No power / wont go into programming mode:
Check Red wire connection and fuse. Make sure INTERFACE is connected to switched +12 volts, not constant +12 volts.
Make sure vehicle ignition is on.
The INTERFACE controls the stereo immediately without pressing any buttons on the steering wheel:
During programming, press the buttons on the steering wheel rmly UNTIL the left LED turns off. Releasing the button too early
will cause the INTERFACE to send out a signal even when no buttons are pressed.
I am using Version # 3, 8, 9 or 11 and the LED goes out after I push the program button and before I push a SWC button:
Remove any resistors connected to the White INTERFACE wire and ground; then try the program button again.
Detach the White Interface wire from the vehicle. Does the LED now stay on when the program button is now pressed?

If YES: Double check the vehicle wire you are connected to and verify with a Digital Multi Meter.

if NO: The interface needs to be replaced.
The radio changes when the key is off (RAP mode pertaining to GM vehicles) or does not work when the car/truck is running:
The INTERFACE's Red accessory wire needs to be connected to the same circuit as the radio. If you are using a radio
replacement interface that does not supply BATTERY voltage as the ACC. circuit, a relay need to be installed as follows:

Terminal 86 to supplied ACC wire, Terminal 85 to Gnd Terminal 30 to the INTERFACE Red wire and Terminal 87 to BATTERY.
I cannot program the INTERFACE version number:
Is the radio selection switch in position "0"? If so refer to page 5 and select a radio position before attempting to program a
version number.
When programming the SWC buttons, it takes 5 seconds for the light to go out and it never comes back on:
Do the connection instructions say to connect another vehicle wire to ACC voltage or chassis ground? If so, test the circuit with a
Digital Multi Meter (the factory radio must be plugged in) and verify that the factory radio is providing the same output.

The INTERFACE controls the radio whenever the steering wheel is turned (mostly late 80s early 90s Honda/Acura):
Program the INTERFACE for version #11.

Working on a new or unlisted vehicle?
We are always looking for new vehicle information. If youve successfully completed the installation on a vehicle with
steer ing wheel controls, and the vehicle is not listed in these instructions or on our Website, con tact us at

PESWIAKJC
Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface
Before You Start
A. Is this product compatible with the ve hi cle?
See application guide (separate sheet) for listing of vehicles and connection information. If not, check
http://peripheralelectronics.com/peswix.asp for an updated list of com pat i ble vehicles.
B. Prepare for the installation.
If possible, install the PESWIAKJC while you are installing the new head unit. Keep in mind you may need to plug
in the factory stereo to locate certain wires; therefore do not complete the head unit installation until the PESWI-
AKJC is working properly.
Plan a general installation location for both the PESWIAKJC plug and the control body. Keep in mind that the sup-
plied wire harness is two feet long, and the 1/8" plug harness is three feet long.
Use a multimeter or approved measuring device for checking vehicle circuits.

Installation Instructions
For Alpine, JVC Clarion and
Kenwood OEM Steering Remote
Ready Radios
For Alpine, Clarion or JVC radios, connect the PESWIAKJC 1/8" plug into the radio's Steering Wheel input jack on
back of radio or wire harness. For Kenwood radios, connect the blue/yel wire to the Remote Input wire (blue/yel) of radio.
Blaupunkt radios with optional wireless remote inputs are supported by the PESWIAKJC, however we do not
supply any connectors or support for Blaupunkt. It is up to the consumer or installer to supply this connector. Use
vehicle Connector Chart and use VW connector as reference. Connect the PESWIAKJC's blue/yel wire to pin #11 of VW
connector. The connector you obtain may come with two of three pieces, however the connector (usually green) should
show pin #11 on it. 2
Wiring Connections
Step 1.
Connect the BLACK
wire to ground (-).
Veri cation: Wire
or location reg is ters
a con stant (-) when
probed.
Step 2.
Connect the RED wire
to switched +12V.
Veri cation: Wire reg-
isters +12V when the
ignition key is turned
to the ACC or ON posi-
tions.
Step 3.
Connect the ap pro pri ate in ter face wire (WHITE, YELLOW, ORANGE or
GREEN).
Refer to the Identi cation and Connection Chart. Locate the vehicle and
note the SWC wire color in the In ter face Wire Color column.
Note the vehicle wire color and lo ca tion in for ma tion in the Iden ti ca tion
col umn.
Note: You will only connect ONE of these wires. The other 3 wires will not
be used. Cut and insulate the un used wires.
Connect the wire as indicated in the chart.
Note: Only 3 wires will be used during installation. Only GM vehicles programmed for version #4, will use 4 wires.
Step 4a.
C</b>on nect the BLUE
serial data wire.
Connect this wire
ONLY on GM
pas sen ger ve hi cles (no
trucks or SUVs) with
airbags AND steering
wheel heater controls.
For all other vehicles,
cut and insulate the
BLUE wire.
Step 4b.
If instructed by the
Vehicle Application
Guide, cut the
BROWN wire loop and
insulate both halves.
Step 4c.
If instructed by the
Vehicle Application
Guide, cut the VIOLET
wire loop and insulate
both halves, or place a
resistor in-line of wires.
Note: Step 4a is for vehicles made by
General Motors that are programmed
for version #4 only. If no con nec tions is
necessary, proceed to Step 4b.
Step 4
If necessary, perform the following operations as indicated by the notes in Identi cation and Connection Chart.

Testing the PESWIAKJC
(For Version #4 only) Test each Heater function of the
steering wheel controls. The TEMP and FAN should work
properly.
When testing the audio controls, the left LED on
the PESWIAKJC will ash indicating it is sending a
command. If any function does not work, repeat the
pro gram ming in struc tions (starting from Step 11) or refer to
Troubleshooting Guide.

Some vehicles have a separate wire for each of the steering wheel buttons. Use this resistor kit for the steering wheel
push buttons that do not already have a resistor network connected to them. Examples are Nissan and Harley Davidson
motorcycles.
Connect a resistor to each side of a push button and connect the other ends of the resistor all together. Connect the
PESWIAKJC to these resistors. On the Harley Davidson, one button can be connected directly to the PESWIAKJC.
By putting two or more resistor in series, you can come up with additional values. Ex. 150 + 1000 + 1500 = 2650ohms.
