Ok - the Axxess AX-SUBUSB works very well. You plug one end into the Kizashi's connector back of the head unit, and the other into the head unit. You do not try to connect it in the little storage compartment USB port. Having done so, I now have a USB Apple Lightning charger sticking out of the hole...

Ok, idiot me. I finally was able to get the lightning cord out and pull the corded usb receptacle up using one of those plumber's claw pickup tools. I pulled the usb corded receptacle out under the space vacated by the shift lever collar. Pulled the plug for the cord out (required a mighty pull) and...

Ok, having difficulty installing the Axxess AX-SUBUSB. Loosened up the old USB connector in the dash panel, and thought I'd be smart by inserting a Lightning USB charger cord in the old connector so I could fish it out if it fell down. Well it fell down all right, but wedged itself impossibly behind...

Hi, I just bought this Axxess AX-SUBUSB piece. How does one install it? I took the USB collar off and the USB piece does not come out of the hole. Thought it would be easy to get out, plug it in and pull the old wire through. Nothing doing, at least not without insight.

Thanks, but the main credit goes to Alpine and Scosche! Well I'm a lawyer and I drove to court today - very important to get there on time about an hour away, so here's what I did. Picked up the phone and started Waze, inputted the address. Plugged the phone in and stated Carplay on the Alpine, star...

So - pulling out the plug for programming per the Metra tech adviser did help; it got the volume and next item buttons working on the steering wheel. The other buttons (mode & mute, plus the phone) do not work on the steering wheel. Does not bother me, but if anyone has a solution for these feat...

Update on the steering wheel control problem - called the Metra Electronics 1-800-253-TECH help line today. Tech almost immediately said that many Alpines will not work if the steering wheel control jack is plugged into the back of the radio when the ASWC-1 is looking for its programming. (It sees t...

Some more pics, better resolution.

Okay, here are some details. 1. This install is basic using the stock Rockford Fosgate amp and stock premium speakers. The wiring harness adapter is the Scosche SI06B, which converts the speaker-level signals to the Rockford Fosgate amp rather than implementing line level RCA jacks (for that see the...

If you can't tell from the pictures, then let me tell you that the Scosche is high quality and is just about a perfect fit for the Alpine screen.
