How To Hard Wire SWC / Steering Wheel Control Harness

[@basilmacgill]

What kenwood double din did that harness go to I need that radio

[@bazrippa]

What did you wire the other side of the patch lead to????

[@TheFittingBay]

bazrippa hey mate. patch lead plugs directly into the module. For most head units the other end 3.5mm jack plugs into the unit itself (SWC/REM) plug. On Kenwood either a wire labeled Key 1 or the blue with yellow stripe wire. It’s different depending on the patch lead. That wire goes to the blu/yellow SWC wire from the Kenwood unit

So if we ground the parking brake wire (mine is orange from the HU) to the black wire on my aftermarket harness, will I not be able to use the parking brake anymore? I have an electronic parking brake system.

[@TheFittingBay]

Is The orange park brake wire coming from the steering wheel control module / harness? If so this does not get grounded. This is the signal to connect the park brake wire coming from the new unit. What you want to do is ground the park brake wire on the new head unit side

[@T.hatsAri]

@@TheFittingBay Yeah the orang wire is coming from the New HU. And the black one is coming from the aftermarket harness.

[@TheFittingBay]

@@T.hatsAri Yep then that goes to ground from the head unit just be 110% sure its the correct wire or youll pop a fuse

hi I wonder if you may guide me what exactly I need. Ill buy an boss car radio it has SWC as a 3.5 female jack. My car hasnt from factory with SWC controls, so I want to buy SWC remote control, it comes one or tw remotes and a receiver,this receivers has 5 pin cable positive,negative,antena, key 1 and key 2. My question is? It will be mandatory to buy this kind of traductor device? or is posible to make my own plug 3.5 stereo male conector and solder key 1 as a L signal and key 2 as R signal in the 3.5 stereo plug?

[@TheFittingBay]

Ivan Chang hi mate! Little confused on the last part there. So the car does not have steering wheel controls. 1) you do not need them. 2) if you want them you can purchase the external remotes and they have a 5pin plug at the receiver. What you need to do is connect the 5PIN to the 3.5 bare wires that come with the radio (SWC 1/2). If the unit does not have the plug yes you can use your own 3.5 it needs to have SHEILD / GND / red / white which will be SWC 1/2

[@ivanchang9208]

@@TheFittingBay thanks a Lot , that Is what I need to confirm. That there isn't necesary the adaptor between the 3.5 SWC Jack AND the SWC External remotes with gnd,key1 AND key2. Thanks a lot

[@wesleysmith268]

great video brother , thank you for the info do you think would this work with say a Dodge charger\challenger and a higher-end Pioneer nex unit? I've got a nice frankenstien job going (dont ask too many questions lol) also ,could the part that's supposed to got to a charger steering wheel be replaced by one that goes to say an older Mitsubishi? (I told you dont ask too many questions haha) thank you for your time to anyone that would mind giving feedback im appreciating the learning curve here,but mainly the OP

[@Rcovry]

Great video, I'm about to do this on my 2011 Hilux. Is there any specs I need to look for on aftermarket head unit to make sure it will work with steering wheel controls? Looking at just a basic 1 din Kenwood etc.

Does this will work if i put a gli steering wheel (with controls on it) on a Jetta MK4 2000 with an aftermarket head unit? Just plug and play?

Hey mate, i wanna hook up Tesla style Android unit on my Pajero 2007 with Rockford system. The harness that came with the unit won’t turn my rockford amp on hence i have no sound. Any tips ?

[@arifabdulrasid225]

hello i jst installed my steering wheel control button which only have black n red wire, how can i connect it with the steering wheel control adapter?

[@TheFittingBay]

Arif Abdul Rasid Did the wire come with the head unit?

[@arifabdulrasid225]

The Fitting Bay no

[@tannerrubach3998]

Could I use this to have steering wheel controls for a police siren and lights? If not, what could I use?

[@TheFittingBay]

No you need relays :)

[@declangordon2059]

Hey mate want to do this on ba falcon can you link me a module?

[@TheFittingBay]

I don’t think there is a plug and play module you can only use hard wired / program modules!

Such a good video! Do you have any idea how to wire swc in a jvc head unit (kw-m150bt)? I've got the right aerpro unit for my car (2010 mazda 6), got the jvc patch lead, but can't get it going. I first tried connecting to the steering remote control wire (blue/yellow) but no go. So then I tried connecting to: st remote input 1 (green/red), st remote input 2 (purple red), and st remote grnd (grey/red). Still no luck, I dunno what I'm doing wrong! Would love some advice! Thanks 😊

Hello, Can I connect Audi TT’s (8N | 2000) steering wheel Tiptronic Buttons to audi concert 1?

[@TheFittingBay]

Satanic Panda Hi mate. Tiptronic Buttons are for the transmission. Can you please explain more what you mean?

[@SatanicPanda]

@@TheFittingBay i have steering wheel with tiptronic buttons +/-, i want decode them to control music (volume +/-). is it possible?

[@TheFittingBay]

Satanic Panda Yes it’s possible. It’s not easy though, check out this forum > www.audiforums.com/forum/b5-models-69/steering-wheel-tiptronic-radio-controls-207697/ Someone has done it on a Porsche, same platform as your Audi. Your installation process will be very similar.

Hi l had a new pioneer a340dab from halfords store had it fitted by them and they have tried 3 steering wheel modules and they don't work on my smax 2oo7 what can the problem be 👍

[@Dont-come-at-me-24]

Get them to call connects 2 tech support line, likely they wired it wrong or connected in the wrong order. Done loads of fords and not had a issue with wheel controls

Why don’t your radios come with ISO connections already ? Not seen one with out it since the late 90’s in uk. Even the most of eBay china units come with iso

[@stickboyfpv4742]

Thanks for this! I do have a question though..! I have got everything in and perfect.... but the head unit I have... At like 1 click volume up its pretty loud... like say the volume goes from 1 to 10... at 3 or 4 the volume is really at like 10..! Or 11😜! Its a 9.1 android unit, if anybody knows, please help! Thanks!

Hi mate! What car is it?

[@stickboyfpv4742]

@@TheFittingBay06 civic si coupe!

[@TheFittingBay]

@@stickboyfpv4742 One thing I’m thinking is it might have a factory amp, a factory high level amp and you might need some small resistors on the speaker cables. This happens with VW and Mazda’s with factory amps. The input voltage from the HU is a bit high so the resistors will bring it down a touch. Just confirm first that it’s factory amp like Bose or something :)

@@TheFittingBay oohhhh for sure man! Thanks Ill dig in that direction!

[@traviss6564]

Why did you skip illumination if the wire was right there? I don't know about AUS (I'm just guessing based on your accent), but in the US, Kenwood HU's do dim appropriately when the headlights are on at night. I get not going out of the way to find it...but capping off both orange wires takes just as much effort as connecting and soldering/taping the orange together. Just an observation...well done otherwise.

[@TheFittingBay]

Travis S completely agree. However when it is connected you cannot turn the function off, in most units. So whether you want it on or not it will be on. Most new double dins have automatic dimming (gps/time based) so it’s not like you’re left without dimming 😊

[@energylevels1]

I bought one of these and was told its basically plug and play - it doesn't look like it from this video

[@TheFittingBay]

energylevels1 you need step 2 for it to be 100% plug and play. This is a DIY for people that ONLY have the car side of the plug. they make two seperate plugs with a universal (ISO) plug on the ends of each different plug. This is because not every radio uses the same plug and not every car has the same plug / wiring pin out. So if you’ve got two seperate harnesses, yes it’s plug and play if not, you’re missing one

Heat shrink tubes only cost a few cents dude

It possible sir

[@AJAviator]

Heat shrink... get some. Way more professional than electrical tape...

[@TheFittingBay]

Aidan Mills Heat shrink is good for DIYers who want to look pro but a lot of the time we are working in looms inside cars so you’re dreaming if you think we’re gonna be putting heat guns or flames inside the dash 👍🏽

[@AJAviator]

Sure, but for solder connections on the workbench heat shrink is way better. And there are better products to wrap wiring looms than electrical tape.
