behind the radio. I did not connect the wires for answering cell phone calls, it is easier for me to just use the phone functions on the radio itself.
Pros: Works great and really adds value and convenience to my new system. The part is super small, easy to mount in the dash near the radio opening.
Cons: None at all.

I installed this in my 2013 Nissan versa sv. The instructions were a little different to understand but the device works great with my vehicle. I got the steering wheel controls to work with a Pioneer MVH-210EX.
Pros: Works well with system, automatic configuration with car and radio.
Cons: A lot of extra and unused wires with little explanation.

Crutchfield customer from BEACHWOOD, OH on 10/27/2019
2017 Nissan Sentra
Worked great for 2017 Nissan Sentra (with base radio). Word of warning, if you have the base nissan connector (with 2 resistive wires for SWC), make sure you read the pin instructions carefully. For example, when connecting to the factory-harness in the car for the SWC, pin 6 is dk.gn., pin 15 is pink, and pin 16 is lt.blu. It is is the mirror image pinout of the instructions that come with the unit itself. Thanks to the great tech-support that helped solve that problem, They answered right away and were very helpful - would buy again just for that!
Pros: GREAT customer service
Cons: Instructions should more clearly indicate pinout is mirror image.

Complex Programming
Alex from INDIANAPOLIS, IN on 10/7/2019
2005 Mazda 6
Simple to wire once you have tracked down the necessary information from the manufacturers website. Auto programming did not function. Manual button assignment did not work. Finally had things mostly working by trying a variety of the programming options by manufacturer since my specific head unit brand was not on their list. In the end it works but messing with getting it set up and functioning took longer than the whole rest of the installation process combined.

Crutchfield customer from Catonsville, MD on 10/6/2019
2012 Subaru Forester
Relatively easy install for the average DIY to install. Only had to splice 5 wires. Responsive customer service (via email). During initial install, my hands-free buttons (on/off hook, PTT) were mapped to the adapter, but did not function. After working with customer service and running through manual install, I realized the problem was the HU and not the adapter. The aftermarket HU did not have the ability to do remote BT handsfree functionality , only from the main screen (and no possibility of PTT while using BT). All the functionality problems I had with my steering wheel controls were the result of the HU I bought and not the ASWC-1 adapter.

Product did not work with 2012 Nissan Titan. Tried for several hours trying to get it to work. Crutchfield tech support was no help. Axxess tech support was no help. Even he became frustrated. Would not recommend this item for a Titan of my year. Crutchfield should stop bundling this part of their recommended stereo package.
Pros: Absolutely none.
Cons: Hard to figure out wiring with bare bones instructions. Had to call too many tech supports to ultimately not get it working.

Works, but instructions are unclear
Justin from Ft Collins, CO on 10/4/2019
2013 GMC Sierra
Used this with the door chime and On Star module for a GMC Sierra, the Axxess GMOS-LAN-01 Wiring Interface. The instructions are unclear on both parts, and how they work together. The ASWC-1 comes with a wire harness, and a smaller wire harness. The main wire harness gets discarded to use the other wire harness that comes with the GMOS-LAN-01 interface. The problem is nothing is clear on the instructions for each piece. There is a lot of guess work with these two parts to make them work together. Everything now functions as it should, but the muddy instructions are very unlike most harness experiences I've had with Crutchfield in the past.
Pros: steering wheel controls function
Cons: wiring harness unnecessary, Crutchfield directions just tell you to look up manufacturer directions. Manufacturer directions are very unclear.

Didn't work for me
Crutchfield customer from Lawrence, NE on 9/28/2019
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
I hooked it up properly and it didn't work... I called Axxess directly and verified I wired it right... the very rude guy on the phone treated me like a idiot and told me I needed to pull it out and download new updates to it to make it work... I didn't figure I needed to work for audio shop to install this??? Also all the instructions are online... can't you send a paper one?? I didn't have the means to hook it up to a computer... so I currently have a pricey part installed but no stealing wheel controls ??
Pros: ...
Cons: Instructions are all online a kinda confusing. Customer Service from Axxess was terrible. Didn't work because I need to update it?? It's what was given to me for My vehicle for My stereo I purchased!!

this product is difficult , had to splice into the car wire harness, and still don't work. for the steering wheel the only thing that works is the up on the volume button not the down, very unhappy with this. the Crutchfield team did everything they could do. very happy with them. maybe i had a bad one. don't know and tired of fooling with it. even to lazy to take out of my car, meaning take it all apart and re splice the 2 wires i cut into.

Crutchfield customer from Orlando, FL on 9/21/2019

Happy with the product; however, upon install it failed to work properly. It was self programing; however, on the Steering Wheel buttons functions were reversed. Volume up and down were backwards and on the channel up and down buttons. The mode button switched between all options of the receiver. The channel up and down controlled the volume; however, it was reversed. I had to disassemble the dash and reset the unit, after speaking with Tech Support from Crutchfield. Reset unit, works GREAT!!!! Only received 4 stars due to having to dismantle dash and reset unit!
Pros: Easy install, especially with Metra Vehicle Specific Wiring Harness (totally worth price). Self Programing. Works great, as described.
Cons: Had to reset unit after install; removing entire dash kit to get to unit. Although Tech Support did assist, they seemed puzzled in how to resolve the issue and vague. I ended up taking everything back out and resetting entire unit. That worked, however, took extra time.

It works for most functions
Crutchfield customer from Duluth, GA on 9/8/2019
2012 Subaru Impreza
Once I got the wiring done correctly it worked great. There are some tricks to figuring out what the issue might be. The Crutchfield tech team helped me figure it out. During the initial green flashes some of them will stay on slightly longer than the others. This means that wire number is receiving signal/connected. In my case one of the taps was bad so this helped me figure out which wire I needed to reconnect. The count of red flashes match to the turner you bought. If the flashes go over 20 that means it doesn't know what tuner you have. Make sure you have a good connection with the SWC port.

Cumbersome & Quirky
Crutchfield customer from Makawao, HI on 8/29/2019
2003 Nissan Frontier
I'm an electronics technician and very comfortable with wiring, installation, and device programming. This product is JUNK. The instructions are poor, so after watching Crutchfield's YouTube video, I gave it another go. The programming is NOT automatic and couldn't be more cumbersome for my '03 Nissan Frontier & Sony WX-902BT. I spent nearly 2 hours of frustration to get it somewhat working. To this day, my volume down button is still squirrely- it works, but if I hold it more than a second, my receiver will switch source modes. I don't even want to think about what will happen the next time I disconnect my battery for vehicle maintenance. My AWSC-1 adapter is tucked behind the receiver, so I can't see the dim red light to reprogram it. This is a 1 star product that I gave 2 stars because my steering wheel controls do work- somewhat.
Pros: Simple wiring.
Cons: Frustrating programming.

It worked great in my 2017 Nissan Titan. All controls work. Now crutchfield doesn't program the module when they send it out. You have to go on axxess website to program it to make it work which can get difficult. Also if you have crutch field do the harness install they will or atleast in my case they forgot to hook up the power wire so I was not getting any power to my module. Overall the product works.

The instructions for my 2003 Jeep on the Axxess website were technically correct, but lacking in some specifics about patching in the data cable that made things confusing. Once that was figured out it programmed itself to work with the steering wheel controls on the first try.

Make sure you get the Metra Harness it makes this a plug and play. Crutchfield already had the Metra Harness connected for me to I just had to plug in the controller. The controller can be updated on a computer as well using a mini-usb cable. To use the reset button you need a paper clip to reach in the hole. The response time is pretty good as well.

Works. May not be an easy install.
Crutchfield customer from Forest Hill, MD on 7/2/2019
2010 Subaru Outback
This device is REALLY fussy about grounding when detecting resistance based steering wheel controls. After trying vampire taps, and various grounding methods, then getting another connector to add the pins I needed to the Metra Subaru 20 pin interface, and soldering the pin leads to the wires for the Axxess device, and then trying a couple more variations on how to ground the power ground and signal ground ... it now works flawlessly. Detected my car on the first try, of the 7th installation. Crutchfield connector power negative already wired in, and the magic sauce for me was to ground the signal ground wire to the car frame and use a 3M 905 quick splice to tie those two together. The blinky lights really do tell you a lot if you pay attention.
Pros: Blinky lights are helpful. There are instructions for everything about this device. Tucked away behind my stereo I feel pretty confident that it will work reliably for a long time now. Once it figures out your car, it remembers.
Cons: Programming interface is tedious. Auto detection does not always detect, and that can be very depressing.

When I finally finished installing, it worked perfectly. The problem is that I didn't thoroughly read the instructions, and made mistakes. Enough mistakes to call it a comedy of errors. Actually embarrassing. I had to call the customer support line, they were great (and patient). I highly recommend paying the Crutchfield fee to setup the harness.
Pros: It Just Works Excellent support

Pros: Works as expected.
Cons: Initial setup, easily remedied with info on website.

Crutchfield customer from Phoenix, AZ on 6/2/2019
2015 Honda Civic LX
This may work well for a vehicle that has been tested for installation. I purchased this with a ready made harness so that I would be able to quickly connect everything without having to alter the factory harness. The unit will connect to the head unit however the wiring is setup on the ready harness differently. The manufacture does not have instructions for the car side to be hooked up and has not tested this kit on the 2015 Civic LX model. Even all of there instructions for this kit show a Gen 8 Honda connection under the dash. Still no response back from the manufacture directly. 9 days and counting!
Pros: Unit will connect to stereo and if you have to reprogram the small unit itself it is fairly simple to do with a PC
Cons: Not tested for my vehicle even when the Crutchfield website listed it for my model and the ready made harness did not come with anything to hook into or directions for the steering controls on vehicle side.

Works as intended, on my Ford Freestyle there was no need to program and the buttons work as fast as they did with the OEM radio. Only complaint was the vehicle specific instructions were just plain old hard to follow being in 3 columns. A traditional multi page instructions manual would be better.
Pros: Works exactly as you would expect on my Ford Freestyle.
Cons: Instructions could be more intuitive.

Needed an 1K ohm resistor
Andrew from Lilburn, GA on 5/13/2019
1998 BMW 5 Series
I retrofitted my BMW 3 series(E36) with a steering wheel from a 5 series (E39) that has radio and cruise control buttons on it. I had to add a 1k ohm resistor between the red and pink wires on the ASWC-1 to make it would work. The steering wheel swap was really easy the buttons only needed power and gound to work. The buttons generate the commands for the I-Bus to control the factory radio, but the bus input pin on the radio is powered, by adding the resistor it allows the ASWC-1 to see the signal from the steering wheel buttons.
Pros:
Cons: Resistor info is apparently known, but not mentioned in the instructions.

Sounds good in theory. Directions aren't clear as to which adapter you are pulling which wire from. Also, it appears that there seems to be variation of wire colors. I'm a fairly smart guy and I can not for the life of me figure out how to hook this thing up. I've called support twice and they are very kind and very helpful, but there is just a disconnect and I can't figure it out. I'd return it but I dumped all of the packaging. I'm going to probably either stick it on a shelf somewhere or pay a local shop to install this thing.

Maybe it's me
Crutchfield customer from Oak Harbor, WA on 4/29/2019
2006 Ford Expedition
I hesitate to write a review because I have not reached out for tech support yet. I got the prewired harness with this wiring included. It appears to me that the wiring was done correctly and better than I would have done. The unit has a reset hole and another with a led that flashes multiple signals to tell you certain things. The instructions lead you through the code flashes. Mine ultimately says it does not recognize the Jensen radio. There is a reset procedure but that hasn't worked yet either. I will take the dash apart soon and see what else can be done with tech support. In the mean time I can just reach a little farther and turn the knob on the radio. I wanted the steering wheel controls to work but wouldn't mess with this again and would send it back if I didn't have to take the connector out of the prewire harness
Pros:
Cons: Aggravating. Just wanted to install it and have it work. Not crazy about the instructions either. Count the lights,

Crutchfield customer from Newbury, NH on 4/24/2019
2014 Subaru Forester
Our Subaru has steering wheel controls that you forget how nice it is to have them until you put a radio in that does not support the controls. This clever device got all but the phone controls back up and running. I have to point out that the wiring is tough for us beginners , hang in there reread the directions a few more times you will get it. At first try the controls did not work but as a friend once told me "if.its electrical and not working make sure you have good ground". Sure enough rechecked ground and all was good
Pros: Great having steering wheel controls back with new radio
Cons: Tricky to install

Crutchfield customer from Dublin, OH on 4/23/2019

This was the hardest part of the install for me and I could never get the Axxess-provided programming instructions to work. It automatically synced with my car for volume, scan, and source, but my attempts to re-program it to jump between preset stations instead of scanning never worked, even though I followed their provided instructions. Fortunately my headunit has settings that allowed me to control this so in the end I was able to make it work, but not through the Axxess adapter itself. Also, to be clear, this makes AUDIO buttons work, not Bluetooth; that is a separate module at an additional cost.

I installed this on a 09 370Z. I used a Sony radio. It works great for changing the radio presets and volume. I can't get it to change tracks on CarPlay or cds and presets. If I change the settings to change tracks it changes it to only change to the next station not preset. Overall I am happy with it because I would rather change presets and volume than tracks.
Pros: Let's you use steering controls again.
Cons: Have to decide if you want it to change presets or tracks not both.

Intermittent functionality, unreliable!
Samantha from Sewell, NJ on 4/21/2019
I'm on my second of these SWC-1s, and I will not be buying a third! The first one I had worked without issue for about 6 months. The volume up / down and answer call / end call buttons then began to work intermittently. Onto the second unit, and it worked without issue for about a week before the same intermittent functionality began. I updated my headunit and both of the SWC-1s, and that buys me about a day of all of the steering wheel controls working... The SWC-1s refuse to behave reliably. Very obnoxious. I'll be trying another company's module.

Works out of the box if you CAREFULLY follow the directions
Crutchfield customer from Canoga Park, CA on 4/18/2019
2010 Nissan 370Z
It works. This is my first installation of a steering wheel control and the instructions are quite clear that the leads should be soldered in, which I did. I think that's probably why it worked out of the box. That being said, this was the most stressful part of the installation. Personally, I think the accompanying Metra harness should be available with steering wheel control wires so you don't have to cut into the harness. Also, my particular installation required loopbacks for the blue tooth connections at the bluetooth transmitter in the trunk. Fortunately Axxess makes the plug becuse cutting the wires in that connector would have made this a much more complex job.
Pros: Does what it says. It autodiscovered my wheel controls.
Cons: I would have liked to see more than pin information. It would have been helpful to have wire colors in addition so the pins/wires can be validated. You do have to cut the harness wires and this is not to be taken lightly. More informaiton rather than less would have reduced the stress level. I don't do this for a living.

2007 Pontiac Solstice
Lets me keep the steering wheel controls on my Pontiac Solstice GXP after installing an Alpine iLX-W650 head unit. Installing the adapter was a little tricky, as I was missing some necessary information. I had to call tech support to program the unit, the tech, Charles, was very helpful. For some cars, like my Solstice with OnStar, you have to begin the auto programming, which will fail and activate OnStar instead of the volume controls, then cancel OnStar, and hold the volume down button while restarting the auto-programming process. Once I learned this, I was able to get it working quickly. The only complaint I have is that I was not able to override one feature using the custom programming phone app. I don't use OnStar, so I wanted to re-purpose the PTT long-press, but for some reason I was not able with that specific action.
Pros: - Kept all my steering wheel controls - USB to OTG app interface is really slick
Cons: - Wasn't able to reprogram the PTT button with the android app

Works really well with my Subaru Outback. All buttons on steering wheel are functioning, even the voice command button activates Siri on my iphone. Pleased with product.

I had to speak with Crutchfield staff to find the most helpful instructions.
Pros: Very functional. Crutchfield staff helpful for questions.
Cons: Wiring instructions take some time to figure out. Axxess staff take forever to get on the phone and sound irritated to talk to you.

Crutchfield recommended this adapter for the Axxera AV6118Bi. The manual recommends the PAC SWC adapter. Maybe that's why I'm having trouble with this one. They're the same price so why not recommend the correct one in the first place? I may just give up on the steering wheel controls but then I have to admit that I wasted my money on it. I've used Crutchfield in the past with good results. This time around it's been a disaster. My dash has been apart for days and I'm no closer to making this thing work.

This did not work for me despite a lengthy conversation and walk-thru (including a hard reset) with customer service.

I emailed my technician to let her know it never connected for me, and never received a response.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do. No problems at all with wiring or operation. Very expensive luxury in my opinion though. This is almost as expensive by itself as the radio you may be purchasing.

Total waste of money! This adapter cost this much and is in no way a plug and play item.

Pros: Easy to you Worked as intended
Cons: None

Worked immediately, no issues
W from Long Island, NY on 2/24/2019
2014 Subaru Forester
Their website has detailed instructions for installs in your specific make/model of car. The install was super easy, and it self programmed once plugged in. The hardest part is making sure you wired the harness correctly.
Pros: Well documented, lots of online help because this is a popular unit, programmed itself.
Cons: Makes head unit install slightly more complicated, but to be expected.

Had to buy a new one to add features
Clifford from Wichita, KS on 1/22/2019
2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
This product does exactly what I expected but be forewarned that older versions do can not be upgraded to do the things the current ones can. Unfortunately Metra Axxess the only way to find out what version you have is to call Axxess and read them the serial number on the label. For examlple; I had an ASWC-1 that I purchased from Crutchfield in 2014 in my 2005 Grand Prix GXP that I wanted to reprogram to accommodate mobile phone control by re-purposing one of the never used buttons on my steering wheel. After reading the serial number to the Axxcess support technician he told me the unit was too old and could not updated to do that. While I am very satisfied that the new updated unit does what I need it to do I am disappointed that I had to purchase a new unit in the first place. Does not bode well for the future since car stereo technology is advancing so rapidly. I have a different controller in my 2008 Corvette and thus far is has been quite flexible adapting to new technology. It is a RadioPro RP5-GM11 because I knew you were going to ask.
Pros: It does what it's supposed to do.
Cons: Older units not able to keep up with technology. Not cost effective to buy a new one whenever things change.

unable to get working with Sony XAV-AX1000 and 2012 Subaru Legacy
Crutchfield customer from Reading, PA on 1/12/2019
2012 Subaru Legacy
Like a previous reviewer with a Subaru and the Sony XAV-AX1000 I could not get the ASWC-1 to work with my 2012 Subaru Legacy. I spent hours (updating firmware, manual programming, working with Crutchfield tech support, etc.). Just would not work even though LED pattern indicated it recognized the car and also flashed code for Sony head unit. No matter what button was pushed it just continually increased the volume. Crutchfield even sent another unit, but same issues. I then learned that the Sony head unit had a custom setting to learn steering wheel controls without the need for the adapter. Needed to wire 3.5mm jack directly to steering wheel wires from wire harness and was successfully able to learn the controls directly on the Sony head unit and eliminate the need for the ASWC-1. Crutchfield tech support was good to work with and I returned original for a no hassle refund. That's why I choose Crutchfield, just a really good customer support company.
Pros:
Cons: could not get it to work for my car/head unit combination

Working solution
Tom from Mohrsville, PA on 12/30/2018
2006 Mazda 3
Didn't work the first time I powered it up (may have been due to bumping volume knob during power up). Reset the adapter and it worked fine. Don't like that the Channel changing buttons on the steering wheel now scan thru all available stations (AM/FM frequencies or every XM station) instead of my preset stations. This may be a function of my head unit. Installation instructions could be better. Would be nice if a pin removal tool was included to remove unused pins/wires because taping all the unused wires is a pain.
Pros: Works Compact
Cons: Instructions

Recognized head unit and all steering wheel controls on the 2011 Subaru Legacy right out of the box. This is more related to the Metra harness that was used as part of the install but it would have been nice if I didn't have to solder into the cars harness for this. The Metra plug could have had a few spare pins and pig tails to make this a super clean and simply install.

I ordered this for my 2004 Mazda 3 and the volume buttons, mute, mode and arrow buttons all work great! I'm not sure if related though but since my installation all of the cruise buttons on the right side of the steering wheel are intermittently inoperable. All connections were soldered correctly and as per the direction given. I belive this module taps into the factory CAN signal and may be interrupting signal for cruise buttons.
Pros: Good for getting volume and other radio controls working
Cons: May cause other steering wheel controls not related to radio to have issues

Beware! Very Confusing Instructions!
Martin from Folsom, CA on 12/4/2018
2006 Mazda 3
Beware! Very confusing to wire & program. I received 3 separate sets of instructions in my purchase email from Crutchfield for my stereo and this SWC adapter. All 3 sets of directions had different steps, different wires and different "Special notes" called out for use with a Kenwood radio. This made it extremely difficult and time consuming to get it to work properly. With 4 sets of instructions and all 3 with different steps listed for installing and configuring the adapter it took me over 3 hours to wire, troubleshoot, rewire, troubleshoot, wire again, and again and again. I tried calling both Crutchfield and Axxess, but very long hold times at Crutchfield and no answer at Axxess. No way the average person could have figured this out on their own with 3 sets of instructions! My dad would have thrown the entire adapter and radio flying across the street after the first set of instructions! I have an IT Engineering background and through a process of elimination (3 hours) I was able to connect it properly and "Re-Program" the module, because it had been plugged in and wired so many different times during the process of elimination, I had to keep resetting it and re-programming it. What a nightmare! I gave it 2 stars, because it does work properly, but if anyone had told me it was going to come with 3 sets of instructions and take me 3 hours to troubleshoot, I would have "never" spent the money on it and I would have been fine with the steering wheel controls not working.
Pros: it works like it is supposed to. It controls the stereo from the steering wheel controls.
Cons: 3 sets of instructions from Crutchfield. 2 sets were directly from Axxess, but in different formats and completely different wording and instructions. Third set was a consolidated version of instructions from Crutchfield that sent me to Axxess website for the same directions Crutchfield had already emailed me in the first set of three instructions.

2008 Nissan 350Z
it does work well, ONCE.. you had it figure it out, surprisingly this device took me the longest to understand and program out of all the wiring and different modules. -=Tip: Update The Device's Firmware Before Install, And Use The Same Updater Program To "Override" The Stereo Brand Before You Install, it will save you some time and headaches, trust me on that.
Pros: -Works well, as promised, simple "programing". -Overall Satisfied With The Device.
Cons: Literally comes with NO instructions, you have to go around with this "not so simple" round of steps, look on the internet, get the instructions from their website, which BTW is not very clear (at least for my CAR), took me a couple hours just to digest what the heck they mean "by this" and "by that" .. like if the instruction manual was translated by a person not familiar with the English language....

Great product but not perfect
Nick from IL on 11/26/2018
2011 Nissan Rogue
When I buy things like this I almost always scroll through the negative reviews first. Let me clear one thing up. It will definitely work. Will it program itself in 5 seconds...maybe. The auto detect resulted in mixed up and missing buttons on my Nissan. However, manual programming takes a whole 1 minute and worked flawlessly. In short, it's not as easy as they claim but it is definitely easy to work with and worth the money.
Pros: Allows the programming of all steering wheel controls.
Cons: Auto detect did not work.

Maybe I have a dud?
Jamey from Shedd, OR on 11/8/2018
2003 Dodge Ram 1500
The directions for this item were confusing and now matter what I did I could not get it to work. It came pre-wired so I know that it wasn't something I did. It would not recognize the brand new Kenwood deck that it was wired into. I imagine if it auto-detects your deck and vehicle like it is supposed to, it would be very simple and would not require programming. Unfortunately this was not my experience. It sucks to have steering wheel controls in my vehicle but not be able to use them. I'm not a professional, but I have installed many car stereo systems over the years and consider myself fairly technologically literate. I wish I had the other reviews before I purchased it. Now I have to tear my dash back apart if I want to return it.
Pros: Easy to install / wire
Cons: would not work with my vehicle confusing directions

Crutchfield customer from State College, PA on 11/6/2018
2002 Lincoln Town Car
Ordered the ReadyHarness and this attached right to it. Once I fixed my mistake, the ASWC-1 did the automatic discovery and setup. Everything on the steering wheel worked. I haven't tried the dual command key setup. Hope to put MUTE on one of the steering wheel buttons, maybe long press on volume down? My mistake was not understanding the instructions. I thought all of the wire connections I'd need where part of the ReadyHarness ordered. There was one Gray/Red wire that I needn't to splice. The flashing codes meant something if the had a long flash or a short flash. Since they all flashed at the same rate, I didn't know if it was a long or short flash. Connected that wire and all was well. I also knew to connect the ASWC-1 to my computer (USB) and update the software before putting it in the car.
Pros: Auto connected to my Lincoln and the steering wheel buttons worked.
Cons: I ASSUMED the ReadyHarness had the connections I'd need. Instructions had a required wire that needed to be connected by me.

Worked great out of the box (I did update the firmware before I installed it by using the Axxess firmware updater tool on their website). Phone answer/hang up, vol + and -, and source select work fine from the steering wheel controls. Could not get the PTT to activate for Siri on my Apple Car Play head unit, but that is probably an issue with Nissan, as the other functions worked fine. Lack of PTT is not an issue, as my Pioneer head unit has an easy-to-reach PTT button.

Tickle it right, and it works great.
Crutchfield customer from Bailey, CO on 10/22/2018
Once me and the phone tech figured it out, it works great! No instructions came with how to get the little box to interface with the car.
Pros: The techs pre-wired it into the harness so it was plug-n-play.
Cons: No one provided instructions on how to make it work. Again, the phone tech is there to help.

Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Adapter
Crutchfield customer from Waller, TX on 10/18/2018
2003 Dodge Ram 2500
This thing worked great. Just followed the directions and it figured out what kind of car it was in, what radio it was talking to and the whole thing just worked. Very easy. I'm a computer / communications guy at work and this thing is what all products like this should aspire to. I really can't say enough good things about this. I'm gonna buy another one for a different vehicle in the near future.

When it was time to Install the steering wheel controls I looked up on Axxess website my vehicle and all that was available was the Bluetooth bypass configuration. Great, nevermind the digging (YouTube) I had to do to locate the Bluetooth module that was not in the instructions, but after completing that I then asked myself, how do I install the module I purchased? So I plugged in 2014, and there listed the instructions for which wires to connect, should work right? I followed the instructions and connect the appropriate wires then continue following the instructions for auto detect. Device does not detect the car. Follow troubleshooting. Still doesn't work. So I Stop and call Axxess support. They ask about which
