Axxess ASWC wiring.

Hey Z33knight
I looked through the wiring diagrams in the 2010 Nissan Service manual and can't find any mention of a difference for the touring/sport models. They talk about:
Base model
Bose without nav
Bose with nav
Mexican models
non-Mexican models
Coupe
Roadster
Every single one uses the same pins for the Steering wheel A and B and ground.....pins 6, 16, and 15 respectively. The only differences are the colors of the wires in the different models. I have a touring/sport Roadster and haven't installed the HU and Axxess ASWC yet. I'll let you know how it goes, but I've read a couple of other posts that mentioned they couldn't get any functions to work other than volume in the touring models......

Even I with doing 3 bose systems have not been able to get the pac nor the axxess to work in the bose model. However I think some people have figured it out with different color wires. I however have not.

I have a 2010 touring/sport Roadster. It has Bose without Navigation.

What I intend to do when I hook it up is the following:
Grey/Red wire of the ASWC to pin 6 of the vehicle which according to the Service Manual is W (White).
Grey/Blue wire of the ASWC to pin 16 of the vehicle which according to the SM is GR (Gray)
This is for the non-Mexican car. The Mexican vehicle has different colors. I'll have to verify that in fact these colors coincide with the pins of course.
Ground pin 15 of the vehicle's harness which is B (Black).

There seems to be a lot of variation on the actual wire colors, depending on the vehicle. For instance, on the base unit AND the Bose with NAV, Pin 6 is P (Pink) Pin 15 is B (Black) and pin 16 is L (Blue). There doesn't appear to be any Mexican/non-Mexican vehicle differences for the base and Bose/Nav cars.
They are both the same.
I'm just wondering if those that can't get it to work on the touring vehicles are perhaps not verifying the correct pin and are relying on the color instead. Just a thought..... I'll know soon enough when I get around to installing the 9960. I really won't know for sure until I actually pull the old radio and examine what I've got.
Here's the Legend for figuring out the colours on the Nissan wiring diagrams:

B = Black
W = White
R = Red
G = Green
L = Blue
Y = Yellow
LG = Light Green
BG = Beige
BR = Brown
OR or O = Orange
P = Pink
PU or V (Violet) = Purple
GY or GR = Gray
SB = Sky Blue
CH = Dark Brown
DG = Dark Green

I got the Axxess ASWC working on my 2010 Touring/Sport (with Bose/No NAV) Roadster.
I hooked it up as per the previous post, and it didn't work. The first set of flashes indicated that Grey/Blue was detected (6th flash). The second set of flashes indicated that I had a JVC radio, but I have the Kenwood 9960.
A call to Axxess had me speaking to the rudest tech support rep I have ever met. But that's another story.......the long of the short is that the online instructions had me hooking up the two wires of the ASWC to the opposite pins on the vehicle wiring harness. The correct wiring is Gray/Blue to pin 6 (White) and Gray/Red to pin 16 (Gray), and the ground to pin 15 (Black) was OK. The instructions were backwards.
Also, for the ASWC to recogonize the Kenwood, you have to put a 12000 (12K) ohm resistor in line with the blue/yellow wire of the Kenwood HU (Remote Cont) and the brown wire of the 3.5mm jack of the ASWC.

The above document states 10K Ohms, but Axxess said 12K. Most likely they will both work. I used 12K.

I rebooted the ASWC, and this time it identified the Gray/Red wire (4th flash), and also it saw the radio as Kenwood. I then manually programmed the unit. You then have to remove the 12K resistor and reboot. It will not work with the resistor left in place.
I now have all 3 buttons working, although the phone buttons don't seem to work.....
