Hi guys,

After couple of weeks research I was lucky enough to find a simple way of making my steering wheel controls work with my aftermarket Android head unit.

There are 3 white connectors - see pic.

The one in the background is a 16 pin connector and this is where we do the following - from the cable that came with your aftermarket unit:

1. Connect GROUND to Green/Black cable
2. Connect KEY1 to Green/White cable
3. Connect KEY2 to Green or Lime cable
4. Start the car and configure steering wheel controls inside your settings.

Voila, you now have steering wheel controls. I know this works on European models (all gen1).

Enjoy!

Did this require a SWC module?

As the post title states, no modules are required. This is a direct connection. All you need to do is to map the steering wheel buttons on your Android Head unit once the physical connection is done.
