Anyone having problems with their steering wheels controls randomly not working? Sometimes I'll start my car and they will work, other times I'll start the car and they won't. I'm trying to figure out if its a problem with my Axxess ASWC or the AppRadio. Any suggestions?

I have the very rare, occasional skipped command, but nothing as full scale as that.

I have the same problem, also using Axxess ASWC..even stops working while I'm driving. I end up having to reprogram them at a red light.

I've had the same problem. But mysteriously it's been working fine for at least a month. Thought for sure it was the AXcess but now not so much. There is another update out for it, so I might try to flash the unit this week and see if Metra updated their IR commands, to match Pioneer's more closely.

Mine never stops working while driving. It either works or doesn't work when I turn the car on. I don't remember how the power is wired but the only thing I can think of is maybe its a race condition to which device boots up first.

I have an Axxess too, but I haven't gotten mine working just yet, so I couldn't comment (I just got it installed and I'm in the middle of troubleshooting on my Scion, lol!)
