CONNECTIONS

From the AXDIS-PO13 harness to the aftermarket radio, connect as indicated:

Black wire to the ground wire.
Yellow wire to the battery wire
Blue wire to the power antenna wire.
Blue/White wire to the amp turn on wire.
Brown wire to the mute wire.
Orange wire to the illumination.
Red wire to the accessory wire.

NOTE : There will an accessory wire from the Steering Wheel Control harness to connect as well. The following (3) wires are only for multimedia/navigation radios that require these wires.

Blue/Pink wire to the VSS/speed sense wire.
Green/Purple wire to the reverse wire.
Light Green wire to the parking brake wire.

Tape off and disregard the following (8) wires, they will not be used in this application: Gray, Gray/Black, Green, Green/Black, Purple, Purple/Black, White, White/Black Connect the Red and White RCA jacks to the front amplifier output jacks of the aftermarket radio.

From the AXSWC harness to the aftermarket radio:
This harness is only to be used if the vehicle is equipped with steering wheel controls. Connect the Red wire to the accessory wire. For the radios listed below: Connect the female 3.5mm connector with stripped leads to the male 3.5mm SWC jack from the Steering Wheel Control harness. Tape off and disregard remaining wires.

Eclipse: Connect the SWC wire, Brown to the Brown/White wire of the connector. Then connect the remaining SWC wire, Brown/White to the Brown wire of the connector.
Metra OE: Connect the SWC (Key 1) wire Gray to the Brown wire.
Kenwood or select JVC with a SWC wire: Connect the Blue/Yellow wire to the Brown wire. NOTE: If the Kenwood radio auto detects as a JVC, manually set the radio type to Kenwood. See the instructions under changing radio type.
XITE : Connect the SWC (SWC-2) wire from the radio to the Brown wire.
Parrot Asteroid Smart or Tablet: Connect the 3.5mm jack into the AX-SWC-PARROT (sold separately), and then connect the 4-pin connector from the AX-SWC-PARROT into the radio. NOTE: The radio must be updated to rev. 2.1.4 or higher software.
Universal “2 or 3 wire” radio: Connect the SWC wire, (Key-A or SWC-1) to the Brown wire of the connector. Then connect the remaining SWC wire, (Key-B or SWC-2) to the Brown/White wire of the connector. If the radio comes with a third wire for ground, disregard this wire.
NOTE : After the interface has been programmed to the vehicle, refer to the manual provided with the radio for assigning the SWC buttons. Contact the radio manufacturer for more information.

For all other radios: Connect the 3.5mm jack into the port on the radio designated for an external SWC interface. Refer to the manual provided with the radio if in doubt as to where the 3.5mm jack connects. Adding aftermarket camera: Connect the Yellow female RCA cable from the aftermarket camera to the male RCA video wire. Then plug the Yellow male RCA video wire into the reverse camera input of the aftermarket radio.

INSTALLATION

Installing the AXDIS-PO13 Interface:
With the key in the off position:

Connect the AXDIS-PO13 harness to the AXDIS-PO13 interface.
Connect the AXDIS-PO13 harness to the AXDIS-PO13 MOST amplifier interface.
Connect the AXDIS-PO13 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle.
Connect the USB retention harness from the vehicle to the aftermarket radio.
Connect the AXSWC harness to the AXSWC interface, and then to the AXDIS-PO13 interface.

Installing the Fiber Optic Cable:
Removal of the original fiber optic connection is required to adapt to the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) interface. The black connector housing uses a different keyway than the MOST interface.

From the original Fiber Optic Connector: Using a pick tool, carefully pull this tab towards the outside edge for the connector housing. Gently remove the fiber optic insert from the connector.
From the MOST Interface: Using the same steps from above, remove the gray insert from the black fiber optic housing. Replace the gray connector with the fiber optic cables into the MOST interface’s black connector housing.
Plug the MOST connector into the fiber decoder box.

PROGRAMMING

Programming the AXSWC Interface

Connect the AXSWC to the AXDIS-PO13 harness.
Press and hold the Volume Up button on the steering wheel.
Turn the ignition on. The L.E.D. in the AXSWC interface will start flashing rapidly, as the AXSWC interface searches for the auto manufacturer.
After a few seconds the L.E.D. should stop flashing rapidly, then go out for approximately (2) seconds.
After that (2) seconds there will be a series of (7) Green flashes, some short, and some long. The long flashes represent the wires that are connected from the vehicle to the AXSWC interface. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th flashes should be longer.
The L.E.D. will pause for another (2) seconds, then begin flashing Red (up to 23 times) as the AXSWC interface locates the aftermarket radio installed. Refer to the L.E.D Feedback Legend for the number of times the light should flash for the radio installed.
This is the end of the auto detection stage. If the AXSWC interface detected the vehicle and radio successfully, the L.E.D. will light up solid Red. If not, refer to the troubleshooting documents available at axxessinterfaces.com.
Release the Volume Up button. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation before reassembling the dash. Refer to the Steering Wheel Control documents available at axxessinterfaces.com for customizing the buttons, if so desired.

L.E.D. Feedback: The (23) Red L.E.D. flashes represent a different radio manufacturer for the AXSWC interface to detect. For example, if you are installing a JVC radio, the AXSWC interface will flash Red (5) times, then stop. Following is the L.E.D Feedback Legend, which indicates the flash count of the radio manufacturer

L.E.D FEEDBACK LEGEND

KEYNOTES

If the AXSWC interface flashes Red (7) times, and an Alpine radio is not installed, that means there is an open connection not accounted for. Verify that the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.
The AXSWCH-PAR is required (sold separately). Also, the software in the radio must be rev. 2.1.4 or higher.
If a Clarion or Eclipse radio is installed and the steering wheel controls do not function, change the radio to Clarion (type 2) or Eclipse (type 2) respectively. If the steering wheel controls still do function, refer to the Changing Radio Type document available at axxessinterfaces.com.
If a Kenwood radio is installed and the L.E.D. feedback flashes (5) times instead of (2), manually change the radio type to Kenwood. To do this, refer to the Changing Radio Type document available at axxessinterfaces.com.
