Installation
Note: Some of the newer Kenwood radios will auto detect as a JVC. If this is
the case, use the included 12k ohm resistor in line between the Blue/Yellow
and Brown wire of the female 3.5mm jack during programming only (remove
resistor once programmed).
2) For Parrot Asteroid Smart or Tablet: Connect the ASWC-TOY-LEX male 3.5mm
jack into the AX-SWC-PARROT (sold separately) female 3.5mm jack and plug
the 4-pin end into the corresponding SWC plug on the radio.
Note: AX-SWC-PARROT required (sold separately) and radio must be
updated to rev 2.1.4 or higher.
3) For all other radios: Plug in the male 3.5mm connector of the ASWC-TOY-LEX
into the back of the aftermarket radio, designated for an external steering wheel
control interface. Please refer to the aftermarket radios manual if you are in
doubt where the 3.5mm connector of the ASWC-TOY-LEX goes.
4) Once all connections have been made, plug in the aftermarket radio if not
d one already.
Programming
The ASWC-TOY-LEX will auto program itself through Auto Detect Mode.
1) Turn the ignition on and wait until the LED on the ASWC-TOY-LEX goes solid
(about twenty seconds).
Note: Do not press any buttons on the steering wheel or radio during this time.
ASWC-TOY-LEX
2) Once solid, the ASWC-TOY-LEX should be working.
Note: The ASWC-TOY-LEX will give you two sets of LED feedback reports. The
first set of flashing green LED lights is for knowing the vehicle type and the
second set of red flashing LED lights is for knowing the radio type. Knowing the
vehicle type is irrelevant as this interface is pre-programmed for vehicles in the
application list only. But knowing the radio type is important for troubleshooting
if the ASWC-TOY-LEX does not work. Please see the below Radio Legend for
LED feedback information for radio type.
1) Confirm that the 3.5mm connector is connected to your radio securely and in
the correct location.
2) If using the female 3.5mm connector in Eclipse, Kenwood, select JVC, or Metra
OE radios, verify that the radio's steering wheel control wire is connected to the
correct wire to the ASWC-TOY-LEX.
Note: Not every radio will have all the possible SWC commands on the steering
wheel. Please refer to the radio owner's manual or contact the radio vendor for
specific commands that the radio will recognize.
