Just connect key 1, you may not be able to use all the buttons though. Alternatively you can try connecting both key 1 and 2 to the same wire but I'm not sure if that will work
I have a 2005 Ford Focus. I find it odd that my car came with the component speaker spaces in the A-pillars, and an Aux connection in the glovebox, but did not come with steering wheel controls, even though it also has cruise control. Now I want this slick little setup to rectify that.
Thats perfect, i wonder if that work on DEH s510bt, don't have settings like yours, not sure if is possible to program it manually, but it has 3.5mm jack for wheel control...
@@Sawickipedia let say if i don't use the sticky adhesive at the back of the button, but instead i drilled a hole on my steering wheel and installed it flushed on the steering wheel, leaving only the button surface exposed to be pressed.By that logic, im definitely going to make the batteries replacement procedure much more difficult for myself, isn't?
Probably, the sticky adhesive is quite strong so there's really no need to screw them on. The steering wheel on the car I put them in is not a smooth surface and they haven't come off since I installed them 18 months ago
They won't install flush onto the steering wheel as you have the PCB and battery behind the buttons. You could recess them into the steering wheel, but thus would require a lot more work, and you need to watch out for airbags and anything else on the steering wheel
I have been all over the internet for over a week, scratching my head all along just to find some info on this. So lucky that i found your tutorial. I recently bought an identical remote from AliExpress and clueless as to how to hook it up to my sony xav 5000 which also recieves swc inputs through 3.5 mm jack. If my understanding is correct, we don't have a ground to connect to jack, only key1 and key2. In what order did you connect them to jack? There are 3 coloured wires when i spliced the jack.
You are correct with only having key 1 and key 2. You should only need to use the red and white wires coming from your jack. I don't remember which way around I had them but as I said in the video just twist the wires together to begin with. I may take a bit of trial and error to get it right, but it won't harm your stereo, it will either work or it won't. I got lucky first go
@@Sawickipedia thank you so much. Not until i stumbled upon your video, it struck to me that i could hack a 3.5mm jack to get the job done. Kudos to your smart improvisation.
Thanks for the video. I was intrigued because I bought a set of those T3 controls primarily for an Eonon Chinese radio that has the 2 wires (not installed yet) but tried them on a Pioneer just to see if they would work. I think I tried them on an AVH 2700 BT and I also have AVH X390 BS and AVH 2300NEX not tried yet. I dont think it controlled anything on the 2700 and none of these stereos have this SWC set up screen that I can find. The Eonon does have it so I expect it to work well there. Can you shed any light on the model Pioneer you are using and maybe step by step how you found that SWC set up screen? So far I have successfully installed an ASWC 1 in a 2007 Forester and in the process of installing an RFASWC which is what led me to your video. I wish Pioneer would just make a wired controller similar to the BMW Idrive or Mazda type that could be stuck somewhere on the center console. Some people would prefer that to SWC especially in countries with a lot of corners. Thanks.
The swc setup screen is under the general settings on my model. It is a pioneer avh-z5150bt. I think your best bet would be to check the manuals for the stereo's that you have to see if they mention anything about it, you should be able to find them online
There is a link to them in the video description, I think the model is just called T-3 I don't know what Android Pumpkin Radio is, so can't help you there
Hello, i have AV290BT. But in settings i'm missing this Steering Wheel Control function. But my device from what i've read, it works with adapter for steering wheel control. For example, do i need that option in settings to make those button works? Or once i install the modul that comes with them, this option will be open for me or something like that?
On my headunit there is a steering wheel control option under general settings. I don't remember if it only appears after plugging the steering wheel controls in, but I do know that the headunit will have the option greyed out unless it is set to "source off"
Really informative video thank you for posting, just an Idea with the right drill bit you can place holes for them sit flush into the steering wheel, although removal and replacement of the battery would probably be a pain. But thank you helped me understand how these worked
@@salty1234567890 Sorry, I thought you were talking about the wires from the 3.5mm plug. I realise you mean the wires from the controller box. Red should go to your 12v accessories power wire or any 12v source that is live when you turn your key to the acc position. You can also connect the red to a constant 12v source (like directly to the battery) but this will mean it will be constantly powered on and will drain your battery. Black just goes to ground, so any bare metal part of your car or wire it in with the ground wire from your stereo (usually the thick black one)
Do you have to set the keys in the SWC a number of times. That the issue I am having. The Android unit forgets the keys I set and then I haft set em again???
I bought a similar product and they came with a rubber pocket/sleeve thangy so I guess they can be removed/popped out. I'm concerned about the adhesiveness of the supplied double sided sticky tape to mount the "Rubber" pockets to a somewhat rubber textured /soft steering wheel surface. Anyone else have any issues or do they hold up well? And especially in hot weather. Do they adhere or will they be something that requires replacing the double sided sticky every 6 months?
Hey! Where did you get the 3.5mm jack to wire in key 1 and 2? I thought about hacking up some cheap headphones, but I doubt the wires are thick enough for that.
@@Sawickipedia I have no idea how check it, but I have Vitz/Yaris 2008 in which I have Japanese NDDN-W58 stereo. Now let me that is it applicable or not?
They are universal, so yes, they should. Just make sure the new head unit has steering wheel controls input. I think all of the newer Pioneer headunits do. I know the AVH-A215BT does, which is one reason I bought it. Now I just need this slick little gizmo to get it going properly.
I live in Europe (Denmark) and I can't order the product here. Do you know somewhere else where they send the product to Europe? Can't find anything like that product you have.
Wiring from the control box: Red = 12v accessories Black = ground Key1 = red on 3.5mm plug Key2 = black/white on 3.5mm plug You may need to swap key1 and key2 wires if it doesn't work.
I have the same head unit and I have the same controls. My controls don’t match up to the right buttons, they need to be remapped. For instance, my volume up ends up opening the camera. I see you clicked “steering wheel controls.” That option is nowhere to be found on my unit. It’s not in my settings. My manual confirms my unit supports it and it obviously does because I wired it up the same way you did and they work, just not the correct functions. I’m so confused. I wired it up correct thanks to you, but I don’t have that steering wheel control option in my settings despite having the same head unit. I can’t remap my Buttons. How did you get that setting?
It should be under setting and then system (the spanner and screwdriver icon). Mine sits between location setting and restore settings. Note it will be greyed out if there is an active source playing, hit the middle button on the front of the unit and then 🚫 to turn off all sources. If this still doesn't work, try unplugging your swc from the back of the stereo and see if it reappears, if it does then plug your swc cable back in and try again. You may have to turn the accessories off and on between unplugging and plugging back in
Sawickipedia thank you I will try this. I have one last question. Did the “Steering Wheel Control” option exist on your unit before you installed controls? I’m not asking if it was there but greyed out, I’m asking if it even existed whether it was greyed our or not. Was that option on your head unit before you installed the controls? Or did it only appear after you installed them? Thank you!
@@rsg3263 To be honest I can't remember if it was there beforehand. I think that it was. The only other thing that may be worth checking is if the firmware is up to date. You should be able to find it on the pioneer website
