•
male 3.5mm SWC jack from the AX-CH5-SWC. Any remaining wires tape off and disregard.

the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire, normally Brown/White,
to the Brown wire of the connector .
• Metra OE: Connect the steering wheel control Key 1 wire (Gray) to the Brown wire.
• Kenwood or select JVC with a steering wheel control wire: Connect the Blue/Yellow wire to the
Brown wire.
Note: If your Kenwood radio auto detects as a JVC, manually set the radio type to Kenwood. See
the instructions under changing radio type.

INSTALLING THE AX-CH5-SWC

With the key in the off position:
• Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the AX-CH5-SWC harness,
into the interface.
Note: For the Fiat 500L and Ram Promaster City, do not connect the harness to the
vehicle yet.
• Connect the AX-CH5-SWC harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle.
Note: If retaining steering wheel controls, ensure the jack/wire is connected before
proceeding onto the next step.

INITIALIZING THE AX-CH5-SWC

For the steps below, the Red L.E.D. (located inside the interface, next to the potentiometer)
can only be seen while active. The interface does not need to be opened to see the L.E.D.
• For the Fiat 500L and Ram Promaster City only: Turn the hazard lights on.
• Turn the hazard lights on.
• Turn the key (or push-to-start button) to the ignition position, the L.E.D. will turn on.
• Within a minute, the L.E.D. will turn off for a couple seconds, then flash slowly (up
to (18) times, indicating which radio is connected to the interface), and then turn
off. Pay close attention as to how many slow flashes there are. This will help in
troubleshooting, if need be. Refer to the L.E.D. feedback section for more information.
• Within a few seconds the L.E.D. will turn on, and the radio will turn off.
• Within a minute the L.E.D. will turn off, and the radio will come back on, indicating
the initialization process is successful.
Note: If the radio does not come back on within a minute, the interface is not
communicating to the vehicle. Turn the key off, check all connections, and then try
again. The interface may need to be reset at this point.
• For the Fiat 500L and Ram Promaster City only: Turn the hazard lights off.
