Has anyone had any success installing a ASWC-1 interface on a 12 RAM? Looking for some assistance as I can't get it to work.

Have you updated the firmware on the aswc? What kind of flashes are you getting when you turn the key on? For my 15 with a pioneer deck, I turned the key to accessory, the led flashed a few times then I held volume up for 5 sec or so.

You may need to reset the aswc and re pair it. Mine didn't want to pair the first time. I had to react quickly when initially setting it up. Only had a couple seconds once it was flashing quick to hold the volume button. Sorry it's not too fresh in my mind.

The Pioneers have been wonky as of lately, may need to manually map.

Do you have pink from ASWC to Pin 13 and Blue/Pink to pin 2? Pin locations should be numbered on the factory harness. No other wires should be hooked up besides power/ground (red/black). If you do, double and triple check all connections are secure and tight and that you have the right pin numbers.

Once you confirm that, use a pick tool to hold on and reset the module, it will flash rapidly, during this time press and release the volume up button continuously until it stops flashing. It should then flash green 7 times with the 7th flash being a longer steady green. Then it should flash red 6 times. From there it should not be flashing any longer, only when a button is pressed.

I have all the wiring connected. Everything seems to be correct and the only button that seems to work is the volume up but that actually changes the bands of the radio makes no sense. None of the other buttons do anything. I'm going to attempt to reground it see if that makes a difference.

Have you tried taking it a professional? I do not mean to insult you - but sometimes the ASWC can be annoying and experience can help quite a bit.

If not just switch out the ASWC and the Harness for the PAC Harness, the PAC stuff works out of the box 99% of the time. With Pioneers you will need to re-map the controls usually but the PAC is super easy to re-map.

Could also try the Maestro SW.... again this works 99% of the time and mapping is done on the computer.
