This is the information I looked for. Thanks to it I've found that in Vauxhall/Opel Zafira A and Astra G (and probably in all others of that generation) "key" wire is located in ISO connector on Pin 1 (thin blue/red wire). Beware because there are two blue/red wires - one is marked on drawings as remote control (so that what we need) and second is named as speed meter (I think it may be changing audio volume according to car speed). So that wire has resistance of 3,2KOhm and when pressing buttons the resistance falls to values from 1500 Ohm down to 150 Ohm - depending which button is being pressed. I guess that should work with all these cheap touchscreen radios - very goo idea they had indeed that they've made that feature.
Johndragonman..... you are the ultimate life saver. After countless shops saying getting steering wheel control were impossible, I found your video. Thank you thank you thank you
Yey! finally! Thank you so much mate!. Indeed you derserve a medal!, I've searched for almost a month and couldn't find why my steering wheel buttons didnt work. You save my month haha. Cheers!
Great information!!! I have a 2013 Subaru STI and I purchased a Metra Axxess ASWC-1 to retain my steering wheel controls with my Joying 8-inch Octacore Head Unit. After watching your video I think that I didn't have to use the ASWC-1....just use the proper ground with Key1 & Key 2.
I have been working for hours before finding your video, but it is not entirely clear to me yet. Do you connect one of the steering wheel control wires to a ground wire from the car, or to the wire labeled 'ground' that is connected to the unit? Thanks
Thanks for the video. I tried the 1 wire to radio and the other to ground, but i did not know about the settings. Its to late to go outside now but ill give it a try tomorrow. Im working with an Atoto6 unit. it has the 2 + wires out of the unit. the car is a Kia Magentis. 2 wire resistance from the steering wheel. Again thank you so much.
@@waynesmith4116 yes 1 wire from the wheel was the signal wire and the other one went direct to ground. Worked perfectly. Then found the menus in the head unit and programmed the buttons.
Your video helped me immensely with the steering wheel buttons in my 2014 Mazda CX-5. The Android unit is similar to yours. Once I found which pins on the wiring harness were ground & Key1 it was a snap. Everything works except the INFO button, but the important ones do. Maybe that's Key2? Anyway, thank you!
@@johndragonman There is a Key2 wire coming out of the head unit, and I'm pretty sure (ok, guessing) I know which is the Key2 in the wiring harness. Maybe there's a limit to the number of buttons per key.
@@lansaguy yeah that's pretty much why there's 2 wires.. some buttons have the same resistance on the same steering wheel so it's why it has 2 wires. some head units only have one "key" wire.. worth noting. as for your car I do not know the wiring of it.
My dodge grand caravan 2006 worked. The wiring that goes to steering wheel switches cut it. Then take the 2 wires to ground, and the key1. The airbag light does Come on. So you must put a jump resistance back going to the computer of car. You need a factory manual to see what your steering wheel switches are.
A videóban a peugeotnak canbus nélkül 4 gombot kell beállítani, nekem a fordban csak 3-at. A videó erre megoldás. A multimédia kapcsolónak 2 vezetéke jön a rádióhoz. Az egyik a földre megy, a másik a KEY1-re vagy a KEY2-re.
Zsolt Szép Szia! Én Lancernél akadtam el hasonlo Androidos fejjel. Szamomra nem egyértelmű, hogy melyik két vezeték jön a kormany gombjaibol. Két nagy csatlakozo ment az eredeti radioba, abbol csak az egyiket kellett felhasznalni. A masikban keressem?
I have the Citroen c2 and a similar head unit. I have the same issue that you had. What colours were the cables you spliced into on the stall controls? (I’m having issues finding any resistance on them but they do work as they worked on the old standard radio)
Can't you connect it to the wires that the Axxess ASWC-1 would normally connect to for your car? The Axxess manual point out which wires to tap into, just tap into them directly without the module. And you can view them manual online without buying it.
Well I have strange issue with my steering wheel control. I did the same thing as you - key1 to first wire from SWC and second wire from SWC to ground. My android stereo register button press straight away without me touching the SWC. It's like there is some kind of shortage. Ford focus mk2 2005
I will try it on my mini cooper R53 and joying interface , i've connected key 1 and key 2 and and everythings is working badly (the unit see something but it is uncontrolable), maybe be it will work !
Hello, I am having trouble with a Joying Head unit with Intel Sofia 3GR for Ford Focus 2012 Titanium and SWC. My buttons are all mixed, when I press a button the app recognizes but the values are too low. On the SWC app, the resistance numbers are all around 30 by default, when I press a button it changes to 16, 20, too low values. About wiring we are taking the ground from the head unit itself, and tested with Key1 and Key2 separately. On the car side everything is fine. We placed a multimeter in the car wires directly to see what the car sends to the player and the multimeters reads resistances around 250, 500, 1000, 150. All high and different. So we took an arduino with some resistor and simulated the Steering Wheel buttons and we were not able to make it read values over 30, only small values. We tested Key1 wire and Key2 Wire.
Igo Amorim hmm interesting. I know modern cars use canbus to control the head unit. I had hell with a Volvo trying to get a head unit to work with the steering controls. I never did get them to work. What I did was ground one wire from the steering wheel controls then just connect the other one to the key 1. I do not know any other way you could do it. Maybe connect both wires to key one and key two.
Basically, steering wheel to ground (earth) & K1 or K2 taps into steering wheel signal (input or output). Would this be Accurate to retain the SWC for a aftermarket stereo? [ I have a '97 BMW e39 540i ]
Hi. I have same unit , different car with can bus . i bought correct can interface with patch lead which contain cables : key1 key2 and gnd . I guess they are equivalent of two swc cables and GND am i right ?
Hi friend I have Touareg 2005year,and steering wheel control goes on CAN BUS and radio have CUN-BUS box.....but only volume up and down work....how to I get switching songs and radio stations ???? Can I connect one CAN BUS wire from car to KEY wire from radio...???? Thanx
How do I program my on hook and off hook buttons for my steering wheel controls? Only volume up and down, next and previous work. For some reason I can only program 4 buttons. Please help
Hello... I have a kia proceed 08 ... And i bought a 2 din imars7 which say that it already has a wire for the steering wheel... But the guys that installed it they said that i should buy an adaptor... Will it work for me ????
Sadly I don't know the car.. I would have thought with it being a 2008 it would have canbus so it may need an adaptor... my guess would be to look on forums online.. some one must have been In your position before and logged it on a thread somewhere.
I can't be sure but try this.. 2 wires should be coming from the steering column.. one needs to be grounded the other goes to the key 1 wire So long as you don't connect anything to a live you can't damage anything :)
I didn’t connect it to the ground. I tired each keys and 2 together. The wire on the truck is called PCI Bus, and then I connected 1 I got abs light and when I connected 2 together I got “ no bus” message on the dash.
I’m using axxess aswc1-c. I connected key1 to brown and key2 to brown white and still no luck. I tried connecting one of they keys to the ground and what happened was all keys where saying success when tried to program it without even pressing the buttons
Are key1 and key2 positive and negative respectively? My after market Sony xav 5000 has 3.5 jack for inputs from steering wheel controls. The jack has 3 terminals. It has a ground lead. Then input1 and input2. But the problem is that the universal steering wheel controls has only 2 output leads namely key1 and key2. Can you figure out where I get the ground from? are key1 positive and key2 negative?
think about it key1 for 4 functions sw (vol + - and track forward track reverse ) key 2 is for other function wireless bt call answer navigator if you have it in steering whells. you can wiring them key1 and ground + key 2 and ground. the keys are positive, ground is negative . you can get ground from back head unit(black cable)
Am a bit confused. No from my car there are 2 wires from the factory plug for steering wheel. So do I just connect one SWC1 to one of the wires? If so, what do I do with the other wire?
if it has 2 wires, it may be CANBUS.. you would have to check. if not, all you need to do is run one wire to ground from the steering wheel buttons, and one wire from the head unit to ground, then just connect the 2 remaining wires from the headunit and steering wheel buttons together.
I got one of this. Looks good. But after 1 day, the screen went off and won't come back on... WTF! All it does is flicker's but all the control buttons are lite in white. The screen won't come back on. I've contacted the seller a tap lol. Do you know what could wrong?
@@bigshai411 hmm sounds to me like that damn annoying ribbon cable that connects the screen to the rest of the unit. its so crazy fragile its insane. i had to buy a new one for mine from the seller. when it arrived i glued it together with a 2 part epoxy glue so it will never fail again!
@@johndragonman really well am gonna be returning the Dammam thing back to the seller. Am shocked. It was installed with no issues. Car drove and all functions worked well. I don't understand how it could have gone crazy after a day. Not as if someone pulled it or anything

you need to find steering wheell butons wires.i think its 3 cable of 5 cable.if you have multimeter try to find function 1 and function 2 and negative cable.if you do , connect them to unit like ; function 1 cable to key 1. ground to ground (negative and head unit negative cable its colour is black)..function 2 to key 2 and ground to ground
Hmm not sure if it's canbus.. I am not in the know with Vauxhalls.. tried Google? If you can find out if it is canbus, a box will be available to adapt it I'm sure.
When I connect key 1 or 2 to ground the unit already recognizes as a push button, did I do something wrong? did anyone else have this problem? i have a VW polo confortline (2014). head unit ck-1018 android
@@axl5190 easy way to do it is to earth one wire from the steering wheel as it should have 2 wires coming from it.. then connect the other wire to key 1 or 2. ( it does not matter which one as you only use one of the "key" wires). Then it will see it as a resistance value.. given it's not canbus..
So i have 2 wires on my head unit( it is the same like yours)KEY 1 and KEY2. The car is Peugeot 207 and i checked on Wiring Diagram of factory radio and there are two position CAN data low and CAN data high. Which cable i will must to connect to work perfectly? Thank in advance
Sadly if it is canbus you will need an adaptor decoder. Don't cut through any car wires.. go on ebay or where ever and get one of the connects2 wiring harness. Make sure it is for a generic or learning type head unit. You will then have 1 or 2 output wires and an earth. Just connect one of the output wires to one of the key wires and the earth to the earth on the radio harness.
@@johndragonman No do not have a canbus for head unit. I think that must to connect for these 2 cables which i have in my car. but how to connect KEY1 to Can data low or Can data high. Also i think that must be connect KEY2 to ground cable of Head unit. What do you think?
@@petarpetrov2893 like i say, CAN data (canbus) is a digital system, you need to have a decoder to listen to the specific code that is generated when you press a button on the steering wheel. the decoder will then convert the digital signal to a analogue restive signal that the head unit will be looking for. sadly i cant post links but if you google "canbus to restive headunit adaptor" you will see how it works :)
i have the same "steering control app" and its showing 255 on all of them and no matter what button i press it doesn't do anything BUT the steering buttons actually work perfectly its only not letting me "rebind them to my liking" any ideas why is this happening ?

hello. i have a chinese headunit and hyundai tucson2012. can you help me make it work please? :(
they can be hard to figure out. what is the issue?
@@johndragonman my steering wheel is not working. i have KEY1 and KEY2 on my headunit and dont know where i should tap them on.
@@axl5190 easy way to do it is to earth one wire from the steering wheel as it should have 2 wires coming from it.. then connect the other wire to key 1 or 2. ( it does not matter which one as you only use one of the "key" wires). Then it will see it as a resistance value.. given it's not canbus..
So i have 2 wires on my head unit( it is the same like yours)KEY 1 and KEY2. The car is Peugeot 207 and i checked on Wiring Diagram of factory radio and there are two position CAN data low and CAN data high. Which cable i will must to connect to work perfectly? Thank in advance
Sadly if it is canbus you will need an adaptor decoder. Don't cut through any car wires.. go on ebay or where ever and get one of the connects2 wiring harness. Make sure it is for a generic or learning type head unit. You will then have 1 or 2 output wires and an earth. Just connect one of the output wires to one of the key wires and the earth to the earth on the radio harness.
@@johndragonman No do not have a canbus for head unit. I think that must to connect for these 2 cables which i have in my car. but how to connect KEY1 to Can data low or Can data high. Also i think that must be connect KEY2 to ground cable of Head unit. What do you think?
@@petarpetrov2893 like i say, CAN data (canbus) is a digital system, you need to have a decoder to listen to the specific code that is generated when you press a button on the steering wheel. the decoder will then convert the digital signal to a analogue restive signal that the head unit will be looking for. sadly i cant post links but if you google "canbus to restive headunit adaptor" you will see how it works :)
i have the same "steering control app" and its showing 255 on all of them and no matter what button i press it doesn't do anything BUT the steering buttons actually work perfectly its only not letting me "rebind them to my liking" any ideas why is this happening ?
thank you
does it work with phone controls as well .
baits if your car has it with resistive buttons then yes.
can you still use the phone controls off key one with the radio controls .
Thanks sir
No sun there? XD
Save electricity.
Hoping I love you!! Lets go find out!🤣🙏
did it work?
@@johndragonman hahahah sorry man! YES it did work on my 2006 honda civic si. But it didnt work on my wifes 2013 mazda 3....!!!🤔🤔🤔 so confused😅 Havent had the time to mess with it though Im not done messing with it yet before I go buy the $60 adapter😑
@@stickboyfpv4742 the Mazda may be Canbus rather than resistive. the adaptor should work.. but still have a try, you never know.
@@johndragonman I do appreciate your feedback guy! But yeah Its got me thinking itll work because... I just made some jumper wires with some strait pins soldered to a couple wires.... was just pluggin and playin... and while I was doing that, with the car on and in the steering wheel control menu up... there were 2 places on the connector where... when I stuck the key wire in... it would, "beep" and select whatever selection it was on, and if Id pull it out and put it back in it beeps and highlights the next one down the line...! I just work nights and its a bitch doing this sort of thing in the dark😅 thanks again Ill keep you updated!
great video. i have android 2 din car stereo. i'm trying it with pc power supply. when i connect iso cable it works. but when i connect 28 pin connector it starts to burn power source cables.
