Get the Axxess ASWC working - All buttons

MX52Z

Because I'm still stuck on the grey/blue and grey/red wires being connected properly. No matter what I do, the Axxess only sees one of them: #16 blue to grey/blue wire but not the pink wire. When I hook it up incorrectly, then the Axxess sees the #6 pink to grey/red wire but not the blue wire.

It's frustrating because the Axxess sees one but not both. Following the directions precisely, I only get volume control but defying the instructions, all the buttons on the steering wheel respond (somewhat).

So, I'm wondering if the Axxess even needs the second connection at all because if all the steering wheel buttons are responding (somewhat) to my purposefully reversed wiring, then I'm questioning if I'm then able to manually program the buttons to function correctly.

In short: Follow Axxess instructions, get only volume. Defy Axxess instructions and get all buttons to respond (but still need manual programming).

I haven't yet tried manual programming because I don't know how. The instructions are like 13 pages of "hold the vol up button until something blinks" then count some other blinks and then down vol until something else blinks so you can skip to the next button to program, etc. I know you could do it blindfolded but it's still daunting for me.

I've got the same exact problems on the same exact car The manual programming is still confusing for me. All I can get to work correctly are the volume buttons and "bluetooth end call" will mute my radio lol.. Thats all I've got.. I'm thinking about biting the bullet and having a shop reprogram.. Although I dont like anyone touching my stuff

Same here, only the volume works. I connected everything per the instructions and also tried the manual programming. No difference...

I could spend more time on it but I'm frustrated enough already.

I saw first hand what people could be getting wrong if they are using this with a JVC head unit yesterday. The aswc sees the JVC as a kenwood and you need to tell it you have a JVC or use a resistor in the program process and remove afterwards.

As for the manual programming you have to make sure you program the buttons in order otherwise half will do weird things unless you are trying to get them to do other functions.

Once again I say this, if your only getting volume hyou are NTO doing a manual program you are doing a auto program. You need to reset the unit wait for the light to go into a slow flash and in this order:

Hold volume up wait for red light to go solid red let go

Hold Volume down wait for red light to go solid let go

Hold seek up down wait for red light to go solid let go

Hold Seek down wait for red light to go solid let go

Hold Source down wait for red light to go solid let go

Hold volume up for at least 10 seconds the red light will go into a slow blink let go

Hold volume down for 5 seconds the red light will start flashing rapidly let go

Hold volume down until light turns solid red.

Your done.

I just installed mine and looking at the instructions and this it wouldn't work until I deleted the last step of holding vol down......also mine blinks red and goes solid green....not solid red not that it makes any difference.

This worked for me. Took several times to work as the last step never fully worked. Not sure what I did differently to make it finally worked but I'm happy it did.

I appreciate the help!
