This steering wheel adaptor was purchased for an aftermarket radio. The radio was purchased from Witson for a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The aftermarket radio was not on the list of manufacturers known to work with the steering wheel adapter. However, through trial and error I found that the head unit responded to the codes used for the Eclipse (Type 2) head unit.The firmware update was very straight forward via download of their software from the site to my tablet and using a USB cable from the tablet to the device.I did have some difficulties with the installation at first as I was getting what I eventually found out through Google searching was the error code. This is when the LED on the unit flashes slowly between red and green. It took a few tries with programming and verifying wiring. It should be noted that I had to disconnect the USB cable and turn off/on the ignition then hold my volume up button until the unit recognized the vehicle for each trial of the head unit.The wiring information provided in the manual supplied by Axxess was spot on. I had even referred to the wiring schematic from the vehicles wiring diagrams but ultimately it was the Axxess manual that was correct. The manual could be written a little more clearly but we also have to keep in mind the people who wrote it knew how to use it. The downloaded instructions “for my vehicle” threw me off a bit as it had conflicting information from the manuals that came with the packaging. I almost gave it four stars because of this. The steering wheel controls now work perfectly with the head unit so I give it a five star rating. While this may seem expensive it is well worth it to regain full functionality.

Excelente producto y cumple con su función, si cambias de estéreo en tu coche y quieres conservar los controles al volante y quieres una opción no especifica que siempre suelen ser mucho más caras esta es la opción segura.No es extremadamente difícil de instalar solo hay que saber que se está haciendo y que cables conectar, pero en la página del proveedor vienen manuales bastante claros del procedimiento paso a paso, además al ser actualizable es casi seguro que sea compatible.Solo en ocasiones al prenderse no reconoce el estéreo y no habilita la función, solo es cosa de volver a prender el coche o apagar el estéreo para que se reinicie y todo correcto.

The aswc-1 is the best at what it does. That is, there is no better steering wheel controls wiring kit that works on as many cars and radios. There is no other kit (that I know of) that can be manually programmed to essentially work with any radio. I was even able to get this working on my Chinese Android radio, the Atoto A6 Pro. (no small task). For that reason, I give it an overall 4 stars.If you have an obscure radio (or some Chinese Android radio) this is the wiring kit you need.If you have a common radio (kenwood, pioneer, etc.) and a common car the aswc-1 works really well. With it’s manual radio detection, it will find your radio by itself. However, trouble-shooting can be VERY difficult if things don’t automatically work. (that’s the reason for the 4 stars).**HOW TO CONNECT TO THE ATOTO A6***DO NOT use the 3.5mm Female input (SWC IR-WIRELESS Steering Wheel Key Control Port) on the back of the Atoto A6 Pro.This port does not work for some reason.1. Download the vehicle specific instructions for your car, as well as the “Axxess Steering Wheel Control Interface Installation Manual” from axxessinterfaces(dot com).2. Follow the vehicle specific instructions to first connect the AWSC-1 to your car.**Connections to the Radio**1. The ASWC-1 includes a female 3.5mm connector with a brown and brown/white wire coming out. Use this to connect to the Atoto’s Steering Wheel Key(+) and Steering Wheel Key#(+) wires.2. Connect the “Steering Wheel Key+” wire of the Atoto A6 to the Brown/White wire of Axxess ASWC-1, connect the “Steering WheelKey#+” wire of the Atoto A6 to the Brown wire of Axxess ASWC-13. Plug the male 3.5 mm jack FROM THE ASWC-1, into the female 3.5 mm jack that you wired up in step 2.4. The ASWC-1 will not auto detect the Atoto A6. (no problem)5. Follow the instructions from page 12 of the “Axxess Steering Wheel Control Interface Installation Manual” to change your radio type.6. The Atoto A6 will respond to “Visteon” radio controls. (Visteon is radio type 8).7. Once you’ve set the aswc-1, go to your radio.8. From the radio navigate to: Settings>Default settings>Steering wheel program.9. Once at the screen press “Reset”.10. Then press any key value, it will begin to flash.11. Finally press one of the buttons on your steering wheel, the flashing on your radio will stop and a triangular symbol will appear on the key. this indicates the key means has been successfully programmed.repeat steps 10 and 11 until you have programed all the steering wheel control buttons.

Amazing.. Loved it! Works exactly how youd expect it to. Easy to install , Its a LITTLE bit tricky to manually program for the few cars that dont support the automatic programming but none the less well worth it. Took me about an hour all up to install into my BA Falcon and it retains my original steeringwheel controls very well. Amazing product and well worth it 5 stars Hands down, worth buying for sure!For those who are skeptical. Just buy it and it’ll be the answer your looking for! Thank you

I purchased this item together with several other Metra parts (dash trim, radio harness, antenna cable, and backup camera retention cable) to replace a factory stereo with a new CarPlay head unit in a 2018 Sentra (base model, no Bose speakers). The overall installation process for all of these parts was lengthy but fairly straightforward… though I haven’t used my soldering skills since high school, I was able to wire up the various harnesses, insulate everything with shrink and tesa tape, open the dash, and get everything hooked up and working. The teenager who drives the car is very happy with her new radio.The most difficult part of the entire operation was installation of this component. First, Metra’s website didn’t cover the model year of our Sentra (2018). Eventually, I learned that the 2017 instructions worked and that Metra simply hadn’t yet tested enough 2018 models to feel comfortable putting it on their website–fair enough. Even when I found working instructions, they were poorly written and laid out, almost to the point of being impenetrable. Metra should really consider hiring a professional to improve their documentation.Fortunately, a couple of calls to Metra’s tech support–even available on weekends!!–answered all of my questions. They were patient, helpful, and encouraging, giving me the confidence to take on and complete the install. Metra’s tech support is genuinely excellent. I only wish their documentation was half as good.One thing Metra recommended which I did NOT do was splice directly into the car’s radio harness behind the plug. That would have required peeling back insulation to splice in-line to the bare wire without cutting, and then soldering the new connections *inside the dash*. As I said, my soldering skills are pretty rudimentary and I was not confident that I could easily solder such small connections inside the dash cavity without damaging something else. Instead I used Posi-Taps to tap the two cables behind the plug without cutting or soldering. While Metra warned me that taps wouldn’t work, I had seen other installers use them on YouTube. Even Crutchfield’s tutorial video used them! In the end, they worked perfectly and I spared myself the tricky soldering and possibly damaging the factory radio harness.Overall, though it was a bit of a challenge I’m glad I took it on.

First one was a dead unit. Had to get another. Second thought worked like a charm! Easy to installed and to set up.

This one worked first shot for the steering wheel controls. Just followed the instructions for wiring & programming. Two other brands were suppose to work with the steering wheel buttons on my car and after two days neither one worked right. This one was easy to program and worked first shot with the steering wheel buttons and the after market radio in my 2004 Monte Carlo.
