I got the Axxess ASWC working on my 2010 Touring/Sport (with Bose/No NAV) Roadster.
I hooked it up as per the previous post, and it didn't work. The first set of flashes indicated that Grey/Blue was detected (6th flash). The second set of flashes indicated that I had a JVC radio, but I have the Kenwood 9960.
A call to Axxess had me speaking to the rudest tech support rep I have ever met. But that's another story.......the long of the short is that the online instructions had me hooking up the two wires of the ASWC to the opposite pins on the vehicle wiring harness. The correct wiring is Gray/Blue to pin 6 (White) and Gray/Red to pin 16 (Gray), and the ground to pin 15 (Black) was OK. The instructions were backwards.
Also, for the ASWC to recogonize the Kenwood, you have to put a 12000 (12K) ohm resistor in line with the blue/yellow wire of the Kenwood HU (Remote Cont) and the brown wire of the 3.5mm jack of the ASWC.

The above document states 10K Ohms, but Axxess said 12K. Most likely they will both work. I used 12K.

I rebooted the ASWC, and this time it identified the Gray/Red wire (4th flash), and also it saw the radio as Kenwood. I then manually programmed the unit. You then have to remove the 12K resistor and reboot. It will not work with the resistor left in place.
I now have all 3 buttons working, although the phone buttons don't seem to work.....
