The ASWCSTALK is the newest addition to the Axxess steering wheel control  
solution, allowing you to add steering wheel control options to your vehicle. Using  
an aftermarket radio that is equipped with a steering wheel control output, the  
column mounted ASWCSTALK will allow the customer to adjust their radio without  
taking their eyes off the road. The ASWCSTALK will come pre-programmed with  
your most popular features like , volume up, volume down, seek up, seek down,  
and source. The ASWCSTALK also offers the option of remapping the buttons to  
fit every customer needs, this makes this a must have interfaces that the Axxess  
line offers.

Wiring Of ASWCSTALK And Interface  
1. Connect the BLACK wires of the ASWCSTALK and the BLACK wire  
of the interface to ground. You may use the same ground point that is  
used for the radio.  
2. Connect the GREEN/ORANGE and BLACK/GREEN wires of the  
ASWCSTALK to the corresponding wires on the interface.  
3. Connect the RED wire to 12 volt accessory  
4. Connect the GRAY/RED wire of the ASWCSTALK to ground.  
5. Tape off all other unused wires on the interface.  
If you are using an Eclipse or Kenwood radio, plug the female 3.5mm  
connector with the Brown and Brown/White wires into the male 3.5mm  
connector of the interface harness.  
* For Kenwood radios: Connect the Kenwood SWC wire (normally Blue/  
Yellow) to the Brown wire of the interface. Isolate and tape the Brown/  
White wire, it will not be used.  
*The following three Kenwood models, DNX9960, DNX7160, and  
DDX896, need a 10k to 12k ohm resistor between the Blue/Yellow of the  
Kenwood and the Brown wire of the female 3.5 during programming. After  
programming remove the resistor and reconnect the Blue/Yellow and  
brown wire.  
* For Eclipse radios: Connect the Eclipse SWC wires (Normally Brown  
and Brown/Black) to the Brown and Brown/White wires of the interface.  
Brown goes to Brown and Brown/White goes to Brown/Black.  
For all other radios, plug in the male 3.5mm connector of the interface  
into the back of the aftermarket radio, designated for an external SWC  
control interface. Please refer to the aftermarket radios manual if you are  
in doubt where the 3.5mm connector of the interface goes.  
Once all connections have been made, plug in the aftermarket radio if not  
done already.

Programming the ASWCSTALK  
* If this is the first time the ASWCSTALK is being installed:  
1. Turn the ignition on; the led will start flashing rapidly which means the  
interface is looking for the ASWCSTALK and the radio. Go to step 3.  
OR  
* If the ASWCSTALK was installed before:  
1. Turn the ignition on, the led will flash slowly  
2. Hold down the reset button for more then 2 seconds but less then 10  
seconds, the led will start flashing rapidly  
3. The ASWCSTALK INTERFACE will automatically find the  
ASWCSTALK and radio.  
4. After a couple of seconds the led should stop flashing and not light up  
for 2 seconds. At this point do not push any buttons.  
5. After the 2 seconds there will be a series of 7 flashes, some short and  
some long.  
6. The led will pause for another 2 seconds then flash up to 10 times.  
7. This is the end of the auto detection stage. If the ASWCSTALK  
interface detected the vehicle and the radio successfully the led will  
light up solid red.  
8. Make sure the steering wheel control buttons function correctly in the  
vehicle and enjoy your radio.  
If the ASWCSTALK is mounted on the right side of the steering column  
follow the instructions below. (Auto-detect must be done first)  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Turn the ignition on  
Press the MODE on the ASWCSTALK for 10 seconds  
Then press volume up for 2 seconds

4.  
The ASWCSTALK is now configured for the right side.  
Troubleshooting the Auto Detect Mode  
So you tried the auto detect feature and at the end the led did not stay on  
solid red, it started flashing, or the steering wheel controls did not function  
properly. That means the interface did not detect the ASWCSTALK or the  
proper radio. Follow these steps to determine what happened:  
First some basic tips:  
1. Verify that you have 12 volt accessory and a good ground to the  
ASWCSTALK and interface.  
2. Verify that the 3.5mm connector is connected to your radio securely  
and in the correct location.  
3. If using the female 3.5mm connector on an Eclipse or Kenwood radio,  
verify that the radio’s SWC wire is connected to the correct wire on  
the interface.  
Once all the information above has been verified and correct, you  
will need to put the interface back into auto-detect mode. Follow the  
instructions from “If the ASWCSTALK was installed before” section above,  
however this time take notice of the led flashes in steps 5 and 6. Here is  
what the flashes stand for:  
LED Feedback  
The 1st series of led flashes represent the wires that are connected to  
the ASWCSTALK.  
Short flashes represent the steering wheel control wire(s) that are not  
connected to the vehicle  
4
Long flashes represent the wire(s) that are connected to the interface  
3rd led flash is the Green/Orange wire on the interface  
5th led flash is the Black/Green wire on the interface  
If during the auto detect sequence there was no long led flash, just  
short ones, the interface was not connected to the correct wire on the  
ASWCSTALK or the incorrect wire was used on the interface.  
The 2nd set of led flashes represents what brand radio the interface  
believes it is connected to. Each flash is for a different radio manufacturer.  
For example if you are installing a JVC radio the interface should blink 5  
times.  
1st led flash is for Eclipse  
2nd led flash is for Kenwood  
3rd led flash is for Clarion  
4th led flash is for Sony and Dual  
5th led flash is for JVC  
6th led flash is for Pioneer and Jensen  
7th led flash is for Alpine*  
8th led flash is for Visteon  
9th led flash is for Valor  
10th Clarion 5V  
* Note: If the interface flashes 7 times and you do not have an Alpine  
radio connected to it that means that the interface did not see any radio  
connected. Verify the 3.5mm connector is connected to the SWC input on  
the radio.

Remapping the ASWCSTALK  
Let’s say you have the ASWCSTALK programmed to your radio and you  
want to change the button assignment for the steering wheel controls. For  
instance you would like Seek Up to be Mute.  
6
NOTES:  
The interface must have detected the ASWCSTALK and radio it is  
attached to before you can remap any buttons.  
You can only start the remapping of the steering wheel controls  
process within the first 20 seconds of turning the ignition key on. If you  
wait longer then the 20 seconds you will have to turn the ignition off  
then back on again.  
Within the first 20 seconds if any button other then Volume Up or  
Volume Down is pushed, the remapping process will stop.  
If during the remapping process no button is pushed for 30 seconds  
the remapping process is aborted and the original settings are reset.  
So let’s begin the remapping process:  
1. Ideally having the interface visible is recommended since you can see  
the led flashes to confirm button recognition.  
2. Turning off the radio is recommended  
3. Within the first 20 seconds of turning the ignition on, press and hold  
down the Volume Up button for at least 25 seconds.  
4. The led will light up solid red. Release Volume Up and the led will go  
out. Volume Up has now been programmed.  
5. Follow the list below in order however pushing the steering wheel  
control button you want for the function below. If you want to skip a  
command press the Volume Up on the steering wheel, this will tell the  
interface to skip the command and go to the next one.  
1. Volume Up  
2. Volume Down  
3. Seek Up/Next  
4. Seek Down/Prev

5. Source/Mode  
6. Mute

10. Band  
11. Play/Enter  
12. PTT (Push To Talk)  
13. On Hook  
14. Off Hook  
15. Fan Up  
16. Fan Down  
17. Temp Up  
18. Temp Down  
* Note: Remember not all radios will have all these commands. Please  
refer to the radios’ owners manual for specific commands recognized by  
the radio.  
For instance the next command to be mapped is the Volume Down  
command. Let’s say you want the Mode button on your steering wheel  
to be the Volume Down command. Hold down the Mode button till the  
led lights up solid red, and then release it. Now your Mode button on the  
steering wheel is Volume Down.  
6. After the last button is programmed on your steering wheel (you do  
not have to go through the whole list), hold down the Volume Up  
button for at least 10 seconds then the led will go out.  
Or  
8
After the 18th button is programmed or skipped the led will go out and the  
remapping is completed.  
If for any reason after remapping the steering wheel controls you want to  
go back to the original steering wheel control settings, follow the step in  
“IF the ASWCSTALK was installed before”.  
Manually Setting The Radio Type  
1. Within the first 20 seconds of turning the ignition on. Press and hold  
down the original Volume Down button (not the Volume Down button  
you just remapped) for at least 25 seconds.  
2. The led will turn on then release the Volume Down button and the led  
will turn off.  
3. The original steering wheel control settings will be restored.  
1. To manually program the aftermarket radio, press and hold the  
Volume Up button on the steering wheel control until the led goes  
solid red, then release Volume Up.  
2. At this point Eclipse is programmed.  
If you are using an Eclipse radio go to step 3.  
If you are using a different radio go to step 4.  
3) Press and hold Volume Down for 5 seconds. The led will flash once  
then go solid red indicating the programming has finished. Go enjoy your  
radio.  
4) If you have a different radio then Eclipse, press the Volume Up button  
again till the led goes solid red, then release Volume Up. You have now  
9
programmed Kenwood.  
5) Here is the chart to show how many presses of the Volume Up button  
is needed for which radio you are trying to program:  
1st led flash is for Eclipse  
2nd led flash is for Kenwood  
3rd led flash is for Clarion  
4th led flash is for Sony and Dual  
5th led flash is for JVC  
6th led flash is for Pioneer and Jensen  
7th led flash is for Alpine*  
8th led flash is for Visteon  
9th led flash is for Valor  
10th Clarion 5V  
* Note: If the ASWC flashes 7 times and you do not have an Alpine  
radio connected to it that means that the ASWC did not see any radio  
connected. Verify the 3.5mm connector is connected to the SWC input on  
the radio.  
6) Once the radio manufacturer has been selected hold Volume Down for  
at least 5 seconds. The led will flash the number of times which radio was  
selected then the led will remain on to indicate the ASCW has finished  
programming.  
7) Go enjoy your radio.
