Metra Axxess Wiring

chemi19 · 11-06-2010, 10:54 AM

I can't seem to find clear instructions on how to wire the Metra Axxess ASWC for my new Kenwood radio. I am stuck on where to connect the Gray/Red & Gray/Blue. The instructions say to wire them to PIN 6 & 15 but on my metra wiring harness those seem to be designated for the left rear speakers.
Can anyone please help me decipher where those two wires should go?

As of right now my wiring is as follows:
ASWC-------- Radio Wiring Harness------KENWOOD
RED----------------RED
BLACK-------------GROUND
GRAY/RED---------?????
GRAY/BLUE--------?????
BROWN------------------------------------BROWN/YELLOW

This might help. This is the 370 specific instructions.

Does that mean I have to tap into the vehicles wiring harness?

Yes it does the blue and gray goes to a blue wire and the pink and gray goes to a pink wire. Best way is to cut them off the harness.

Ok... tried it and it didn't work. I dont know what I am doing wrong, but I found (I think) the pink wire (PIN 6)
PIN 15 which everyone describes as blue was black, connected that one to gray/blue.
PIN 16 which the manual says to wire to ground, did not exist on my harness.
Any ideas?
I had to put the car back together as its my DD. but I will be working on it again next weekend. Hopefully you guys can help me figure it by then

Ground wire on the harness gets cut and grounded to metal

chemi19 · 11-08-2010, 10:58 AM

But which cable is the ground wire?
Its calling for pin 15 but there is no cable on pin 15 of the vehicles wiring harness

I didn't pay attention to the doc that I linked you to. I had already done the SWI-JACK unit before I did the Metra. Metra's pin arrangement is wrong.
Here's the link to the SWI which should match your wire setup.

On the '10, 16 is gray and 15 is black and 6 is white.
