richardapp Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hello all, I upgraded from an AppRadio 1 to an AppRadio 3. I have an aftermarket steering wheel controller that worked flawlessly with the old AppRadio (the Axxess RFASWC). It still works with the AppRadio 3 but I can't figure out how the heck I remap the buttons. Basically, I need the instructions below for the AppRadio 3: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/AppRadio/How+do+I+set+the+steering+wheel+controls+on+AppRadio Anybody knows how to go about this?

VBLUE42 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 There are no control settings on the unit. All control mapping is done with the steering wheel control adapter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agro Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I cannot get my ASWC-1 to properly work with my AppRadio3 yet. I've swapped ASWC-1 to a new one and same problem. Hangup/Pickup of phone always works. Mode pulls up the phone menu. Track/seek up/down only works on the Radio, not BT or Pandora, etc. And volume never works. I called Pioneer, confirmed no control in AR3 to customize. They said check with Metra that they can say with absolute certainty that the ASWC-1 has been tested with the AR3. Perhaps it hasn't. Said perhaps switch to PAC? I will check more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Puckolio Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Do your steering wheel controls work in Bluetooth and AppRadio modes? I have volume control working in all modes, but next track and previous track don't seem to work. I'm using a PAC GM31 module... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Puckolio Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Got it all working with the GM31 module, turns out the 3.5mm plug going into the radio was not completely plugged in all the way. Once I got it securely plugged in the steering wheel controls worked in all modes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JazJon Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I don't have steering wheel controls on my SmartCar Brabus unfortunately. Having a Knob to control volume was a big deal for me before I got interested in AppRadio 3. This leads me to a related volume control question. (didn't want to start a whole new thread) How "easy" is it to control the volume on the AppRadio? Do the Volume Up/Down buttons have a good action/feel to them when pressed? (or cheap/mushy?) Are you satisfied with how they did it? I might miss having an easy control knob I can reach, feel, grab, control blind. Is everyone satisfied with the volume up/down buttons on this thing? So yeah having Steering wheel controls is ideal, but what about for everyone else? EDIT: Now that I own the AR3 I wanted to say the volume control is outstanding, I don't miss the Knob.

VBLUE42 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Getting the PAC WRI-P and the Pioneer CD-SR1 Steering Wheel Remote will solve your problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KDW0210 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Getting the PAC WRI-P and the Pioneer CD-SR1 Steering Wheel Remote will solve your problem. Will this combo work on a car with the appradio 2 and/or appradio 3 and if so how? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 It doesn't matter what vehicle you have. Check the PAC web site for details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stargate125645 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I hate reviving dead threads, but no one on XDA can answer apparently, so I'll ask here. Does anyone know whether the steering wheel voice activation button and/or hang up and answer buttons now work with the AppRadio 3? They did not with the 2, and Pioneer support is too incompetent to give a straight answer. Neither PAC or Metra have answers on their sites, either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalika Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 The answer and hang up buttons work at least for me and the voice activation button opens my phone book I was not able to get it to activate siri. Also the mode button works to change between all the modes the stereo offers. From what I was told when they helped me program mine I can make the buttons do what ever I wanted provided the stereo supported what I wanted the button to do so if the stereo does not support your button make it do something else. I have a 2013 Subaru XV with a Pac module and AR3, there is a list in the pac manual somewhere that says what is supported by each aftermarket stereo manufacture.

stargate125645 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you for the information - I'll bet it is similar for Android, which is what I use. I know you can get Google Now to pop up when your phone is on desktop so it may then be possible to tie that to the steering wheel button. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
