I've been installing for 10 years, and have been installing steering wheel control interfaces produced by PAC since they were released. I don't know what they are going to do. I just installed the Axxess ASWC last night into a 2008 Toyota Scion and I couldn't believe how simple it was. Anyone who has any experience with the PAC version of the SWI Interface can probably relate to the 10 minute install 30 Minute Programming that the unit generally demands. With the SWI Interfaces you need to, make sure you have the correct unit for the manufacturer of the radio. You need to program the radio and each individual button on the steering wheel in a specific order, while holding down the programming button on the interface with a micro flat-head screwdriver. What a pain in the neck! I will never install another SWI interface now that I've discovered the ASWC. www.Axxessinterface.com allowed me to print out step-by-step instructions for the install into the vehicle and were spot on with the wire locations. After I connected the power, ground, and 3 control wires I turned the car on and done. I couldn't believe it! I didn't need to touch anything, and every button on the wheel worked for it's appropriate function! Way to go Axxess! Except now I may need to lower my price to install these things :-( |

Most of the Ford Edge steering wheel functions programmed correctly out of the box but the default programming does not match the factory settings. For example the station advance or Track Advance button ended up being a tune advance and time advance instead. I have made several attempts to manually reprogram these buttons to the Ford factory set usage without success. In addition I lost the phone answer and phone hang-up functions on the steering wheel. Same story with trying to manualy program. The problem might be more about the Pioneer unit than the ASWC. I could not get any buttons to work with a PAC interface. |

Installed the Axxess ASWC along with a Pioneer AVIC-x920BT in my 2004 Ford Expedition. Worked flawlessly the first time. Plugged/Wired everything up (Power, Ground, Control to Pioneer and to control wire in factory harness) and everything functioned perfectly with no programming or anything extra. Truly easy.

Review by
Edward from Metairie, LA

Very easy to install in my 350z. No resistors have to be used like in the competition's interface. I installed mine in a few hours but took my time because i am a novice, and i did a lot of soldering. Automatically recognized my kenwood DNX5120 and mapped all buttons except the power off button, which i will have to program manually but appears to be easily done.
There is no lag when pressing buttons Great value Very small; i dont have much room back there but it fits anywhere Able to be updated with new firmware via usb for wider array of support for car models i would recommend this

First off let me say I was a 12 volt installer for about 8 years and I can tell you this is the easiest steering adapter I have ever installed. I got this with the Pioneer 4300dvd for my honda ridgeline. when I went on axxess web site to check vehicle compatibility, and it said it would auto detect my truck. They had specific instructions for my truck in .pdf that where SPOT ON. It was literally ACC power, ground, the green/red steering control wire and ground out the other thats it. I plugged it into the stereo and turned the key to ACC, it did the rest. It was way easier then any PAC ive installed and its cheaper to boot. Check out the website if your car is under auto detect get this all day long.

Excellent product, I am a Best Buy install tech, and I have installed many different steering wheel control integration units. This is by far the best I've worked with. The product worked exactly as described, and the set up procedure instructions were very simple to understand.
The procedure for changing the function of any desired button is fairly strenuous with lots of timed and counted single button clicking, but it works well if you maintain patience.

Review by
F350 from Wisconsin
|
After searching the many different steering wheel systems out there I decided on the Axxess ASWC to connect a Kenwood DNX9960 to the factory steering wheel in my Ford F350 Lariat. Overall it took me longer to setup and solder all the connections between the Axxess, Kenwood, Sub amp and speakers than it took me to set everything up. This was only because I am a stickler for neetness when it comes to wires in my F350. The ASWC found the Ford steering wheel but could not find the Kenwood DNX9969. I believe this was because of how new the Kenwood was. I was able to use the manual setup provided by the ASWC to correctly connect the steering wheel to the DNX9960. It has now been over 6 months and this system has worked flawlessly. I would recommend the Axxess ASWC to anyone who wants to build a high end audio system and incorporate the factory steering wheel controls.

Review by
Bear from Lehi, UT

Sonic Electronix was great. The Axxess ASWC is great when it works, but lately (November/December) it has been problematic. I have narrowed it down to not working when it is cold outside. My vehicle stays in a garage which never gets below about 30-35 degrees. Every morning that it is below about 40, this doesn't work. It will work just fine once the car warms up. The caveat is that I have to shut down the deck to get it to "see" the Axxess. So, unless I stop somewhere and shut off my car, I don't have steering wheel controls on my way to work. If I park in the sun, it usually works when I start my car the next time.

Pros: Quick response time, no lag. works with all the buttons on your steering wheel (mine was a 2003 Chevy Tahoe Z71)
Cons: The buttons on my steering wheel stop working sometimes. I don't think its due to the box but how it was installed and it overheating or something. just thought id mention

Bought this for a mazda 3 2005 along with a Jensen 9424. It says it's compatible with this ASWC. I installed it and it did recognize my car but not my jensen radio. I had to manually program it but the only thing that worked was volume and track controls. Mode and mute didn't, I contacted Axxess tech support. They told me most likely it's outdated so they asked me to send it to them and they would update it for me free of charge. Unless you wanna buy the 60 dollar cable and update it yourself. So I sent it and I'm still waiting for it. Hope it works!!!

I bought this because C********* said I didn't have a choice with them. This thing programs itself after installing it. What else could you ask for. Install it and your done. It found my Kenwood Excelon code no problem. I did have to call tech support (my fault) and they walked me through it. I don't know how the other products like this compare, but I'm glad I got this one.

2008 BMW Z4, AXXESS ASWC, JVC KD-A815. Radio works great. The steering wheel controls auto-detected as advertised....then I turn the key off. Turn it back on steering wheel controls don't work. Reset the auto-detect and all is well...until I turn the key off. Repeat. Sonics been great but can't fix since they don't have the $60 cable to update the firmware. If you need the update you have to 1) send it back to AXXESS at your cost and they will update, 2) take it to a local shop that has the cable and pay what they charge, 3) buy the $60 cable doubling cost or, 4) send it back for a refund. When the product works it does a good job. No lag etc. If you have my problem you might pay more for the cable than the unit or chase your tail to find someone with the cable. I'm a little mad at metra/axxess right now as it feels like extortion. Hence buyer beware....you have been warned. BTW my car is a 2008 and the unit was built Feb 2010 but some how the profile was not in there yet....sounds like you want another $60 metra

This is a great product; best on the market. We've tried other unit (P....) and could not get it to work on our 2004 Nissan Altima. We installed this unit (Axxess) in less than 1/2 hour. No soldering and/or resistors to support your installation. Just connect wiring (5) per instructions and turn on the ignition (to accessory). Your Done! Simple!

Pinky from Seattle, WA

I have a 2001 Pathfinder LE and a JVC KW-NT3HDT dash unit. After I got the ASWC connected, it auto-detected both quickly, working perfectly with no lag. The instructions off of their website were accurate, but in my Pathfinder's case, it didn't specify that the connector the ASWC needed to connect to was an auxiliary one, and not the ones to the dash unit (both are 16 pins). I called their tech support and they got me on the right track. The other issue was that I had initially plugged the 3.5 mm cable from the ASWC into the wrong input on my dash unit. Once that got sorted, it all came up perfectly the first time. All the buttons had the right functions as well. This is a great product!

Easy to set up and vehicle specific wiring instructions are available. Plug and play control... took about one minute to program itself to my radio and Scion tC and all was done! Have used this with two different units in my car, one Clarion and now currently use with a Jensen head unit. The interface had no problem detecting and programming itself with each head unit.
I have owned this for over 6 months and was easy to install. Once you get it working you will almost forget you have it installed! If for some reason it does not program itself correctly, check your connections between the SWC box and vehicle wire harness... a good connection is everything!

Installed in a 2006 Ford Explorer with a Pioneer radio. Installed w/o any problems. Programmed itself, all steering wheel controls worked properly the first time. There were no resistors needed to place inline. Much easier than the PAC that I installed previously. So far I have not noticed any delay when using the steering wheel controls.

Much easier to install than the PAC that only lasted about a year and a half. I also purchased the Metra 70-8114 adapter for my 2006 Toyota 4Runner for easy install. No splicing or resistors (like the PAC) required. Auto programming worked flawlessly between the 4Runner and my Pioneer HU. I don't know about its durability yet. You should check if it works with your car/HU. Most likely it does. Highly recommend.

I purchased a JVC KW-HDR81BT from SonicElectronix at a SUPER AWESOME price. I also got this steering wheel module because I was afraid of the lag from the PAC versions and I have to say im glad I decided on this one. It was super easy to install in my 2004 Mountaineer. I hooked up one wire to the AUX plug from the factory radio (not the radio plug the aftermarket radio connects to) I then hooked up one wire to the female 3.5mm jack supplied with this unit. Plugged the male 3.5mm in to it. Plugged the radio up then turned the key and this thing went thru a series of blinking then BAM it was done! No programming at all. I put my radio in the dash and walked away. There is NO lag at all. and you can also remap the buttons for other controls pretty easily.. I will highly recommend this thing to anyone who wants to keep their steering wheel controls. Oh and let me add this. I got it for CHEAP because of Sonics awesome price match program! SONIC YOU guys rock!

The Axxess ASWC installation went well and works as expected, thanks. The only problem is that randomly the "att" function keeps popping up. There is an interference somewhere that triggers the attenuation and I honestly have had no time to investigate. I installed on a 2009 Subaru Forester and JVC KW-AVX810. I was thinking just wrapping an aluminum foil around the ASWC would do the job.

I'm neutral on recommending this product because it was pretty simple to activate but when I got a new deck and wanted to reset it to the new deck the one button on it broke. So it became garbage which sucked. Yes it's easy to program but is it quality stuff and worthy of its price and overall function. NO!

This product works great, but axxess doesn't supply you with the correct information to install this product. I read forums to get the correct tap wires to install for my car. I would recommend doing research before installing. Tapping into the wrong wires could have done damage to my cars electrical system, I was lucky and figured out the problem.

Read the instructions. Downloaded wiring info. first sheet is of no help.

Anywho, at the bottom of the wiring info page under Documents click on that. That is the instructions for the wiring connections to your Q.

I used this in my 1999 Cadillac Deville (base model). Very easy to install in my car. I can control my Pioneer AVH-4300DVD using the steering wheel controls now. I only have volume up/down and station or track up/down though. BUT it's worth it because of the convenience.
It even stays programmed when you disconnect the battery to work on your car! Get it!

I called them to try to max out the capabilities of my cars existing steering wheel buttons and the radio. It seems jvc is a little proprietary (stingy) and not as flexible as they could be with cooperating unless there's money in it. Axxess puts out a good product. I just wish I could use all of the car's buttons.

If I need another head unit for a different vehicle with steering wheel controls I will get on of these for sure again.

For my set-up this SWC interface was truly plug-n-play. The first time I plugged everything in to do my wiring test the interface recognised my vehicle and new deck (AVH-P4300DVD) and all the steering wheel controls worked. This is a great product that was easy to wire up and even easier to use.

Ordered this one due to instructions showing it being easier to install. Have an 05 Camry XLE and installed a Pioneer DVD 4200 in it. Installation was super simple and set up was easy. Automatically detected everything and set it for the car. Everything works flawlessly and has been installed for quite a while now. Bonus for fellow XLE owners is that you ground one of the wires as stated in the instructions and you get full use of your info center in the dash again!

Bought a Clarion NX501 to put in my 2011 Tundra, bought this Steering Wheel Integration from Axxcess. Works good with all my controls, except my answer and hang up buttons, and my talk button on my steering wheel. This may be due to the installer not ever hooking one up before. I am going to pull it back out just to make sure he's done everything correctly. But it's not really a bother since the Clarion has such a wonderful bluetooth phone control. Would give 5 stars if all my buttons had worked... If I can figure it out I will update the review.

Purchased and installed th ASWC in my 2008 Corvette to add steering wheel radio controls for my Kenwood DNX6960 Audio/Nav unit. The ASWC is easy to install and program (it actually programs itself). It learns the button functions on its own. The response time is almost instantaneous; when you push a button on the steering whell, the radio responds instantly. Only problem that I have is that the buttons for my pre set stations do not work properly; it changes the stations, but simply in progression, not to the programmed presets. Haven't been able to cure this. Volume up and down and tuning up and down work just fine; only problem is with the station preset tuning; it just won't do it. This may be an issue specific to the '08 Corvette. My car did not have factory installed steering wheel radio controls to start with. Overall, I would rate this an excellent product and would recommend it. I would purchase this product again.
