STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS

L.E.D. feedback

The (18) 

Red

 L.E.D. flashes represent what brand radio the AX-TYAMP2-SWC believes it is 

connected to. Each flash represents a different radio manufacturer. For example, if you are 
installing a JVC radio, the AX-TYAMP2-SWC will flash (5) times. Following is a legend that 
dictates which manufacturer corresponds to which flash.

L.E.D. feedback legend

*  Note:

  If the AX-TYAMP2-SWC flashes Red (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio 

connected to it, that means the AX-TYAMP2-SWC does not detect a radio connected it. Verify that 

the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.

** Note: 

 Part number AX-SWC-PARROT is required (sold separately). Also, the Parrot radio must be 

updated to rev. 2.1.4 or higher through www.parrot.com.

†  Note:

  If you have a Clarion radio and the steering wheel controls do not work, change the radio 

type to the other Clarion radio type; same for Eclipse. The following section explains how to do this.

‡  Note:

  If you have a Kenwood radio and the L.E.D. feedback comes back as showing as a JVC radio, 

change the radio type to a Kenwood. The following section explains how to do this.

1 flash - Eclipse (Type 1) †
2 flashes - Kenwood ‡
3 flashes - Clarion (Type 1) †
4 flashes - Sony / Dual
5 flashes - JVC
6 flashes - Pioneer / Jensen
7 flashes - Alpine *
8 flashes - Visteon
9 flashes - Valor

10 flashes - Clarion (Type 2) †
11 flashes - Metra OE
12 flashes - Eclipse (Type 2) †
13 flashes - LG
14 flashes - Parrot **
15 flashes - XITE
16 flashes - Philips
17 flashes - TBD
18 flashes - JBL

Changing radio type

If the LED flashes do not match the radio you have connected, you must manually program 
the AX-TYAMP2-SWC to tell it what radio it is connected to.

1.

  After (3) seconds of turning the key on, press and hold the Volume-Down button on the 

steering wheel until the L.E.D. in the AX-TYAMP2-SWC goes solid.

2. 

Release the Volume-Down button; the L.E.D. will go out indicating we are now in Changing 
Radio Type mode.

3.

  Refer to the Radio Legend to know which radio number you would like to have 

programmed.

4.

  Press and hold the Volume-Up button until the L.E.D. goes solid, and then release. Repeat 

this step for the desired radio number you have selected.

5.

  Once the desired radio number has been selected, press and hold the Volume-Down button 

on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid. The L.E.D. will remain on for about (3) 
seconds while it stores the new radio information.

6.

  Once the L.E.D. goes off, the Changing Radio Type mode will then end. You can now test the 

steering control wheel controls.

 

Note:

 

If at any time the user fails to press any button for a period longer than (10) seconds, 

this process will abort.

Attention: 

 The Axxess Updater App can also be used to program the following (3) sub-sections as 

well, pending that the interface has been initialized and programmed.
