CONNECTIONS TO BE MADE
3.5mm jack steering wheel control retention:
• The 3.5mm jack is to be used to retain audio controls on the steering wheel.
For the radios listed below, connect the included female 3.5mm connector with stripped leads, to the
•
male 3.5mm SWC jack from the AX-CH5-SWC. Any remaining wires tape off and disregard.
•
Eclipse: Connect the steering wheel control wire, normally Brown, to the Brown/White wire of
the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire, normally Brown/White,
to the Brown wire of 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 your Kenwood radio auto detects as a JVC, manually set the radio type to Kenwood. See
the instructions under changing radio type.
•
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),
and then connect the 4-pin connector from the AX-SWC-PARROT into the radio.
Note: The radio must be updated to 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 of the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire,
referred to as Key-B or SWC-2, to the Brown/White wire of 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 AX-CH5-SWC harness into the jack on the
aftermarket radio designated for an external steering wheel control interface. Please refer to the

INSTALLING THE AX-CH5-SWC
With the key in the off position:
• Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the AX-CH5-SWC harness,
into the interface.
Note: For the Fiat 500L and Ram Promaster City, do not connect the harness to the
vehicle yet.
• Connect the AX-CH5-SWC harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle.
Note: If retaining steering wheel controls, ensure the jack/wire is connected before
proceeding onto the next step.
INITIALIZING THE AX-CH5-SWC
For the steps below, the Red L.E.D. (located inside the interface, next to the potentiometer)
can only be seen while active. The interface does not need to be opened to see the L.E.D.
• For the Fiat 500L and Ram Promaster City only: Turn the hazard lights on.
• Turn the hazard lights on.
• Turn the key (or push-to-start button) to the ignition position, the L.E.D. will turn on.
• Within a minute, the L.E.D. will turn off for a couple seconds, then flash slowly (up
to (18) times, indicating which radio is connected to the interface), and then turn
off. Pay close attention as to how many slow flashes there are. This will help in
troubleshooting, if need be. Refer to the L.E.D. feedback section for more information.
• Within a few seconds the L.E.D. will turn on, and the radio will turn off.
• Within a minute the L.E.D. will turn off, and the radio will come back on, indicating
the initialization process is successful.
Note: If the radio does not come back on within a minute, the interface is not
communicating to the vehicle. Turn the key off, check all connections, and then try
again. The interface may need to be reset at this point.
• For the Fiat 500L and Ram Promaster City only: Turn the hazard lights off.
