Sorry for the delay. Been out of town.

Looks like UltraNutz has solved ur problem.

Also, the way I determined I had a bad steering harness was only after talking with Scosche tech support.

Default Proper Orange/white grounding

Having a similar problem, and wondering if I've grounded the orange/white in the wrong spot. I followed the harness coming from the left controls, and snipped the wire before it goes into the connector. I tied off the end going to the handlebar, and grounded the end leading into the connector. I realize (now) that maybe I should have grounded after the connector, but can't see how that could make a difference. When I program the SWI-PC, both hand controls do the same functions. Any help is appreciated.

Did you error when you wrote "orange/white"??? The wire that is to be cut is pink/white. Also, it sounds like you are grounding the wrong wire after clipping it.

Clip the pink/white wire between the connector and where the wires begin getting wrapped in a bundle going towards the handlebars. You now have two ends of the pink/white wire.

Tape off the end of the pink/white wire that exits the connector. Attach another wire to the pink/white wire that extends from the bundle of wrapped wires and ground that wire. I had to peel back some of the wrapping to get enough pink/white wire to work with. Once I twisted and connected the new wire to the pink/white wire, I put new electrical tape around that entire bundle for protection. I used a mechanical twist cap to hold the new wire and pink/white wire secure. There is too much going on there to be able to solder the connection.

I hope this helps.

Jim

Default Pink/white

I erred in several places. It IS the pink/white wire. I cut it "below" the connector and grounded the end headed towards the left handlebar. Some of schematics say to cut it "above" the connector before it joins a loom headed towards the right handlebar. When I program it, the left controls function as volume up/down and source. The right controls end up doing the same, volume up/down etc. even though I programmed the right side to scan up/down.

I just ordered this same thing. Maybe I am an idiot but I seem to have the same problem and it appears my gray and black connectors are on the opposite sides from what is described in the schematics. I have tried several ( 8 to be exact) ways of cutting/grounding the pink/white wire. I have spoken with crutchfield who recommended cutting a purple wire and grounding it with a 330 ohm resistor because my left handlebar has PTT as the center position. The issue I am having is it appears that the SWI interface never sees the button being pressed no matter which side its on of the handlebars. Any ideas?

I have cut the pink/white wire coming from the left handle bar and grounded the wire coming from the controls to the grounding point on the triple tree. I also tried clipping the purple wire that crutchfield described and still have no luck getting the interface to recognize the buttons being pressed.

Sorry for replying on the someone else's thread but seems like quite a few of us are having the same issues.

I am assuming everyone has the dial on the interface set to the right number depending on what radio they have. Second, I am assuming everyone has programmed the interface according to instructions where you first turn on the ignition and depress the button on the interface, etc.....before you begin to program the handlebar controls. As far as support, while Crutchfield reps are good on most of their products, I went straight to PAC to obtain support on their interface.

Programming dial set to 7 for Sony head unit, vehicle version set as 3 for HD.
I'll be calling Scosche tech support as soon as they open in California.

I used the aswc-1 but it should be close to the pac swi. Instead of grounding the pink white wire to the trees, ground it to the common ground on the scosche hd 7000b harness.

Default Swi

Scosche tech support more or less determined that the unit is working correctly, but the harness they supplied may be faulty. They're shipping me a new harness.....
