But so it does work, I just have to fiddle with it, yes? Would recommend getting that one or just going the normal route with the Drok converter and wiring that in myself? |

Option 2 Go another route of any kind. To give you a bottom line answer, I say go with option 1. I used it and I have everything working and I didn't strip a single wire that was already in the car. |

However I have two last questions... 1) SWC: I see that I can tap into pin 21-23 of the 28 pin connector for the appropriate wires... BUT where do those wires connect to on the HU? I am using a Pioneer AVIC-5200NEX. Because of this I got a different wire harness which included the 10 & 6 pin connectors and then I bought the 28 pin connector separately. Any idea what wires I need to pull from the HU to tap into 21-23? I did buy these but don't know if these are the only things I need: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00B4PJC...=bit_pcomp_ask *UPDATE* I figured out the steering wheel controls. I basically needed to use the ASWC-1 by Metra/Axxess and in theory that should be hooked up. All I'm left with is the microphone. 2) OEM Microphone. Any idea on this? I would love to retain the OEM microphone but have had no success researching this. *UPDATE* I did some more reading... looks like I'm going to have to splice the microphone cables {Pin 4: Mic Power 5V, Pin 5: Mic Signal, Pin 6: Mic Detect) But... I don't know how to satisfy all these wires with just my 3.5mm jack input on my HU Last edited by kothetimeless; 06-27-2017 at 12:57 AM. |

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=923715 Also you can use the pinout here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...1&postcount=22 I've given up on trying to retain the OEM mic. I've tried a few different mic positions, so you might wanna try these if the above doesn't work out: 1) The position in my guide with the mic sticking out of the head unit. A little stealthy, almost behind the steering wheel, but still noticeable. Works good, but I don't like how it's just dangling there. 2) I tried running an aftermarket mic from the HU, up the A pillar on the passenger side, behind the rear view mirror, under the roof headliner, and then into where the OEM mic is located. It's actually pretty simple and the wire is hidden. It's very simple to remove the OEM mic (just press on the two notches) and place the aftermarket mic into the original mic's position. Unfortunately, that OEM position isn't very good and it seems to pick up a lot of noise. Looks great, just like OEM, but not very useful. 3) Put the mic behind the steering wheel. There's a little area behind the steering wheel where there's a piece of plastic and the leather meet. I used the mic clip and clipped it onto the plastic piece, so the mic is right behind the steering wheel. It's very stealthy and the driver will be the only one who will notice the mic behind the wheel. This actually works pretty well, as the instrument cluster and the wheel blocks all noise, like a/c or wind. |

Go http://www.autoharnesshouse.com
And buy the dam harness from them instead of writing a dam book.i I've got everything working and just ordered a harness to attach my 2017 BRZ CAMERA To my Kenwood DNS893S. The rest of my cables came from Crutchfield. They also have the black spacers for each side of aftermarket headunits To fill the space using a rectangular cover. I have a 2017 Toyota86 single piece dash unit cover Out on an "86" 2017 Special Edition for sale. Last edited by 007BRZ; 06-28-2017 at 11:45 PM. Reason: Added info |

I have the reverse cam, bluetooth and GPS working. I am trying to get the SWC and Mic working and thats it. I read some stuff about the 5 mic pins in the 28connector: Pin 4: Mic power (5v) - (I am going to buy a DROK 12 to 5v converter and do similar things as you instructed with the reverse cam... also I noticed I can maybe tap one of my HU's USB ports for 5V? Thoughts?) Pin 5: (Mic +) - Positive wire of spliced 2.5mm mono that goes into HU Pin 6: Mic Detect - I sent to chasis ground Pin 18: Mic Shield Ground - I sent to chasis ground Pin 19: (Mic -) - Negative wire of spliced 2.5mm mono that goes into HU |

SUCCESS
So the back of a pioneer has 2 USB with power slots. I cut up a USB wire, deaded the data +/- wires, spliced the power+ (5v) wire to the pin 4 mic amp power, and sent the USB power- to chasis ground.
Worked like a charm!! If your head unit does not have USB slots in the back, I'm sure you can use a similar method to the reverse cam (12v to 5v converter, tap ignition 12v wire) for the same effect. So here is the FINAL pin arrangement that I can confirm works: Pin 4: Mic power (5v) - Tap one of my HU's USB ports for 5V OR if you don't have a spare USB slot... Buy a DROK 12 to 5v converter and do similar things as you instructed with the reverse cam Pin 5: (Mic +) - Positive wire of spliced 2.5mm mono that goes into HU Pin 6: Mic Detect - I sent to chasis ground Pin 18: Mic Shield Ground - I sent to chasis ground Pin 19: (Mic -) - Negative wire of spliced 2.5mm mono that goes into HU @Akuma147 @Joon525 @vintagemxer @007BRZ Quote:

Now to the last thing... SWC ugh
Onto the next issue. I realized that the ASWC-1 SORT OF works for the BRZ... axxessinterfaces.com still does not have the 2017 BRZ programmed I believe yet. Eventually they will? I will call their customer service tomorrow.
But a note to Pioneer users. You do NOT connect the ASWC-1's 3.5mm jack to your AUX in as some directions say... you must connect it to the 3.5mm jack titled "W/R" behind your unit. However upon doing so, I successfully can control ....some thing. This is my mapping that I cannot customize and as is: Button: Effect Volume up : Next track/preset + Volume down: Next track/preset + Seek/preset up (right): next track/preset + Seek/preset down (left): Previous track/preset - Enter (center): Nothing Source: Source On hook: Nothing Off hook: Nothing PTT: Source Back: Nothing Right side omnidirectional works still with the onboard dash computer in the gauges cruise control still works correctly |

the ASWC-1 worked for the volume, source, seek/preset buttons and the center "enter" button became the "ATT" button. However I did lose the on/off hook and PTT button functionality. Maybe I can custom program them but we'll see. Here is the ASWC-1 configuration as given to me from an Axxess customer service rep... Jerry. He's the man.
Hello when installing the ASWC-1 into your BRZ you will want to wire it as follows, Gray/red wire of ASWC-1 to pin# 22 of the vehicle Gray/blue of the ASWC-1 to pin# 21 of the vehicle Black/green of the ASWC-1 will go to chassis ground Pin#23 of the vehicle to chassis ground. You will want to reset the ASWC-1 by holding the reset button down for 3 seconds then push and hold the volume up on the steering wheel until the light starts flashing green then release. I have attached a copy to the installation instructions that will apply to your vehicle. https://metradealer.com/files/aswc/ASWC-1_INST_959.pdf After you get it all installed and working please let me know how it worked out for you. Thank you, Jerry Ferguson Technical Support Specialist Metra Electronics 1-800-253-TECH (8324) |

I have a 2016 head unit and dash installed on my 2013. I got it for free, but my door speakers obviously aren't firing. Does anyone have a solution to this? I have read this entire thread, but I'm still confused on what to do. Thanks.
