GeoffT Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 It like remote control. First i map it to change the seek >>, they forward my am fm preset, song on you SD , CD. Then I change to anwers my phone. Now I'm thinking change it to END CALL and use AUTO ANWERS on avic. I use the control on avic to forward and back, AM/FM on my steering wheel for the source. Is there any chance you could measure the resistance across the connector to the avic (between the tip and base ring) when the swi-ps is giving the answer and end call commands? Sorry I don't know how to. I didn't use any resistance on my unit. just 3 wire i install, red for ignition, black for ground. and white go to the steering control . then do the program that all, There will be a 3.5mm connector (like a headphone connector) that goes from the swi-ps into the back of the f-series. You would need to un-plug that and put an ohm-meter across the tip and base ring of that and then press the appropriate button on the steering wheel with the ignition switched on. The remote works but putting a different resistance between the tip and base for each command. We know the resistances for all the existing commands (eg Vol + is 16700 ohm, Vol - is 23600 ohm etc), but it would be really good to know the resistance for the extra phone commands (take call, end call etc). I appreciate that it is a bit of pain if the unit is fully installed, but if it was possible for you to do it it would be really useful information for others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
landmark Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Sorry I don't have omh meter. I will try to but not promise. when i get i will post it OK. Sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeoffT Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Sorry I don't have omh meter. I will try to but not promise. when i get i will post it OK. Sorry OK, no problem. Can you confirm though that the Phone Status, Answer Call, and End Call functions all work when programmed to a button on your wheel. If so I will set up my variable resistor test remote again and try to find what resistance values make those commands work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hrosenberg33 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 just had the Connects2 steering wheel control installed in my car ('09 GTI) and it works great but the same problem as below, the Up/Down buttons only seek and do not go from one pre-set to the next. If it did that it would be perfect. If anybody would know how to change this I would be eternally grateful but it sounds like that is not going to happen. Still great to have all my other GTI controls though. HR Thank you, but I did try with another button ( CH) and it work but then i lost the change source which i need too. Maybe I have to sacrifice the source to use for answer the phone still i find the the steering control housing that have more button on it. Take a look at these picture.[attachment=0]DSCN2449.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]DSCN2448.JPG[/attachment] If this really did work, this is big news! What function did you map to the CH button, and what exactly does it do on the f-series? Does the preset up/down work also? Edit - just found this review on crutchfield so I guess the preset answer is no "Nearly perfect Written By Tomas, Franklin, MA on Thursday, April 30, 2009 Just installed this in my 2008 Subaru Impreza. Simple to wire up with just three wires (white/black/red); programming took a couple of tries since you have to finish it within a few seconds. Working great immediately afterwards; button response had little to no lag, and I was able to get vol +/-, mute, source and track +/- all working perfect. Only problem is that track +/- on my Pioneer AVIC-F90BT receiver is also seek +/- (for radio)... would have been better for me if those functions have been matched up with preset +/-. Otherwise I have no complaints... highly recommend installing this if you want to get your car's steering wheel controls working with your aftermarket head unit. " I'd still be very interested if the phone commands really are available, and if so, what resistance they use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
landmark Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 You need to set it to preset+ ( OPTION 7) and preset - ( OPTION . you maybe set it to seek >> and seek << ( which it option 4 and 5 ). so the program go like this 1. volume Up 2. volume down 3. mute / attenute 4. seek >> 5. seek << 6. source 7. preset + 8. preset - 9. band 10. phone status 11. answer phone 12. end phone you have to program in order, if you want to skip the programming press the program button on swi-ps to skip. hope this help. PS. for GEOFFt I set my CH to answer phone ( option 11) and it work. every time someone call I press CH button to pickup touch the End on avic to end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hrosenberg33 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Sorry, was this the answer for the SWI-PS or for the Connects2? Thanks HR You need to set it to preset+ ( OPTION 7) and preset - ( OPTION . you maybe set it to seek >> and seek << ( which it option 4 and 5 ). so the program go like this1. volume Up 2. volume down 3. mute / attenute 4. seek >> 5. seek << 6. source 7. preset + 8. preset - 9. band 10. phone status 11. answer phone 12. end phone you have to program in order, if you want to skip the programming press the program button on swi-ps to skip. hope this help.

landmark Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 sorry this is for swi-ps not connect2. but i think it must be same idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hrosenberg33 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hmm, I'll have to dig around to see how you would actually do this with the connect2 gear. Guess that's what happens when you get your stuff installed for you as opposed to DIY. Thanks anyways HR sorry this is for swi-ps not connect2. but i think it must be same idea.

dumpystig Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi Landmark! I had my SWI-PS installed for me. I now need to go through the programming again. Do you have something that tells me exactly what it is I need to do? Please excuse my complete ignorance, but I have no idea how to re-program this thing. Thanks! Hmm, thought I recognised the monicker, it's Catchs' buddy......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
