Steering wheel controlls adaptor fitting instructions

[simonfouracre]

I have recently bought the following adaptor and patch lead

I have installed my old Sony hu in the car and tried to connect the adaptor up as well but the steering wheel controls are not working. When i remove and re-insert the patch lead into the back of the hu from the adaptor it changes the source on the hu. This leads me to think that the adaptor is working just not connected/wired up correctly. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for these or even some pics of theirs instaled just to ensure i have it all wired up correctly.

Thanks,

Simon

It's possible that you have bought the wrong "radio interface". Have a look at this one,

that is the actual one i got, not the one i have linked to in the original post. Have had another look but still not working

I assume that the HU is steering wheel control compatible. From what I can remeber doing mine;
The speaker block from ALANA fits straight into the ISO for the SONY,
The power block from the ALANA plugs into the SWC adapter (black one i think) then the brown one plugs into the SONY ISO,
The patch lead then plugs into the black box from SWC adapter.
Not sure what the connection is on the back of the SONY, but for my KENWOOD there is a "bullet" connector that connects from the patch lead to the HU.

Hope this helps!

thanks for that, will double check it all tonight.!! Prety sure thats how ive got it all wired up. There's also a red part of the SWC adaptor which connects directly to the cars wiring. The patch lead for the Sony's is like a mini audio jack in the bottom left of the unit.

yep there's a red one too, can remember seeing it now. if no success ill have a look at mine later also.

thanks for the help, much appreciated. Double checked last night and everything is all connected correctly. When plugging in the patch lead and turning the hu on for the first time - the volume/menu on the hu does not work and neither does the steering wheel controls. When the patch lead is not connected into the hu everything works fine. Am thinking either the patch lead or the actual adaptor must be faulty or incorrect.
