I installed a Kenwood DDX790 in my Z today, replacing the non-Bose unit. I was having difficulty getting the ASWC-1 controls to work and called into Crutchfield tech support. We did the auto programming which only programmed the volume button. I explained that I really needed to manually program everything but the Axxess wasn't responding to the inputs for manual programming.

I placed a call to Axxess to talk with their tech support at the request of Crutchfield. He and I went over the wiring and we had everything hooked up according to the instructions provided but he said many Nissans have the wiring backwards so he suggested switching the blue/gray wire with the red/gray wire. We'd already soldered everything in so we just cut the blue/gray and red/gray wires, stripped the wires, butt soldered them together and put some heat shrink over them. It would have been too difficult to go back into the harness and re-do what we'd already done. Little chintzy but what the heck. Anyway, after switching the wires I went through the auto programming method again and all the buttons work!

Kenchan - I was able to get the auto programming to work on all my buttons with the ASWC!

Maybe it's b/c I had the non-bose and this isn't an issue but in all my searching I didn't read anywhere that folks were having success with the ASWC and auto-programming.

Interesting. So ur telling me my past frustration, and high blood pressure was probably caused by but reversing two wires. Smh! Honestly I'm just glad mine works cuz I was real close to giving up and running that black box over lol

I couldn't believe it. I kept telling them the auto program wouldn't work...I had to eat crow but I did so happily.

out of curiosity where did you mount the box and also did you put the dash pieces together and have to take it back apart to get to the box? I'd thought about calling the axxess # & Crutchfield when i was having difficulty but i assumed they wouldn't assist w/o proof i bought it directly from them instead of through a 3rd party such as Amazon.

So glad i didnt misplace mine because after I switched to Kenwood, it came in very handy.

I called axxess and they told me what colors to splice so it wasn't so bad.

if all else fails make sure the buttons are actually producing a voltage change when pressed, (when connected to the SWC -Steering Wheel Controller) if no change in voltage there is nothing to learn!
Always make sure there is voltage applied to the SWC and that the wires have voltage change when the buttons are pressed!
Not all SWC controllers can use ALL the buttons, YMMV.

The box is sitting behind the cubby where the screen would be in the Bose unit cars. I wrapped it in bubble wrap so it wouldn't vibrate around. I tested the unit before putting everything back together.

I ended up seating mine at the shift boot so if it started acting funny I wouldn't have to rip my whole dash apart

I installed this over the weekend and I had the same issue. You have to remapp the Assexx, if you go to the back of the booklet it tells you how to remap, you basically have to skip the seek and mute by pressing the volume button up for a second and then it goes to the next function. And no you do not have to take apart the dash for this (although it does help to see the light flashes)

I finally got everything to work the way I wanted just took some tinkering around. Great and easy product to use. Didnt have any need to swap any wires or anything. Grey/red went to Pink and grey/blue went to its corresponding wire.

I'll be doing this install this week on a base 2010 and pioneer avic unit.
