How to Retain Steering Wheel Controls with ASWC-1 on 6thgen Maxima

Member Credit: Lenin Vera

This is the installation of the Axxess ASWC-1 aftermarket steering wheel controls on my Pioneer Headunit in my 2004 Nissan Maxima. I did this write up to document my installation and hopefully help some my6thGen.org forum members clarify the installation process.

The ASWC-1 adapter from Axxess allows you to connect your vehicle’s steering wheel controls to almost any brand of aftermarket stereo, including Alpine, Clarion, JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, and more. (Note: your new stereo must have a 3.5mm steering wheel control or wired remote control input.)

Manufacturer PDF Instructions

Additional Written Instructions & Photos:

  1. First you will need to find the 16-pin harness plug behind your radio console. Reference photo below.
  2. Connect the Black wire of the ASWC to ground. You may use the same grounding
    point as the aftermarket radio.
  3. Connect the Red wire of the ASWC to a 12 volt accessory wire, one that turns on and
    off with the ignition key.
  4. Connect the Gray/Red wire of the ASWC to pin 3 of the vehicle.
  5. Connect the White/Green wire of the ASWC to pin 10 of the vehicle.
  6. Connect pin 2 of the vehicle harness to Ground.
  7. All other wires on the ASWC please tape up, they will not be used.

6thgen Maxima with Four Point Harness Seat Install

Member Credit: DeusExMaxima

Since my car is built for performance and i do some autocrossing, I decided to install some four point harnesses. My local speed shop, CNC Motorsports, had some nice red Sparco 2 inch “street” type harnesses in stock.

The lap belts were a straightforward install – left belt to left OEM belt position, and right lap belt bolted to seat rail bolt. After much discussion, I decided to bolt the rear belts to the hidden child seat restraining loops sandwiched between the upper and lower sections of the rear seats.

I got the sturdiest carabiner I could find, that wasn’t too huge. Then it simply clips to the rear child seat loops like so:

The rears detach very quickly by unclipping the carabiners. When you drive with harnesses on, its much easier to do spirited driving without sliding all over the place. I love the secure feeling.

How to Swap 7thgen Maxima Projectors to Clear Lens

Member Credit: acdn

I just picked up a 2012 Maxima with OEM HIDs and I love it! I got a spare headlight to test clear lenses on before I take my car apart. I was looking at the projector and it looks identical to the RX330 non-AFS. Let me know if you have any questions. I got the product from The Retrofit Source.
