2. Select desired length rod and thread a 3/8 hex nut on to the shorter
threaded section.
3. Run the four wires from the ASWCSTALK through the rod of choice
and screw it into the ASWCSTALK
4. Take the twist on cover, run the wires through, and twist the cap on to
the ASWCSTALK making sure to align the notches on the cover.
5. Screw the DECORATIVE NUT to the end of the rod with the smaller
end facing the ASWCSTALK
6. Select the desired angle mount and put it on to the rod with the angle
facing away from the ASWCSTALK.

Wiring Of ASWCSTALK And Interface
1. Connect the BLACK wires of the ASWCSTALK and the BLACK wire
of the interface to ground. You may use the same ground point that is
used for the radio.
2. Connect the GREEN/ORANGE and BLACK/GREEN wires of the
ASWCSTALK to the corresponding wires on the interface.
3. Connect the RED wire to 12 volt accessory
4. Connect the GRAY/RED wire of the ASWCSTALK to ground.
5. Tape off all other unused wires on the interface.
If you are using an Eclipse or Kenwood radio, plug the female 3.5mm
connector with the Brown and Brown/White wires into the male 3.5mm
connector of the interface harness.
* For Kenwood radios: Connect the Kenwood SWC wire (normally Blue/
Yellow) to the Brown wire of the interface. Isolate and tape the Brown/
White wire, it will not be used.
*The following three Kenwood models, DNX9960, DNX7160, and
DDX896, need a 10k to 12k ohm resistor between the Blue/Yellow of the
Kenwood and the Brown wire of the female 3.5 during programming. After
programming remove the resistor and reconnect the Blue/Yellow and
brown wire.
* For Eclipse radios: Connect the Eclipse SWC wires (Normally Brown
and Brown/Black) to the Brown and Brown/White wires of the interface.
Brown goes to Brown and Brown/White goes to Brown/Black.
For all other radios, plug in the male 3.5mm connector of the interface
into the back of the aftermarket radio, designated for an external SWC
control interface. Please refer to the aftermarket radios manual if you are
in doubt where the 3.5mm connector of the interface goes.
Once all connections have been made, plug in the aftermarket radio if not
done already.

Programming the ASWCSTALK
* If this is the rst time the ASWCSTALK is being installed:
1. Turn the ignition on; the led will start ashing rapidly which means the
interface is looking for the ASWCSTALK and the radio. Go to step 3.
OR
* If the ASWCSTALK was installed before:
1. Turn the ignition on, the led will ash slowly
2. Hold down the reset button for more then 2 seconds but less then 10
seconds, the led will start ashing rapidly
3. The ASWCSTALK INTERFACE will automatically nd the
ASWCSTALK and radio.
4. After a couple of seconds the led should stop ashing and not light up
for 2 seconds. At this point do not push any buttons.
5. After the 2 seconds there will be a series of 7 ashes, some short and
some long.
6. The led will pause for another 2 seconds then ash up to 10 times.
7. This is the end of the auto detection stage. If the ASWCSTALK
interface detected the vehicle and the radio successfully the led will
light up solid red.
8. Make sure the steering wheel control buttons function correctly in the
vehicle and enjoy your radio.
If the ASWCSTALK is mounted on the right side of the steering column
follow the instructions below. (Auto-detect must be done rst)
1. Turn the ignition on
2. Press the MODE on the ASWCSTALK for 10 seconds
