INSTALLING THE AX-HYKIA2-SWC

With the key in the off position:

  • Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the AX-HYKIA2-SWC harness, into the interface.
  • For models equipped with a factory amplifier, connect the AXSP-HK (sold separately) to the interface.

 

Attention! Do not connect the AX-HYKIA2-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 THE AX-HYKIA2-SWC

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-HYKIA2-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 (23) times indicating which radio is connected to the interface, and then turn 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 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 Resetting the AX-HYKIA2-SWC.
    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 (23) Red L.E.D. flashes represent a different radio manufacturer for the SWC interface to detect. For example, if you are installing a JVC radio, the SWC interface will flash Red (5) times, then stop. Following is the L.E.D Feedback Legend, which indicates the flash count of the radio manufacturer.

Connections 3.5mm jack steering wheel control retention:

  • The 3.5mm jack is to be used to retain audio controls on the steering wheel control.
  • For the radios listed below, connect the female 3.5mm connector with stripped leads, to the male 3.5mm SWC jack from the AX-HYKIA2-SWC harness. Any remaining wires tape off and disregard:
  • Eclipse: Connect the steering wheel control wire, normally Brown, to the Brown/White wire of 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.
  • XITE: Connect the steering wheel control SWC-2 wire from the radio to the Brown wire.
  • Parrot Asteroid Smart or Tablet: Connect the 3.5mm jack into the AXSWCH-PAR (sold separately), and then connect the 4-pin connector from the AXSWCH-PAR into the radio. Note: The radio must be updated to rev. 2.1.4 or higher software.
  • Universal “2 or 3 wire” radio: Connect the steering wheel control wire, referred to
    as Key-A or SWC-1, to the Brown wire of the connector. Then connect the remaining steering wheel control wire, referred to as Key-B or SWC-2, to the Brown/White wire of the connector. If the radio comes with a third wire for ground, disregard this wire. Note: After the interface has been programmed to the vehicle, refer to the manual provided with the radio for assigning the SWC buttons. Contact the radio manufacturer for more information.
  • For all other radios: Connect the 3.5mm jack from the AX-HYKIA2-SWC harness, into the jack on the aftermarket radio designated for an external steering wheel control interface. Please refer to the aftermarket radios manual if in doubt as to where the 3.5mm jack goes to.

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, you must manually program the AX-HYKIA2-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-HYKIA2-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 the steering wheel control buttons
Once the AX-HYKIA2-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-HYKIA2-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-HYKIA2-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-HYKIA2-SWC goes out.

Dual assignment instructions (long button press)
The AX-HYKIA2-SWC has the capability to assign (2) functions to a single button, except Volume-Up and Volume-Down. Follow the steps below to program the button(s) to the desired setting.
Note: Seek-Up and Seek-Down come pre-programmed as Preset-Up and Preset-Down for a long button press.

  1. Turn the key to the ignition but do not start the vehicle.
  2. Press and hold the desired steering wheel control button for (10) seconds, or until the L.E.D. flashes rapidly. At this point release the button; the L.E.D. will then go solid.
  3. Press and release the Volume-Up button the number of times corresponding to the new button number selected. Refer to the Dual Assignment Legend. The L.E.D. will flash rapidly while the Volume-Up button is being pressed, and then go back to a solid L.E.D. once released. Proceed to the next step once the Volume-Up button has been pressed the desired number of times. Caution: If more than (10) seconds elapses between pressing the Volume-Up button, this procedure will abort, and the L.E.D. will go out.
  4. Press the desired button to store it to memory. The L.E.D. will now go out indicating the new information has been stored to memory.
    Note: These steps must be repeated for each button desired to assign a dual assignment feature to. To reset a button back to its default state, repeat Step 1, then press the Volume-Down button. The L.E.D. will go out, and the dual assignment feature for that button will be erased.
