<3 my new HU

kenchan

looks good, jenz. i saw a couple other people placing their mic there. originally i was going to place mine there too, but i decided to place it near the rear view mirror as i could tuck the clip into the ceiling liner more cleanly.



im using a 4yr old peripheral (pac) on my 4500BT and for FM radio, i do need to select the presents on the display to scroll. other then that, everything works. i dont really listen to the radio so this is no issue for me.

i will be installing a 2500BT in the next week or so using a ASWC in my dd. will post back how that works. its on my honda, but it has the same steering wheel controls as my base Z.

I cannot get this thing to work for the life of me...I got the 4500 and nothing works

kenchan

wont even turn on? can you push the reset button?

Cbtech

no it turns on and blinks. followed the instructions to press the volume button up and it reacts but then nothing else. no light blink nothing

kenchan

hahahaha.

you have the ASWC? if so, pm bigaudiofanat cause he seems to know how to work it. the ASWC i have is my very first that i will be attempting to hookup on my dd.

my Z and G, and previous cars all used PAC with no issue.

Cbtech

yeah i only have weekends to get this thing done and the car has been sitting for 2 weeks so i might just conseed and take it to a shop to finish

kenchan

yah, i hear the aswc can be pretty tricky if it doesnt recognize the car and headunit. i think it's suppose to be able to take manual programming too...
but then that completely defeats the purpose, and costs 1.5x more than pac.

Are you certain that you plugged the 3.5mm jack into the right location? (I mention this because I made this mistake originally )

Make certain you are plugged into the "Wired remote input" not the "AUX jack"

Cbtech

I looked at those and pretty sure it was plugged into the correct jack shown below.

if you're taking about the steering control you need to use the 3.5mm input with W/R or R/W or watever on the far right.

i just got done installing a 2500BT in my honda using ASWC. no issues. the scroll in FM is still the same as my PAC in my Z running 4500BT with only going up a few increments in frequency, does not jump to the next preset. oh well. i dont really use FM so no biggie for me.

BT worked and i placed the mic in my honda where jenz has it on her Z.

For the ASWC and the 2500BT, if you have to do the manual programming (page 19 of the AXXESS instructions show the button assignments), you can make the choice of "Seek Up/Next & Seek Down/Prev" or "Preset Up & Preset Down".

I choose the "Preset Up & Preset Down". So in Radio mode, it will switch between your preset stations. In USB mode with a Flash Drive, it will switch between Folders. When I do listen to the radio, I will switch back and forth between 3 different preset stations so this works best for me. Works well in USB mode also -- If I want to go to the next song, I push the "Track" button on the HU -- If I want to go to the next album, I push the steering wheel control.
