Follow the steps below to program JVC and Kenwood radios when installing the AXSWC.
- Locate the main connector on the back of the radio (Figure A).
NOTE
These radios use an ISO/EURO (1784 shell) radio connector. (Figure A)
- The SWC wire from the radio can be found in the bundle of wires above the main connector, labeled REMOTE CONT. (Figure B)
WARNING
This installation will require a 10k ohm ¼ watt resistor (sold separately). (Figure C)
Installation Instructions
- Connect one end of the resistor to the Blue/Yellow wire from the radio.
- Connect the other end of the resistor to the Brown wire from the 3.5mm adapter included with the AXSWC (Figure A).
- Proceed with programing the steering wheel controls according to the vehicle specific instructions.
- Once the AXSWC interface indicates the correct radio is programmed (5 LED flashes), remove the resistor.
- Reconnect the Blue/Yellow and Brown wires without the resistor in place (Figure B).
- Test the steering wheel controls for proper functionality.
The installation is complete.
