HOLLY HILL, FL – Metra Electronics’ Axxess division is adding new features to its ASWC-1 steering wheel control kit through a firmware update.
Available for download on www.axxessinterface.com, the upgrade will give the ASWC-1 the ability to program dual commands to steering wheel control buttons. All the audio buttons on the steering wheel with the exception of the volume UP/DOWN are automatically programmed for a primary and secondary function through our Auto Detect sequence.
An example is the seek up/down buttons can now both seek from station to station or by holding a second longer can skip from preset to preset.
If you don’t like the pre-programmed button functions, you may change them. The ASWC-1 directly plugs into the Axxess radio replacement interfaces for “as close to plug and play as possible,” saving time and preventing errors in the installation bay.
All wiring is performed behind the radio, so there is no need to work in steering column. There is only one part number required, without the need for additional CAN BUS interfaces.
Current inventory be updated using a USB to MICRO B cable (same as your Android phone charger) right in the store. By using the updatable Axxess interfaces, you get the newest parts, with the newest firmware for your customer’s vehicles every time.
