How to activate Pioneer steering wheel controls

[@jasonmurray8118]

You, sir, are a dead set legend. Steering control buttons stopped working after I removed the battery and you helped get them working again. Thank you!

[@keithtomlinson6869]

You bloody beauty. I thought the money i spent on an adapter to enable steering wheel controls was wasted. Nowhere did it mention this hack in the manual. Been travelling without steering controls for a week since install. Many, many thanks!

[@kodawhitney9273]

Absolute legend! I was freaking out thinking I’d have to take it back out when I replaced my battery. Saved my night.

[@anthonymoy]

This may very well be the best video on all of KZbin!! My entire weekend of screaming and crying just came to an end in less than 2mins!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Glad we could help Anthony, Sling us a Google review!

[@dustinjamal8689]

I realize Im pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released series online ?

[@airosole]

Would be handy if you showed the screen when saying "just press on this" so we could see.

[@MINDTHEHEADPHONE]

I love when I find videos like these. Wonderful people just wanting to help out others. Many many thanks!

[@colormeBREAD]

Thank you!! After a service the controls stopped working and this video helped me get them set up again! I even managed to change the useless Mode button to AV Source, which helps immensely.

[@vinithvindula7336]

Spent an entire day scrolling through everything and finally found this video Thank you very much for this

[@TonberryMishima]

[@Timid1BehindTheScene]

Thank you so much i was getting so upset over not being able to use my steering wheel buttons after all the time i took in installing my radio, you,re a life saver

[@m4nu507]

Bro u saved me a trip back to the shop, they changed my car battery and some settings reset. I was pulling me hair trying to figure out why that setting was grayed out 😂, ma hero!

[@Sophia_NZ]

Had the head deck in for over 3 years now lol Finally can use the steering wheel controls. Something so fricken simple *face palm* Thank you :D

[@ShaneRoberson]

Awesome. This did the trick! Been scratching my head trying to figure out why I could not access it! Thanks!!!

[@jackocieslik]

You’re a bloody legend was spewing until I saw this vid. One of the best vids on KZbin

[@ericmccolough2482]

THANKYOU, you'd think Pioneer would print this clearly in their guide with a battery disconnect so freaking common!

[@lauriedaniels8782]

Brilliant, thank you. I lost my steering wheel controls after doing a Restore. Now they're back thanks to you. Champion !

[@bhileshwartrilochun1062]

Thank you so much! You're a legend. Dealership changed my battery and wouldn't work. You saved me so much time and headache! 😊

[@taylapitt]

We all said it❗️You know it❗️ ABSOLUTE LEGEND! I had no idea what was going on with the head unit and in 2 minutes you fixed the problem

[@dynamiclocksmiths-darren]

O M G...... you are a bloody legend, spent 2 days trying to get steering wheel controls to work on my VF commodore with a wireless Pioneer unit.

[@reeceg6058]

Great video- thanks! I lost the steering wheel controls when changing the battery. This video resolved my issue.

[@arijitdasgupta1706]

This may be an old video but this saved me a trip to the mechanic. Many thanks for this tip😄

[@nvmyutube]

Thankyou, through doing that trick i worked out my handbrake signal wire wasnt getting signal... frustrating as hell, but its all sorted now :)

[@davidsobin2405]

Maaaaate. Wish I found this video an hour ago. Thanks so much. Saved me an embarrassing trip back to the auto elec.

[@anirudhcarani735]

Simple trick, but so helpful. Was breaking my head before watching your video.

[@RoyElias1977]

i has this issue after changing my Camaro battery, the electrician wanted 50$ to fix it , nice i watched ur video and not paid that thief any money , thank you

[@kiwislark1178]

Thank you! I have set up the controls before but forgot this step this time and found your video which reminded me to turn off the Source first!

[@michaelyoung6614]

Thank you! Just got my battery replaced and needed to set the steering controls again. It was driving me nuts. Easy fix with this great info!

[@paulrowett727]

i had to replace my battery on my prado 150 and when i was finished the steering controls wouldnt work until i watched your video. so thanks for the tips.

[@grously]

Hi. I have PIONEER DMH-A340DAB there is no option "source off " I don't have even "steering wheel control" option. But that model have option to use steering wheel control. But is not exist in the menu. So except throwing to trash bin that trash radio what I can do? Pionner is not responding at all.

[@kosmastsortanidis2727]

I have the same problem

[@davidblake8612]

Oh man, couldn't work out why the controls were disabled, thanks so much.

[@mariodds6476]

if it was not for this guy i would be hunting wires fir ages . thank you thank you . you dont find that little tip any where

[@TheDJRiffin]

Life saver! Didn't even think to turn it on in settings haha.

[@adammilanovic3650]

Thanks mate, it was driving me nuts having it greyed out 😂

[@mercyrx3455]

Just reconnected a battery and for got the whole ‘source off’ thing. Thanks again 😊

[@ApothercyCold]

Thanks man. I had to replace my battery, and it's been so long that I totally forgot about source off.

[@elenoas2795]

Lifesaver! Like the other comments, probably the best video on KZbin for solving steering wheel control woes!

[@saketjoshi4476]

Thank you for telling me that I have to switch the source off. Thank you so much.

[@peterkalenderian7033]

Happen to disconnect my battery had same issues with Sterring control not working….it seem I can’t locate we’re source page is on video to turn it off as you it was difficult to hold camera….any suggestions would be appreciated

[@CT-ex9dp]

Thanks so much for saving me time. Finally managed to get it to work.

[@wildlifesa3165]

Thanks for this got it working but it doesn't save. Every time I start the car I have to reset it. Any ideas on this?

[@ewanmcdean1841]

My radio doesn’t have an option for steering wheel controlls

[@mrfusion180]

Mate I can’t thank you enough!! My car was worked on a few weeks ago and the controls stopped working. Pulled the stereo apart and was also pulling my hair out at the same time. My audio controls are working again on the steering wheel 👍🏻💪🏻

[@Ballmead]

Thank you! Don't forget to ground the teal handbrake cable too. I needed to do this also on my Pioneer DMH-Z5350BT

[@msmith909]

Did you connect the teal handbrake cable from the iso harness directly to metal?

[@Ballmead]

@@msmith909 yes, that's correct.

[@sathyajithkarunarathna7660]

Thanks you bro, it worked without getting out the set.. you made my day..

[@nicoleclissa4352]

Hello! Great video 🙂 I have a Mazda 3 BL and pioneer z5350bt head unit. Purchased step 1 & 2 of the corresponding Aerpro harnesses, followed your video but still, steering wheel controls are not working. Ive tried unplugging everything and plugging back in again but the menu option is still greyed out and I cannot select it. Do you have any other tips?

[@danielolito]

Hey I’m having the same problem just wondering if you solved it

[@Leemayzes1]

@@danielolito I have heard you have to ground the handbrake cable too, haven't tested yet though

[@charodejalo]

Awesome. Needed this after new battery. Was thinking I had to pull the whole radio out again. Glad I didn't

[@Plimm14]

Great video mate, just a little thing that most people don’t know. Appreciate the shared info

[@kosmastsortanidis2727]

I am just bought the dmh-340dab radio but there are some problems with the menu and i mean that when i touch the settings button it opens a menu with less options than it had to be. For example there is no list of options with the "star" in front of them as you show in this video. Is there a possibility that I have to "unlock" something in the menu?

[@elliottpetri4325]

you are the real mvp i was ready to pull it all apart

[@FastLaneFPV]

Had it greyed out and had no idea how to get it working. Thankyou! Now to find what cable to earth for BT

[@cameroncox3520]

Thanks so much! This worked perfectly once I had source set to off on a mercedes b200

[@davemcc1578]

Awesome, had just replaced the battery and was worried I'd need to pay someone again to sort it. Phew.

Please put that link you mentioned in the video description brother.

[@Universalfuzedotcom]

Done my friend!

[@DominicGichane]

@@Universalfuzedotcom thanks

[@Bjm365]

Thanks for the info. Quick question though, does the programming go via BCM or can the Steering wheel be wired directly and independently?

[@luischu]

Great Tip!! Now i have another issue , from the 7 buttons on the steerl wheel , i it not detect 3 buttons, i can set 4 of the 7 buttons. Any advices or recommendation?

I’ve done this and it fixed my audio control issues, but after the car turns off it resets again back to having audio control issues, can anyone help???

[@joaomenino5101]

Hello, I'm sorry but maybe you can help me, I have a pioneer sph-da360dab and it has a connection for steering wheel controls but in the radio settings menu there is no configuration option. Which pioneer models have this configuration menu? thank you very much

Does this work for a Toyota Yaris and the pioneer SPH da110?

[@danielwilberforce7400]

Great video thanks. Got my work vehicle back from a service and it had been disconnected from steering wheel control and greyed out ever since due to them removing battery. Thanks I'm up and running! Tip would be to select to set up with adapter as a guess then if it's not automatically set up opt for manual setup without adapter.

[@kevinchronic12]

Hi i dont have this SWC in my pioneer AVH-Z3100DAB

I have a Pioneer AVH 2490BT, Is this applicable? I am unable to find a steering wheel option in the menu.

[@emmanuelgutierrez6306]

If you steroe has the built in steering wheel control you dont need to get the steering wheel harness?

[@Universalfuzedotcom]

it still needs to be connected. It doesn't work wirelessly. Please see your user manual for more information

[@jeeastee]

Thank you for the wiring diagrams!

[@calvinzhang3899]

In Japan, there are steering control kits, which can plug directly into the unit, would it work with this unit in Australia?

[@Universalfuzedotcom]

There are those in Australia too. See your local Car Audio Masters store cam.net.au/find-your-local-cam-store/

[@mrfour2049]

When i try without adapter i can only program volume up or down, not both. Then if i do it without adapter it sets up fine an all works until i turn unit off. Something is wrong and i dont know what

[@HEATH3NRacing]

What menu is this under? I am not seeing this on my pioneer avh-4500nex

[@supunpetta2248]

Can you please help, I have a pioneer single DIN DEHX7850BT it has steering wheel control presets , but for some reason will only register the volume up, when I try volume down it says to try again

Can someone tell me where is the link to the website, or share the diagrams for an Audi. Thanks in Advance

If it still doesn’t work. Make sure the light green wire is earthed out.

[@ashwynfernandes]

Great video mate, thanks for sharing. I run the AVH-ZL5150BT in my FJ and love it! I was wondering if you know if it can be set to power on only once the vehicle is running? The problem is, I usually turn the ignition on and leave it until all electronic diagnostics are completed before I turn the engine over. This causes the unit to power on, shut down and power on again every single time. This is quite annoying as I’ve got the screen position set at an angle. I know this can be controlled in some of the Kenwood units, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set the delay on this.

[@jraddd3477]

Does it work on your FJ without an adapter?

[@user-njyzcip]

I think you need to have the ignition wire on the unit connected to a sensor that outputs 12v (or 14.4v in this case) only when the engine is running. If your car doesn't have an output you can get an device that splices into your CANBUS or plugs into your OBD2 socket, and outputs a voltage once the engine is running.

[@ashwynfernandes]

@@user-njyzcip thank you, will look into it.

[@ashwynfernandes]

@@jraddd3477 I had it professionally installed, but I'm pretty certain they used an adapter.

[@adrianborsje9700]

[@JB-qc4ju]

Hopefully you’re able to reply but I followed these steps and it’s detecting the car and all but once it finishes connecting to the adapter the steering wheel controls aren’t assigned properly and don’t work well. Do you think it’s my controls going out or is it my adapter not reading correctly? Thanks for any advice and help in advance.
