I noticed this through monitoring the LED flashes after programming.

To get past this, I had to manually assign each button; one at a time. I did not have to use resistors or anything, just carefull reading of about 20 steps.

First, you must wire the Axxess ASWC per instructions for Nissan 370z. Here are the 370z's instructions:

Second, re-program all the wheel buttong manually following instructions starting on Page 8 where it says "*If the ASWC has been in a vehicle before"
through Page 10 of this pdf:

*Note - You need access to the unit's reset button to manually program.

That did it for me!!

Control Wire 2 Pin # 16

Did my install last night, got the Axxess to work with my base steering wheel controls. There are 3 wires you have to connect from the Axxess module to your Z's stock wiring (pin 6, 15, 16), and also connect the Axxess's black wire to ground, and red wire to ignition. Just use the diagram in that first PDF link, but note that the diagram is illustrated as though you're looking at the connector from the end that plugs into the adapter, not the end where the wires run into the plastic connector. So you have to mentally flip everything. On my Z, pin 6 had a purple-reddish wire, pin 15 was black and pin 16 was blue. Just do what the first PDF says and it should work. Oh, and you definitely have to ground pin 15 (even though it's black, it's not grounded).

Once that was done, I had to perform the Manual Programming/SWC Button Reassignment, which starts on page 8 of the second PDF. Make sure you do step 13 or the programming won't take.
