Appradio 2 w/GT500 Steering Wheel & Audio Controls in 07!

[ChrisGT]

I do not have a wiring diagram for the button cluster. If you find one let me know! I would love to find a way to make all the buttons work. I have no idea what the other 5 wires do.

This has the resistance measurements of the buttons.

Well I finally got mine installed. I did not cut any of the loops on the PAC unit and I did not install the resistor. I think there is a way to get the other buttons to work with the radio but that is going to take a little more investigation. I didn't come to a realization until this morning about it. I also was unable to get the other buttons to work as a Boost Controller switch. The buttons have a constant path to them. They aren't momentary. Each time you press one it just changes the resistance in the circuit. In my case I need a quick pulse to ground instead. Finished result!

Hell yea, nice work! It looks great.

I got every button to work audio wise.
Music - mutes
Ok - changes source
Voice- hangs up call
Phone -answers call

More details to come

Here is a little drawing of the way I wired things. Keep in mind, I did not cut any of the loops on the wiring for the SWI-RC. I just ran it to radio power, grounded it, and then ran the white wire to my pigtail coming from the wpt connector. As someone else mentioned, they ran the 100ohm resistor in line with the purple wire. I did not do that and mine worked just fine. I did wire the 100 ohm resistor in the blue wire before the blue and purple meet up and go into the white wire.

According to this diagram you should ground the yellow and green wires? When I do that the buttons activate without pushing them. If I hook it up and only ground the green wire, I cannot get the phone, ok, or sync buttons to do anything. I am using the Metra Axxess SWC so maybe it's different.

Looks great guys!
Is everyone getting their wheel from Levington Ford? i think thats where i saw it for like 170.00

I figured it out with the help of tech support. For the Axxess SWC you need to ground the yellow wire (as shown) and connect the blue wire to the gray/red wire on the axxess harness. Then manually program the buttons. Viola, I can now launch Siri straight from my steering wheel and all my buttons are functional.

for some reason my subs no longer work after I hooked up the app radio (shaker 1000) any idea what I may have missed?

 

[irishpwr46]

did you use the proper harness?

Thanks for the great write-up... I ran into a bit of a speed-bump with the same mod.

I bought a 2012 GT500 steering with the leather/ alcantara, along with an AXXESS aswc-1 Steering button controller.

When I removed the airbag of the old (2009 GT Premium) Steering to expose the connector and plug... The wires on the plug did not match the colors referred to in the write-up.

For example, I had no white-wire on the plug... It was Pink...

Am I missing something here...?

I decided to call it quits for the day and re-installed the airbag. All parts are comfortably waiting on the back-seat.

I am kind of stumped... I installed the new style wheel out of my buddies 13/14 RS3. Everything went great. Well yesterday I realized my horn doesn't work when I press down on it while driving. I pulled off the airbag this morning and the connector does not fit. Its completely different. So tomorrow I am pulling the button harness out of my 06 Premium GT steering wheel and swapping it into my new one in hopes it'll get my horn working.. I have yet to tackle the audio controls, I was limited on money so I figured let me just get the new wheel in and horn working first.

You figure out your horn not working?
