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.
