Thank you! I have been chasing this problem for two days on my Nissan Altima and the Kenwood head unit I am installing. Worked perfectly. Really appreciate you taking the time to help out audio upgrades.
I’ve been having this issues with this for a whole year. Why is it that all the forums say different pin #s, what to do with ground, and which wires to use 😂 Thanks brother, easy and informative
You are a fucking God amongst men. The aussie car I used the ASWC on has been a bitch to install since day one. FR plugs into the FR kick panel... FL RR RL goto the right kick panel, and they have to be hard wired and spliced into the car's loom. So, no one has made a harness for it, let alone a SWC. I figured out which connections to make myself, but I could not for the life of me figure how to program it properly. Then there was you.
Matt. My Aswc-1 has been connected but does not function properly. It seems to read the aftermarket stereo but only volume up works. Volume down,search up and down do not. Any suggestions? Does the ground wire from aswc-1 go grounded directly to chassis? The brown wire on the 3.5mm is connected to the swc wire(green,blue on Jvc deck) and pink wire is connected to pin11 whilst blue and pink wire is connected to pin9. Does pink wire and pin 11wire require a ground wire connected to chassis as well? Vehicle is mercedes w209 Any help would be appreciated!
You are a lifesaver! Got my stereo installed with the ASWC-1 adapter successfully working on 1st try! I have a 2015 and my wire colors were all different from your video but after you showed how to find the pins it became really simple. Thanks again you rock! I haven't tried the buttons yet, but do you know if the bluetooth buttons on the steering wheel work with this adapter as well? Next weekend, speakers! :) Thanks again!
Did you splice the antenna cable or just set it aside. The reason I'm asking is bc I can't get mine to even power on. There's power to the wire so I'm not sure. I re installed the OEM stereo and it needed the antenna harness to be connected before it was able to power on.
Thanks for the vid! Where did you connect the brown wire? I'm a little confused now because on the website they talk bout connecting this brown wire! Thanks!
there is a brown wire that is used only for head units that have a blue and yellow wire. other then that the adapter gets unplugged and the headphone jack plugs right into the w/r port on the head unit. check your manual for which brown wire you should use with your blue and yellow wire on your head unit
Glad to hear back from you and thank you, I have everything figured except the blue wire. I know you are supposed to connect the gray / blue wire to blue wire but there's three blue wires in the harness. Im guessing its the blue wire that sits alone? Thanks!
You need to fallow the counting I did in the video. Check your aftermarket harness and the ones with no wires in the proper count will be the one you want.
I'm about to wire this up... While the color matching you did makes sense, the metra guide says blue goes to red/grey and pink goes to blue/grey (and black to ground). Torn on who to trust!
Well, I think the instructions were correct however I cannot confirm. One of the wires broke as I was installing so I thought something was wrong on the software side and tried manually programming which overwrote the default settings. But, regardless, I feel like it doesn't matter because you can program the buttons to do whatever. But, blue to red/grey and pink to blue/grey is what I have working right now. Thanks for the quick reply! And for this video in general, helps even though I had some confusion.
Hey I'm installing. A pioneer sph-120 now I used the ground wire that comes on the aftermarket harness .. but spliced the grey wires to the factory harness but still can't get it to program
Hello Sir, can you help me with my Nissan teana z30 jm. I am indtalling vertical screen android player. Everything is working but SWC. There are two wires in the player key one and key two. Orange ( kind of light brown) and pink. When i connect these wires with the car swc connector and when I program it, it doesnt work properly. If i increase the sound one time then it start automatically increasing the sound up to full and if decrease then it automatically decrease the sound to zero. If change one channel it automatically keep on changing the channels. Please let me know how can i fix it. Thanks
Hey i followed your instructions pink and blue from the harness and my right side tweeter and speaker does not work? How did this happen would anyone know why?
Sounds like you grabbed the wrong pink and blue wires as those can go to the woofer and tweeter. Make sure too line up your aftermarket harness and see where the speaker wires are to confirm. Some newer 370z's had strange harness setups.
Dynamic Mobile Audio Sorry i actually cut a white while installing. That fixed the no sound problem. But my steering wheel controls don’t all work. The volume down button does not work. And the volume up button and the down button for changing songs are integrated so they do the same thing for some reason. Are my steering buttons done ? Or is this a wiring issue
you are awesome.. thank you for your great video but i have a question do you think this will work on my 2006 ford expedition. I have same steering wheel control kit ... I'm just little confused about the wiring ..
Marcos Gomez hi Marcos if you give me the full info of your car I could probably give you some detailed instructions. The instructions shown here are only for the Nissan's
hi thank you for responding to my question I have a 2006 ford expedition Eddie Bauer with premium system with tv ..and I'm trying to install a pioneer AVH-X2800BS on it .. it will be great if you can help me out thank you again
Matthew Reimer but my steering wheel controls aren't working with it , its not per say my cars factory radio , as I have an altima 2013 s trim so I bought an SL radio the small 5 inch ones and the steering wheel controls aren't working , so was wondering why ?
If it's not a direct OEM stock radio you'll have to buy the metra and set it up. If it's one from say a bose system that might not work either if you have a base model.
should have just went and got harness pins connected the wire to the pins and stuck em in the block would have been a bit cleaner but if it works it works
That's actually what I build when the customer wants it. Here is a link. www.the370z.com/audio-video/53943-now-offering-metra-harness-rear-speaker-pods.html
awesome work dont suppose you know what wires you need on a 01 dodge durango i just ordered that metra not sure how good the instructions are out of the box seeing that a lot of reviews said the wiring book had mistakes
For someone that has an idea of what wires are coming from where it makes a little sense. But all you see is wires. WHERE ARE THEY EVEN COMING FROM. SERIOUSLY WTF
I realized this is super old video but your directions on pins and whatnot are the most clear I could find. Thanks brotha !!!

Anytime! Been doing installs for years now. You just know what works
amazing dude! followed step by step and solved my problem on my pioneer! keep up the solid videos!
Just wanted to say thanks for having this posted. I was only getting volume control on the SWC. All good now

Thank you so much worked perfect on my 2012 Maxima since there are no vids on it
Helped me a ton thanks man!!
This video helped me!!!

what color were yours??
I'll be making an updated video soon that shows how to get the BT call buttons to work.

So it was only like 3 wires you connect from the metra swc interface to the cars wiring?
Correct
I can't get my phone buttons on the steering wheel programmed.
2013 Kia Sorento
question, how do i know if my radio (head unit) is able to work with this ?
Most head units will work with them on the back of the head unit you will see W/R which is wired remote. So this is compatible.
Thanks for the vid! Where did you connect the brown wire? I'm a little confused now because on the website they talk bout connecting this brown wire! Thanks!

ok got that great! where did you connect the solid red wire from the ASWC-1 to car harness? thanks!
Solid red goes to the red of your harness your radio is going to. Sorry for the delay.
Glad to hear back from you and thank you, I have everything figured except the blue wire. I know you are supposed to connect the gray / blue wire to blue wire but there's three blue wires in the harness. Im guessing its the blue wire that sits alone? Thanks!

i cant install mine because im using power acoustik aftermarket stereo
That head unit might have a built in steering wheel control module.
I'm about to wire this up... While the color matching you did makes sense, the metra guide says blue goes to red/grey and pink goes to blue/grey (and black to ground). Torn on who to trust!
Kakunapod unless they've changed the colors and your vehicle isn't a 370z I'd go with this to begin with.
Well, I think the instructions were correct however I cannot confirm. One of the wires broke as I was installing so I thought something was wrong on the software side and tried manually programming which overwrote the default settings.

Kakunapod Not a problem please subscribe to my new channel Dynamic Mobile Audio for more content in the future!
Hey I'm installing. A pioneer sph-120 now I used the ground wire that comes on the aftermarket harness .. but spliced the grey wires to the factory harness but still can't get it to program
Same here bro, cant program it and I am using the same stereo. Did u get the problem solved ?
Thanks a million
What if everything works besides the volume button
The programming was done wrong you'll have to program it again

I’m installing my iPad as my stereo so will this work for that? If not, how would I be able to get my steering wheel controls to work with the iPad?
No it won't you'd need a USB to can bus adapter to lightning
Where your ground cable comes from?
Grounded using an O ring to the metal frame outlining the dash
@@nightmarecivic But the ground is coming from the ASWC or the radio harness?
I think I got it. Thanks from Florida
Is there a difference in colors from 370z 2012 to
2015
Good morning, no there isn't
Dynamic Mobile Audio thank you!
Hey i followed your instructions pink and blue from the harness and my right side tweeter and speaker does not work? How did this happen would anyone know why?

why not move the pins?
I've done that as well. The reason this wasn't done was to keep it as fast and as simple as possible for others.
will this work on a stock radio that you installed ?
A factory radio doesn't need an adapter like the metra it would be plug and play.
Matthew Reimer but my steering wheel controls aren't working with it , its not per say my cars factory radio , as I have an altima 2013 s trim so I bought an SL radio the small 5 inch ones and the steering wheel controls aren't working , so was wondering why ?
If it's not a direct OEM stock radio you'll have to buy the metra and set it up. If it's one from say a bose system that might not work either if you have a base model.
Matthew Reimer how can I tell the difference between the bose model and the other ones ?
should have just went and got harness pins connected the wire to the pins and stuck em in the block would have been a bit cleaner but if it works it works

I could, depends on which model stereo you have. I know some of the kits have the steering wheel control harness built in for those cars.

For someone that has an idea of what wires are coming from where it makes a little sense. But all you see is wires. WHERE ARE THEY EVEN COMING FROM. SERIOUSLY WTF
Wires from aswc1 are being wired to the factory harness located behind the radio. You may have to pull back the black OEM covering to see them
