| Post subject: | Tried Adding SWC, hit a snag |
So I have a 2011 Liberty Sport with the later model Steering Wheel. It's one of the more base-lines, but I've wanted some SWC (Steering Wheel Controls) for when I take longer drives. So I found a matching Wheel from a Patriot and pulled the trigger. Yesterday I did the installation, and everything seemed to go smoothly. Front facing buttons were all working as normal, and now I have a new (to me) leather wrapped wheel rather than the plastic shell. Except... the Radio buttons don't work. For context, I have an aftermarket radio from BOSS. Already confirmed the harness adaptor lacks the SWC hookup to the radio. But just to make the buttons did work, I unplugged the harness and plugged in the factory radio. The controls still wouldn't work, even with the factory radio. What am I missing here? I was hoping this would be plug and play, and everything else seems to be working? Could the stock factory radio not support SWC? Or is there a connector I'm missing? I tried finding wiring diagrams, but everything i find seems to imply the controls just go through the CAN-BUS. Any help appreciated folks. Please and thank you. |

If I remember from when I did the same thing, you need a dealer tool or equivalent to turn the feature on. Not sure if the app parscan is still a thing but it should be able to do it. |
