SWI-RC steering wheel control help

ClrdFrTakeOff

Hey guys. I installed my Kenwood DDX318 today and all is working great with one exception.

I cannot seem to get the steering wheel controls to work. I followed all instructions to the tee (so I think) and they are still being stubborn.

The box itself is set to mode 3 and I set it up to accept mode 3 programming. It even seemed to take the programming of the buttons with no ill effects.

I have 2 questions that could possibly be the issue.

1. In the last stem it says to hook up that blue and yellow striped wire. That was one of the 1st wires I hooked up to the harness. Does it really need to stay disconnected until AFTER I program the box?

2. I grounded the wire for the steering wheel controls (PIN 15) on the car side only. I don't need to ground it on the radio side as well do I? Outside of that, I'm not sure what the problem could be.

Thanks for the help!!
