Axxess ASWC malfunction?

turbodog · 04-11-2011, 11:13 AM

Hi, been happy with my Pioneer HU and Axxess ASWC for several months.

Recently, I have started having problems where if I push the 'seek/track up' button on the steering wheel, the HU responds as if I pushed 'seek/track down'. Back to beginning of the song. Sometimes I can hold the button in 'seek/track up' and eventually it will start fast-forwarding. Then the buttons work normally... for a while. Other times holding 'seek/track up' just causes it to recycle to beginning of the song over and over.

Then, one time when it was acting up, I pushed the 'source' button to see what would happen... it performed a 'track up'! So, at least i have some way to advance the song when this is happening

When the unit is behaving normally, 'source' , of course, selects the music source.

I checked and the HU responds correctly if I use the front panel buttons, so I'm pretty sure the problem is with the Axxess ASWC (could be the actual steering wheel circuitry, I suppose, but seems unlikely).

Anyone else have problems like this? If so, did you find a fix?

Thanks.

I'd suggest manually reprogramming the Axxess.

I'll probably try that. It's wierd, though, sometimes it works perfectly.

yah, another reason why one might want to just stick to the old fashioned PAC modules i guess.... no issues on mine for yrs.
