Good work around for controls

Allowed me to retain all of my controls. The instructions are a bit over simplified but I did not have any issues installing.

Crux SWRNS-63U Wiring Interface

When you are used to having steering wheel controls with the stock stereo, it's hard to break the habit of using the controls! Cruxfield has made the wiring harness SWRNS-63U available to install to maintain this feature. What can I say other than it was easy to install and to wire in place for use. I cannot say how AWESOME it is to have the controls all work as prescribed! I ran into a snag and needed to call for assistance. I actually had a person answer and assist me immediately! They understood my dilemma and knew what to do next! GREAT SERVICE! Thank you for such a great product!

Easy enough to install, however never worked properly on my 2007 Nissan Sentra. No matter what I did the steering wheel controls were messed up. Seek buttons and volume buttons are backwards. Called Crutchfield customer service and they were great and took me through all the troubleshooting methods before sending me a new one that had the same issues unfortunately. This is the most expensive unit I have seen that is compatible with my car, I just wish that it worked properly. Certainly not worth the money when cheaper options work properly.

Great Product!

Excellent product! All my steering wheel controls on my '08 Altima are retained! Works seamlessly with my Kenwood double din Navigation headunit! On my Altima like the prior reviews, the brown wire on this product needs to be disconnected. I got this product to work with no problems!

The Crux SWRNS-63U wiring interface made attaching the new Pioneer unit into my Altima real easy. It is very nice to keep using the steering wheel buttons. Easy setup instructions. However, for me, I did need to contact Crutchfield Tech Support to figure out I needed to disconnect a brown wire. Awesome support, was on phone for a really short time, it seems my Altima and Pioneer needed the brown wire disconnected for the steering wheel controls to function.

Works well, but I thought it was supposed to keep my steering wheel volume controls working with the new receiver. I guess it only applies to bluetooth controls on steering wheels.

So simple, I had it installed and working before I even realized how it worked. Thought I was gonna have to disassemble the glovebox and get tantric with the Juke to get the steering wheel controls to work, but this was a piece of cake.

Wired Up Wrong

Mine came wired up wrong, so my steering wheel controls would not work. That resulted in numerous emails back and forth to customer service. At first, they were telling me that I needed to modify the wiring harness on my car's Bluetooth Control Module. When I sent a pic showing it was not where they said, they told me to look on the other side. When I sent a picture that it was not there, they said look in the middle. I sent a video. Now they said it was inside the car. Finally, someone wrote and said my car did not have a Bluetooth Control Module, and that my crimps were faulty. I wrote back and told them that I paid them to crimp these, and they wrote back saying their crimping tool did not make mistakes. Round and round. Finally, I had to go through the wiring that they did, and I found one wire (Brown) that was connected and should not have been. After I cut that wire, my steering wheel controls started to work again.

Awesome, make sure you read the instructions, I was stuck for a little bit with steering wheel controls but found the statement after SWC code that the brown wire was to be disconnected, did not catch that at first. Everything works perfect.

The other half of my wiring review

I was so fixated on the problem with the steering controls, I forgot to review the non-steering-control aspect of the wiring interface. This worked very well. My only issue was that the instructions were unclear about the blue antenna wire. So I left it unconnected. As a result, most of my AM/FM stations were lost in static. I googled my reception problem and found out the blue antenna wire must be connected to 12 volt power. So I connected it to the red wire and AM/FM reception is now excellent. I have a 2009 Nissan Altima.

Device failed

This device failed to work in my 2009 Nissan Altima. I think it was doing something when I first connected it, because I pressed a button on the car steering wheel and got a function on the radio. It was the incorrect function because I had not yet setup the radio to translate the signal correctly. A few days later, when I tried to setup the radio, I got a "timeout" report from the radio. I got a "timeout" from every button. I went through every combination of dip switches and still got a "timeout". So, apparently, the device is no longer providing a signal. It has gone dead.

Easy enough to use

Works well in my 07 Altima. Was a bit confusing at first because when I had it installed with everything connected up the way it should have been (in my opinion), it still wouldn't work at first. I tried a few dip switch settings and it really didn't help. Turned out that I had to unplug the brown wire to the device before my controls would work like they should have. Luckily it had a simple connector in the middle of the line so detaching it wasn't a big issue. Also, I wish it would allow me to customize my buttons a little. For instance, I'd like to press and hold to the source button to get the voice activation part to pop up, but the button on the radio and regular voice commands work well enough. Or I'd like to be able to hold that button and have the radio menu pop up and let me scroll through with the track/preset up/down button to choose sources without having to touch the radio itself. That may just be a limitation of my radio, though.

Crux Interface and Crutchfield

I installed a Boss Navigation / Bluetooth double din radio in my granddaughter 2012 Sentra.. It has been a long time since I have done a radio installation. First thing is Crutchfield's sales and support were fantastic. Ziggy went over what I would need to do the installation and set me up with the correct connectors and wiring information including using the CRUX SWRNS-63 Wiring Interface. Just to make things clear I did not wire up for the steering wheel controls because this Boss Radio was not set up for it. I set the DIP switch up on the left side as per the instructions for the Nissan. All went well and the Granddaughter is happy. Thanks Crutchfield

Crux SWRNS-63U Wiring Interface

Although there are additional instructions furnished by Crutchfield, installing this interface can be a challenge. Sit down and study the whole setup before doing anything. They are apparently written assuming the user has done this before. I could recommend that instructions for where to plug in the SWA cable would be helpful. Even defining what "SWA" means would be helpful. Downloading the most current instruction sheet from the Crux web site is a must! It's an expanded version of the sheet included in the package.

Crux SWRNS-63U Wiring Interface

I reinstalled a JVC head unit in my daugter's car, a 2012 Nissan Altima.Install went well. The instructions for the Crux interface was very straight forward. With out this module, she would not be able to use the steering wheel controls. Immediately after the installation, tested all the steering wheel buttons. The seek button for moving the channel up would increase the volume instead of changing the channel. Called Crutchfield and of course their tech support was right on it. Told me to pull the unit and make sure the dip switches and/or the plug ins were seated correctly. Completed that and all worked fine on the radio, but still the same issue with the iPod setting. Not a big deal at this point.

Works, sort of

Installed in a 2011 Nissan Versa SL with a DPX791BH , it seemed like it was a good option as the Maestro was not listed as compatible with this car by Crutchfield. For some reason it decided that the source button should toggle ATT and the voice command button should control sources and hangup the phone\decline calls. No button activated voice control (limitation of the receiver) and no button would pickup the phone (guess ATT is more important). Other than that the volume and seek buttons worked more or less as expected. No way to program the unit so your stuck with it that way. To be fair the headunit had other major issues so maybe some of the difficulties were headunit related and not the controllers fault. Returning it and buying a Maestro from Crutchfield to replace it since the manufacturer lists it as compatible (and I have it installed in my Subaru and love it).
