AXXESS ASWC on Bose Question

MattP725

Well you live you learn... found out after reading the Service Manual for 2010s (didn't see it mentioned in the 2009 SM) that the steering communicator goes through the bluetooth module before going to the headunit (even the source/volume/preset buttons). Well as luck would have it I had removed the bluetooth module and XM unit when I installed the pioneer ones. Hooked it back up and everything worked. I'll try jumping the BT harness so I can remove it and use the call buttons with my new deck but atleast the volume and other controls function properly now.

BTW on 2010 tourings I used a white and grey wire. Add that to the list of functioning leads.

Went through allot of hastle too. Unhooking the bluetooth module needs to be the first thing anyone should know. You did say you have a Pioneer Z130BT? Tell me about your install. Are you keeping the Bose amp and speakers? I think you said you had a new XM to put in? Wondering if you are getting any bacground noise at all after all installed? Thanks...

Were you guys able to get the phone buttons working and remove the unit? I know there are instructions for jumping the pins on the rear harness. I haven't tried it yet.

My husband is the one that knows on the hookup for sure. I do know we left the bluetooth module in and followed the metra instructions. I think he did a little more on the wiring but will have to wait to talk with him again if you are interested. It didnot work until we finally figured out to unhook the harness. Metra cooperated instantly. Works a little slow here and there with my IPhone hooked up using the steering buttons on changing music I have loaded. Really haven't done to much with it.
Thanks for the link on the harness. This can be used even if you are using the Bose amp and speakers? Is it self explanatory installing? Might need to hook you up with my husband too on this. Tell me more about the xm antenna you can add. He installed the black antenna that came with it on the back wheel well inside under the plastic opposite the gps antennna on the other wheel well inside. I would love to use the stock antenna which is also XM. If you have a link, it would be great.

for the record all the information in this thread is listed on metra's website if you know where to look
