Android Double Din Steering Controls
Hi guys just installed a nice little Android 9 double din unit but can't get the steering controls connected - has anyone done it? I've got Key 1 and a Key 2 out the back of the unit, I originally connected them to the 2 Rover steering control wires (blue/orange & blue purple) with no luck and another member mentioned connecting blue/orange to earth but still no luck. It's a real shame as it's a great little unit which has the capacity it's just my brain which doesn't...! Can anyone assist?

There's a thought - there's a couple of apps on the Playstore I might be able to use... It's definitely wired in correctly

You will likely have to use the onboard app to program the SWC. Have you tried using the keys with the setup app running as they will do nothing until they are programmed.

Yeah after my last post I went and had a look and found the onboard app but it's not registering any button pushes. Is there a way to test the steering hardware - if I measure the resistance across the wires should it change when I press the steering buttons?

I believe Jeff (Coolcat) did just that when he got mine sorted recently and you can see the change in resistance.

Hi,
You don't use key 1 and 2. Just Key 1 and then a ground wire connected to the two colours that Simon mentioned. There is usually a black loose wire on the head unit loom marked GND. Try using that instead of just grounding to earth and then try programming the head unit again. As Pete said, you can indeed use a multimeter on the cars steering wheel wires to check they are functioning but it is likely they are ok.
