Axxess Steering Wheel Controls

[freddy6]

Hi All,

I recently swapped out the head unit in my v35 for an Alpine IVE-W530ABT double din unit, I've paired this with a Metra Axxess ASWC however have one issue. The radio stations won't skip between preset stations all they will do is try to tune using the steering wheel controls.

I contacted metra support and they said this is the way alpine units are programmed. Has anyone had the same scenario and managed to get around by programming the unit manually?

Thanks for any help.

I have purchased the Axxess SWI too - yet to receive it though. ButI have found this thread on G35driver to be invaluable

Steering Wheel Interface: - Use this PAC SWI-PS for Pioneer X920BT, Z110BT, Z120BT or Z130BT - Use the Metra Axxess ASWC for ALL others. (Instructions for installing the ASWC into a G35 can be found here

Thanks for that I actually used that guide to make sure I had all the necessary parts.

What I really need to know is can I just remove the preset up/down commands? I know this isn't really the forum for it I'm just hoping someone else has an alpine setup.

Have a look at this manual

Pg 9 onwards tells you how to manually program, steps 7&8 re for preset up and preset down. If that doesn't change the way your HU responds then I guess it a comparability issue.
