Attention! Do not connect the AX-HYKIA1-SWC harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle just yet. Attention! If retaining steering wheel controls, ensure that the jack/wire is connected to the radio before proceeding. If this step is skipped, the interface will need to be reset for the steering wheel controls to function.

PROGRAMMING

For the steps below, the L.E.D. located inside the interface can only be seen while active. The interface does not need to be opened to see the L.E.D.

  • Start the vehicle.
  • Connect the AX-HYKIA1-SWC harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle.
  • The L.E.D. will initially turn on solid green, then turn off for a few seconds while it auto-detects the radio installed.
  • The L.E.D. will then flash Red up to (21) times indicating which radio is connected to the interface, and then turn it off for a couple of seconds. Pay close attention to how many Red flashes there are. This will help in troubleshooting if need be. Refer to the L.E.D. feedback section for more information.
  • After a couple of seconds, the L.E.D. will turn on solid Red while the interface auto detects the vehicle. The radio will shut off at this point. This process should take 5 to 30 seconds.
  • Once the vehicle has been auto-detected by the interface, the L.E.D. will turn on solid green, and the radio will come back on, indicating programming was successful.
  • Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.
  • If the interface fails to function, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
    Note: The L.E.D. will turn on solid Green for a moment, and then turn off under normal operation after the key has been cycled.

STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS

L.E.D. feedback
The (21) Red L.E.D. flashes represent which brand radio the AX-HYKIA1-SWC is connected to. Each flash represents a different radio manufacturer. For example, if you are installing a JVC radio, the AX-HYKIA1-SWC will flash Red (5) times, and then stop. Following is a legend that dictates which radio Manufacturer corresponds to which flash.

  • Note: If the AX-HYKIA1-SWC flashes Red (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio connected to it, that means the ASWC-1 does not detect a radio connected it. Verify that the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.
    Note: The AX-SWC-PARROT is required (sold separately). Also, the Parrot radio must be updated to rev. 2.1.4 or higher through www.parrot.com.
    Note: If you have a Clarion radio and the steering wheel controls do not work, change the radio type to the other Clarion radio type; same for Eclipse. Refer to the “Programming Information” document online.
    Note: If you have a Kenwood radio and the L.E.D. feedback comes back as showing as a JVC radio, change the radio type to a Kenwood. Refer to the “Programming Information” document online.
    Attention: The Axxess Updater App can also be used to program the following (3) sub-sections as well, pending that the interface has been initialized and programmed.
    Changing radio type**
    If the LED flashes do not match the radio you have connected to, you must manually program the AX-HYKIA1-SWC to tell it what radio it is connected to.

    1. After (3) seconds of turning the key on, press and hold the Volume-Down button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. in the AX-HYKIA1-SWC goes solid.
    2. Release the Volume-Down button; the L.E.D. will go out indicating we are now in Changing Radio Type mode.
    3. Refer to the Radio Legend to know which radio number you would like to have programmed.
    4. Press and hold the Volume-Up button until the L.E.D. goes solid, and then release. Repeat this step for the desired radio number you have selected.
    5. Once the desired radio number has been selected, press and hold the Volume-Down button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid. The L.E.D. will remain on for about (3) seconds while it stores the new radio information.
    6. Once the L.E.D. goes off, the Changing Radio Type mode will then end. You can now test the steering control wheel controls.
      Note: If at any time the user fails to press any button for a period longer than (10) seconds, this process will abort.

Remapping
Once the AX-HYKIA1-SWC has been programmed, the button assignment for the steering wheel controls may be reassigned if so desired. For example, if the Seek-Up button is preferred to be the Mute button instead. Follow the steps below to remap the steering wheel control buttons:

  1. Ensure the AX-HYKIA1-SWC is visible so you can see the L.E.D. flashes to confirm button recognition.
    Tip: Turning the radio off is recommended.

  2. Within the first twenty seconds of turning the ignition on, press and hold the Volume-Up button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid.

  3. Release the Volume-Up button, the L.E.D. will then go out; The Volume-Up button has now been programmed.

  4. Follow the list in the Button Assignment Legend to reference the order in which the steering wheel control buttons need to be programmed. Note: If the next function on the list is not on the steering wheel, press the Volume-Up button for (1) second until the L.E.D. comes on, and then release the Volume-Up button. This will tell the AX-HYKIA1-SWC that this function is not available and it will move on to the next function.

  5. To complete the remapping process, press and hold the Volume-Up button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. in the AX-HYKIA1-SWC goes out.
