Hello, how can I configure my Steering Wheel Control. The App doesnt recognize any button.
I believe the SWC Line is connected to the Can Bus, Key 1 and 2 is empty at my HU.
The Buttons on Steeringwheel works, like prev next vol up down. I also tried to change the mapping in factory settings with the Front Button mapping settings, doestn work also.
It is a Opel Insignia 2014

Hi,
I have a MTCE / PX5 with a raise , ford focus 2012 canbus decoder. Steering controls work (vol up/dw next/prev/play/pause ONLY) BUT how come I can't see anything in wheelkey study app? I would like to rebind some of my steering controls but the app don't see anything.
I have so many controls on my steering wheel I would like to bind but I can't!
Please someone have an idea what's wrong?
Thanks!
Laurent
I’ve wondered the same, I believe you need to use the mtcde app to make changes to already default binded buttons but not worked out how to unbind one first.

My understanding (although haven't tested it yet) is that you need to connect the cables Key-1 and Key-2 directly to your steering wheel if you want to use the default learning function. This is assuming Ford Focus uses resistive bridges for steering wheel keys (Mazda does). You'll have to get & check a Wiring Diagram specific to your car to find the right cables. Also, Key 2 is NOT ground, you have 2 cables because sometimes the steering wheel controls go to different devices (in Mazda 3, the Vol +/-, Next and Mode go to the stereo, while the Push-to-talk, Hang-up / Hang-down go to the Bluetooth controller)
Hope this helps
Having said this, maybe you're better of by testing first XPosed, an app that allows you to change the functions of the keys. But you'll have to root your device. Malaysk has a SW release for PX5 already rooted and with XPOSED pre-installed. But most probably XPOSED will only let you change the functions of the keys that are already working, not to solve the issues with the ones that are not

I have the same problem on a Ford Kuga. Did you find a solution ?
Maybe the canbus configuration in the "settings" menu (the password protected menu) ?

The wheelkey study app is for non-canbus only.
The steering wheel keys are controlled by the canbus decoder for some vehicles. So that you can not program them.

Good response, but I think this thread went to crickets weeks ago.

Helpful -- thank you. Same issue here with a 2014 VW Beetle and an Eonon GA9153A (MTCE_HT_V2.84_1). At least now I understand why the wheelkey app doesn't recognize any steering wheel buttons. Bad software design -- the app should really show a message explaining this better
Greetings All,
I have just fitted an Xtrons universal DD running 8.0 into a 07 MX-5 (NC). All is well except the steering wheel buttons do nothing. I am using a Connect2 adaptor for the car specifically. When running wheel study, I press Vol down and then Vol down on the wheel and get nothing. I called Connect 2 who suggested mashing the wheel buttons. Still nothing. Anyone be in this position before? Thank you
My car is a 2017 WRX STI with Harman kardon system. I know the dasaita is not designed to work with it but I've put my own amp, wired new speakers and made it work. I was having issue with turning on my amp and backup camera when I put my car in reverse. However I was able to map all my steering wheel buttons correctly. Then after that, I was able to figure out how to turn on my amp by moving one of the wiring pins in the harness and connect directly to my remote turn on lead to the amp. Also I was able to provide power to the backup cam when I put my car in reverse and now it works. My issue now is that my directional buttons on the steering wheel doesn't work anymore. Other buttons work like the mute button. Anyone have a wiring harness diagram for the steering wheel buttons from dasaita? I had an Android head unit before and that one I had no issue with it recognizing the steering wheel button commands.
With "directional buttons" you mean up/down (prev/next) right?
So, the Android units do not have too many choices. You either use the CanBus provided by Dasaita (or several 3rd party) for your vehicle "family" (usually same CanBus shared among different car models and brands) and you live with whatever is supported (usually only Vol +/-, Mute, Prev/Next), or you connect your steering wheel buttons to the "Key-1" and "Key-2" cables on the unit and you configure/program the unit to execute an action when buttons are pressed.
For using Key-1 and Key-2 cables:
1) You need to verify that your steering wheel buttons are restive (pressing a button changes the resistance seen by the unit)
2) You need the diagram of your steering wheel as different sections are connected to different units on the car and so use different cables. As an example, on my Mazda:
- Perv/Next, Vol +/-, Mute are one resistance bridge that goes to the stereo (one cable, as the "-" is always chassis)
- Talk, Pick-up, Hang-down is another cable that goes to the Bluetooth unit (again one cable, and the bluetooth unit then connects to the Aux of the stereo)
- Up/Down/Left/Right and Enter (the other side of the steering wheel) goes to the Computer Display (have not played with this one, no idea if it is one cable or more)
In my case I left the Vol/Mute/Prev-Next alone as it was working via the CanBus, but I cut the cable going from the steering wheel to the Bluetooth Unit and connected it to Key2 in a PX5 MTC-D Dasaita unit and configured those keys to handle phone calls + Google Assistant. I guess I still have Key-1 if one day I want to completely kill the factory "computer display" that any way only shows basic statistics.
Hope this helps. I can share the Mazda Steering Wheel circuit so you can see what you should be looking for (most probably Subaru will use other color code for the cabling)
Key 1 Key 2
I bought some external buttons that I want to connect Android car stereo dasaita can you indicate the cables key 1 key 2 where to connect?
Since I don't have steering wheel buttons in my car and non of these units have buttons, or if they do have buttons it has smaller screen then a phone, I wonder if someone did come up with solution for the next track action to work by ie. double tapping home button?
I wonder if there are any bluetooth controllers that could be attached to the steering wheel or the dash. Then you program the unit what to do when they are clicked.
Google seems to find some.
Well from the search here it seems on of the BT controlers work with the MTC units
Dear community,
I'm kind of lost since I get no support from Erisin about this (no response)
I have a BMW E46 from 2002 and the Erisin head unit.
MCU version is stock px5 MTCE (px5-userdebug 8.0.0. OPR5.170623.007 eng.hct.20180417.101726 test-keys)
I liked the idea of controlling the head unit volume by steering wheel.
Therefore I wired and installed the steering wheel buttons to my car.
The ACC works fine and in general I can control the head unit by the buttons.
Change Volume, Skip a song and so on...
Buuuut very often the head unit goes crazy or the control gets lost over the steering wheel buttons. (I am not able to drive over 30 minutes without having this error)
It seems like the head unit receives some ghost commands and volume goes up to max or I have random song skips. Sometimes it simply doesn't react on buttons.
Of couse this is not usable at all, therefore I disconnected the whole buttons.
For example you see a ghost volume up at 0:27

Or here there is no reaction on volume up (please excuse my loud breathing)

Key study menu doesn't work at all:

Here is magic volume up (you will also see a handsome gangster guy)
https://youtu.be/ZPDQMeU4CNU
I have no clue how to debug or what I can do.
Any hints from the experts?

You should go Settings/Steering wheel keys to program the SWC, but not go to panel keys study.
I think the key menu doesnt matter. Actually the Buttons work as expected. But it gets out of control very often (random skips, volume up and so on). I also saw a key menu where I See the logs of key press. The head unit seem to actually receive the ghost key strokes repeatedly.
Have you tried entering at the factory menu and changing the car model at canbus menu?
You have a full menu for the keys where to change configurations.

Had same problems - like not working buttons, i press up but it volumes up... After latest MCU update seems to be fixed. But also what i did in Steering wheel learning menu dublicated inputs for same buttons. i have on mine and it works without fall since.
