Hi guys, Managed to get my pioneer head unit to work with my Harman kardon system on the WRX 2015 but my steering controls are not working correctly. It only triggers the next button as volume up and if I choose non adapter. I can only program 2 buttons. Is the module damaged? Or did I choose the wrong steering control harness? The one I have is the CHSU7C. Need your help please
What would I need to instead a kenwood DPX M3300BT in a 2005 Toyota Camry Altise Limited if I want to keep the steering wheel controls? And will I need to do direct wiring?
avh-a24bt pioneer. I’ve got a 2008 rav4 that had a Sony installed with steering wheel control box that worked fine. I’ve just installed a pioneer avh-a24bt and I can’t seem to get the steering wheel tab on the pioneer to be selectable, it’s greyed out. How can I get this to work. I’ve followed your steps and still can’t seem to get it to work. Thank you
Hi Adam, Pioneer stereos require the handbrake wire to be connected and the handbrake engaged before certain settings like the steering wheel control setting can be accessed.
Hey team, I got the FP9212K to connect a clarion FX450 to our outlander. According to the selector I should have everything I need in that box, but the SWC won’t work and don’t quite match the video, as there are two connectors for the final step and the swc adapter is already connected to the iso side for the unit. How do I need to adjust connect order to accomodate?
Hi, you are correct, it is only the 3.5mm jack which needs to be connected to the Clarion FX450. The key 1, key 2, and ground can be insulated and left unused. There will be 3x looped wires on the patch lead (orange, green, and purple) and of those, the purple loop will need to be cut. Once cut the module will need to be reset by unplugging it from power for 1 minute and then reconnecting. Once this has been done, check to see if your steering controls are working.
Hi, if you have purchased a APKWPL patch lead, the single wire from that will connect to the blue wire with the yellow trace from the Kenwood stereo. Be sure to disconnect the module from power for one minute to allow it to reset once this connection is made.
Got an I bought the kit for my Mazda 2 2012, and the adapter was going coo-coo occasionally (then the steering wheel controls did random operations) until it stopped working completely. So frustrating.
I have an ATOTO head unit connected to the patch lead connected to the swc harness and remote wire to the swc harness from head unit and it isnt powering on at all. I am at a loss as to what im doing wrong :( i already returned one head unit after i thought there eas something wrong. Car is a 2016 JK wrangler with alpine amp system.
Hi Kurt, there may be other reasons that the unit is not powering up correctly. It would be best to get in touch with your local car audio specialist for assistance. You can also contact our customer service team on 03 8587 8888 who can run through some fault finding techniques if you like.
@aerpro. Hi, I bought a full aerpro plug and play package and Alpine ILX650e system through Automotive Superstore and have also previously installed the exact same system in another car. I am installing on a Mitsubishi Lancer CJ 2010. I have undone and retried a number of times following this video. The only thing I cannot seem to get out is the power plug from the back of the headunit. However I gather because it is disconnected from the car and any power that it is the same as unplugging as per the video and waiting before reattaching the plugs in the correct order. Nothing is working on the steering wheel. Can you please help? I have spent ages on it. thanks heaps
Hi, have you been incontact with Automotive Superstore as yet for tech support? Their team will be happy to assist with fault finiding or installation if needed.
I just purchased a new aftermarket head unit Sony (xav-ax3000) for my 2011 Mazda CX7 together with the harnesses CHMZ7C and APP9SP5. I followed the installation process as said in the video. Everything is functioning well (CarPlay, tuner, usb , rear camera, settings, steering wheel control) only there is no sound coming from all the speakers. Repeated the whole process still no sound. I'm guessing mine is a Bose amplified. How do I know if it is Bose or non Bose amplified? Help please!!!
Hi Enrico, There is a loose blue wire with a bullet connector on the end which is part of the CHMZ7C harness. This blue wire needs to be connected to the blue wire of the stereo harness which will trigger the factory amplifier to switch on.
Hi legend, need your help I have same problem with other people. 2004 focus, Sony XAV-AX1000 steering control not working, the module is really hot, and idk if the black box is broken

Thanks for the video. I have the APP9 and CHTO15C for my 2014 Camry. Can you please explain a bit how to retain the factory reverse camera? Both the primary and secondary harness have the purple(reverse) wires so do I connect them? What else do I need to do?
@@aerpro Hi, I tried to connect all the patch leads and they all fit but the head unit could not have the factory reverse camera signal. Any reason for it? The head unit can detect the reverse gear signal tho. The head unit is Sony XAV-AX5500. Thanks.
@@aerpro I also placed the green (park brake) wire to a metel bolt in order to ground it while I was trying the reverse camera but the camera still did not either.

Hi Peter, unfortunately we do not currently have any interfaces to suit your BMW motorcycle. For assistance in custom wiring a solution it would be best to speak with your local car audio specialist for advice as they will be able to test and assess the existing wiring.

Thank you for the response
Hi Timothy, no the APP030 primary harness will not be needed as the CHGM7C steering wheel control harness will act as the primary harness in your case.
I purchaced a sony xav-ax1000 for my 2012 toyota hilux. Got all the relevant harnesses step 1 and 2 with patch lead and everything works great but i lost sound in my rear speakers. What could be the cause of that ?
Front speakers work, steering controls work, Reverse camera works, The light green park break wire should that be earthed ? Would the issue have sonething to do with the blue wire ?
Hi Sam, the only reason you may lose audio in you rear speakers is because you may have missed one of the connectors which connects to the vehicle harness. Also be sure your Hilux has rear speakers fitted as not all models came with speakers fitted in the rear doors.

Hi Tara, to access the steering control menus on most headunits, the handbrake wire needs to be connected during installation and the stereo needs to be in standby for the function to be accessible in the menu.

Hi Fili, is your Honda Stepwagon an Australian delivered vehicle? I don't believe we have a listing for it, but if you could provide us with an image of the factory stereo connector we may be able to match something up for you.
Hi Aerpro Team, I bought a SuperCheapr Auto (Australia) a Sony XAVAX3200 with a Secondary Harnesses + Patch Lead (APP9SP5 ) + Steering wheel control harness (CHNIUNI) for my 2012 Nissan X Trail (T31 model) ). All is working except the steering wheel control! I tried the 4 settings configurations written on the page 4 of 4 of the manual, and every time I unplugged all and wait at least 2mn before starting a new configurationI. I called twice Aerpro Australia for having some advices. He gave me 3 other setting (all off and number 7 on then off/off/off/on/off/on/off + 8 off or on, then off/on/on/on/off/off/off and 8 off) but it still doesn't work!! he doesn't have other advice to give me... could you please help? Thanks in advance
Hi Benjamin, if the tech team was unable to assist over the phone it may be something else to do with either the headunit or the wiring / connections. Best advice would be to visit your local car audio specialist who will be able to diagnose it further for you in person.
@@aerpro Thanks for your easy and poor answer. I exactly followed the manual instruction and also the video methods... On my side, I suspect a defect an Aerpro equipment so I will not recommend Aepro equipment to anyone. Due to your lack of support, can I send the bill of the car audio specialist to aerpro?
Could you please confirm me at least the setting configuration which have to use for my Nissan Xtrail 2012 (T31 model)? The model of my previous autoradio is PP-3091T and serial number 0033382
@@benjaminmelin9441 You are correct to remove all plugs and modules in between dipswitch changes, 30 seconds wait time is ample. It is important not to have the parts plugged in as the internal chip will not recognise the changes if it's plugged in. Also, stick to the dipswitch settings in the manual only. aerpro.com/sites/default/files/manuals/chniuni_instructions_1.pdf If you are getting results from the buttons, but they incorrect, you can try swapping the blue and green bullet terminals on the main harness. This swaps the two Key wires for the controls, Nissan did alternate these wires depending on the system. If you are not receiving any results at all from the button presses, this could also indicate the presence of an auxiliary bluetooth module. In these models, they are commonly located in the rear quarter behind the plastic trim. You will be able to access this from the rear of the vehicle. In the packet for the CHNIUNI you should have the bluetooth bypass plug. Not using this will inhibit the steering wheel controls, as when the factory radio is removed, the bluetooth module will de-power and not allow the control wires to flow back to the radio, this bypass plug allows this connection to remain complete. During all this, as all aftermarket radios can differ, ensure you are utilising the radios internal options for enabling steering wheel controls. You may find yourself in a situation where the harness is setup correctly, but the radio is not listening to them.
@@aerpro Hi, so I installed the bluetooth by pass (I wanted to do it when the steering wheel was working but ok , I did it now)... I tried again the 4 setting of the manual (I did it twice and unplugged every time all the wires and wait 2mn before a new setting), but it is still not working again and I lost 2h again! I checked also the setting of my Sony autoradio and the steering wheel is "on" or available... I connect also my old nissan autoradio, for checking the steering wheel, and it is still working... so do you have other option or tips to propose? except asking to Supercheap Auto a new Aerpro Steering wheel control harness... I suppose something is wrong with the one I got... looking forward to hear from you, thks
Hi Trevor, One end of the patch lead will connect to the steering wheel control module while the other end will depend on the make and model of the stereo you are installing.

Or my HU does not need these harness.

Thanks in advance
I got a Honda stepwagon and can’t find its harness for a pioneer head unit please help!!
Hi Fili, is your Honda Stepwagon an Australian delivered vehicle? I don't believe we have a listing for it, but if you could provide us with an image of the factory stereo connector we may be able to match something up for you.
@@aerpro Can you contact me on a different plaform
@@fililemoa9079 you can contact our technical sales team at tech@tdj.com.au for further support.
Hi Aerpro Team, I bought a SuperCheapr Auto (Australia) a Sony XAVAX3200 with a Secondary Harnesses + Patch Lead (APP9SP5 ) + Steering wheel control harness (CHNIUNI) for my 2012 Nissan X Trail (T31 model) ). All is working except the steering wheel control! I tried the 4 settings configurations written on the page 4 of 4 of the manual, and every time I unplugged all and wait at least 2mn before starting a new configurationI. I called twice Aerpro Australia for having some advices. He gave me 3 other setting (all off and number 7 on then off/off/off/on/off/on/off + 8 off or on, then off/on/on/on/off/off/off and 8 off) but it still doesn't work!! he doesn't have other advice to give me... could you please help? Thanks in advance
Hi Benjamin, if the tech team was unable to assist over the phone it may be something else to do with either the headunit or the wiring / connections. Best advice would be to visit your local car audio specialist who will be able to diagnose it further for you in person.
@@aerpro Thanks for your easy and poor answer. I exactly followed the manual instruction and also the video methods... On my side, I suspect a defect an Aerpro equipment so I will not recommend Aepro equipment to anyone. Due to your lack of support, can I send the bill of the car audio specialist to aerpro?
Could you please confirm me at least the setting configuration which have to use for my Nissan Xtrail 2012 (T31 model)? The model of my previous autoradio is PP-3091T and serial number 0033382

You are correct to remove all plugs and modules in between dipswitch changes, 30 seconds wait time is ample. It is important not to have the parts plugged in as the internal chip will not recognise the changes if it's plugged in. Also, stick to the dipswitch settings in the manual only.

If you are getting results from the buttons, but they incorrect, you can try swapping the blue and green bullet terminals on the main harness. This swaps the two Key wires for the controls, Nissan did alternate these wires depending on the system.
If you are not receiving any results at all from the button presses, this could also indicate the presence of an auxiliary bluetooth module. In these models, they are commonly located in the rear quarter behind the plastic trim. You will be able to access this from the rear of the vehicle.
In the packet for the CHNIUNI you should have the bluetooth bypass plug. Not using this will inhibit the steering wheel controls, as when the factory radio is removed, the bluetooth module will de-power and not allow the control wires to flow back to the radio, this bypass plug allows this connection to remain complete.
During all this, as all aftermarket radios can differ, ensure you are utilising the radios internal options for enabling steering wheel controls. You may find yourself in a situation where the harness is setup correctly, but the radio is not listening to them.
@@aerpro Hi, so I installed the bluetooth by pass (I wanted to do it when the steering wheel was working but ok , I did it now)... I tried again the 4 setting of the manual (I did it twice and unplugged every time all the wires and wait 2mn before a new setting), but it is still not working again and I lost 2h again! I checked also the setting of my Sony autoradio and the steering wheel is "on" or available... I connect also my old nissan autoradio, for checking the steering wheel, and it is still working... so do you have other option or tips to propose? except asking to Supercheap Auto a new Aerpro Steering wheel control harness... I suppose something is wrong with the one I got... looking forward to hear from you, thks
Do you have distributorship in india
Were can I pay the stuff from
Where does the patch lead plugged into
Hi Trevor,
One end of the patch lead will connect to the steering wheel control module while the other end will depend on the make and model of the stereo you are installing.
Ok so I have one of these for a 2002 vy holden im putting in a Kenwood head unit what I wanted to know is what do I hook the key one wire too ? Does it connect to the remote sw from the head unit or to a acc 12volt thanks only part im stuck on

I have tried all of the above steps and still can’t get the steering wheel control to be selected. It stays gray.
You didnt even tell us were the patch lead goes on the headunit lol
Followed exactly and still doesn’t work
Hi Ian, what make and model of stereo are you installing? Some stereos require the steering control function to be switched on in the settings of the unit.
@@aerpro it’s a pioneer DMH-Z5350BT
@@toofa68 that model of Pioneer will require the steering wheel control function to be switched on in the settings menu of the stereo. The following video may help you with the process. th-cam.com/video/M8rOpgse8vI/w-d-xo.html
@@aerpro thanks guys. I will try this tonight
@@aerpro still not working the steering wheel control is blank/I highlighted. Followed both videos to the letter.
