PROGRAMMING THE AXSWC INTERFACE
• Press and hold the Volume-Up button on the steering wheel.
• Turn the ignition on, the L.E.D. in the AXSWC interface will start flashing rapidly, which
means the AXSWC is looking for the vehicle and the radio.
Note:
If the L.E.D. did not start flashing rapidly, press the reset button for 3 seconds, while
still holding the Volume-Up button.
• After a few seconds the L.E.D. should stop flashing rapidly, and then go out for
approximately 2 seconds.
• After approximately 2 seconds there will be a series of 7
Green
flashes, some short, and
some long. The long flashes represent the wires that are connected to the AXSWC. The 3rd,
4th, 5th, and 6th flashes should be longer.
Tip:
Knowing this will help to troubleshoot, if need be.
• The L.E.D. will pause for another 2 seconds, and then flash
Red
up to 18 times depending on
which radio is connected to the AXSWC. Refer to the L.E.D. feedback section for information.
• This is the end of the auto detection stage. Release from holding the Volume-Up button. If
the AXSWC detected the vehicle and the radio successfully, the L.E.D. will light up solid.
• Test the steering wheel controls for proper operation. Refer to the AXSWC instructions online
at axxessinterfaces.com for customizing the buttons, if so desired.
L.E.D. feedback
The (18)
Red
L.E.D. flashes represent what brand radio the AXSWC believes it is connected
to. Each flash represents a different radio manufacturer. For example, if you are installing
a JVC radio, the
AXSWC
will flash (5) times. Following is a legend that dictates which
manufacturer corresponds to which flash.
L.E.D. feedback legend
* Note:
If the AXSWC flashes
Red
(7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio connected
to it, that means the AXSWC 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 AXSWCH-PAR 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. Refer to the “Programming Information” document online.
