Get the Axxess ASWC working - All buttons

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.

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.
