M/v35 Steering Wheel Audio Controls

[joshm35]

Hey all,

Im trying to install the steering wheel controls and ive connected the 12v wire for the LEDs. The 3 wires that come out the back of the clock spring i have the following questions.

1. To these wires come out behind the stereo to connect to or should i cut them at the clock spring.

2. The sony control plug has red, white& black wires but the clock spring has red, yellow & green. Does it matter what colours i attach to to allow the steering wheels to fuction properly and does anyone have a match up guide for this.

I'd say hit up Chris Rodgers mate he should be able to help you out!

So ive done some research and apparently the plug is there where i need it to be. So looking at this ill be looking at

Black - yellow

Red - red

White - green.

Not keen to over pay. He may know alot but to pricey for me.

Ok so think i have worked it all out

Black - Yellow (earth)

Red - Green (imput 2)

White - Red (input 1) green in picture

Keep us posted if you sort it out mate I tried a while back and it wouldn't work only turned it off and on via the controls . I believe you need some kind of adapter or something in line with it.

That looks right from what I recall, as long as your head unit can handle resistive controls and you can teach it what the buttons do you're all good. If not you'll need an Axxess ASWC-1 or PAC SWI etc.. adaptor. I grabbed an ASWC-1 when i was going to drop a single DIN cheapy in but ended up going a different route.

Ill test it out over the coming days and will know more than.

Cheers mate. I saw that the other day but with mine being a double din i may not need that control box. Once i get a break from the long work hours/daddy duties ill know a little more. Ill take alot of photos throughout the process for a quick writeup with double din (sony) for future installs.

I found the wiring harness behind the stereo. When hooked up it does not read all the switches do i suspect i will need a awsc universal box as mentioned earlier.

Ok. I have found my error. I cut one of the unit control sensors (white) instead of a led earth (pink) as per commsman's write up as my unit did not have this wire. I have recently added in a wire to earth it out. I have tested once i discoverd and corrected the issue and it works with my sony double din without the control box as per last post. So here are some pictures for reference. (No i will not be leaving the wiring like that.... it was to test.

Good to see you have it figured out

That might be what i need to do with mine. As soon as i would plug connector in back of stereo it would turn off. I have an earth wire just floating about. I really dont want to be pulling all the car apart again done it 5 times since purchase haha

The plug is there. Mine was taped to the main harness out of the way. The yellow wire is the earth as per previous posts. Turns out my 2 units are not LED but as i have it working im not too fussed.
