Hi was wondering if someone could help with my SWC, or if maybe SVXdc may know,
I have installed a Kenwood DDX9016DABS their newest Carplay units into my JDM 2006 Legacy. I am trying to get the SWC working however haven't had much luck.
Apparently the new Kenwoods have a direct interface into the OEM SWC so no need to buy an adapater. Instructions are here, this shows the pinouts for most JDM vehicles according to Kenwood.
My vehicle has a 8Pin connector which I assume is the SWC, as it was plugged into the factory Kenwood GX-204JE, and after I used it on the Caska CA3606, where the SWC worked fine.
I tried wiring up the Kenwood supplied steering remote cable, to the 2 Pins on my SWC 8pin plug, as shown on the above site/page. The Green, Purple, Gray are the wires on the supplied steering remote cable.
Then powered on the Kenwood, and go into settings the "Steering Remote Controller" option is greyed out, I am assuming it hasn't detected my SWC and the wiring is incorrect.
Here is the 8PIN plug and 14PIN radio harness in my Legacy.
