Product Overview
The Aerpro SWCH3C is a CANBUS steering wheel control interface designed for various Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models. It includes a harness fitted with a vehicle-specific plug that connects directly into the existing factory wiring in the vehicle without cutting or modifying the factory harness. The SWCH3C is supplied with both the old and new 22-way connector types to cover the range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles within the supported model range. No additional modules are required for CANBUS vehicles.
The SWCH3C is compatible with SW-type patch leads (sold separately), supports the OEM phone button and Voice Assistant button when connected to a compatible aftermarket head unit, and retains the OEM amplified system when equipped; the blue/white wire must be connected for OEM amplified system retention to function. Outputs include reverse trigger (purple/white), park brake (green), illumination (orange), and amp remote (blue). The SWCH3C does not support digital fading.
Some vehicles operate off rear speaker outputs only; the supplied ISO adaptor may be used to swap rear speakers to front if there are issues with Bluetooth call audio on the aftermarket head unit. Custom button remapping is available and requires a USB-C cable (sold separately). Installation is simplified when the SWCH3C is paired with the optional Aerpro APP8 Headunit Secondary ISO Harness (sold separately). The aftermarket head unit must be SWC compatible and steering wheel control functions may vary from OEM functions. Use the Aerpro Vehicle Selector to confirm the correct part for your specific vehicle before purchase.
Features & Benefits
Retains Factory Steering Wheel Controls with Aftermarket Head Unit: The SWCH3C allows the factory steering wheel audio controls to operate with a compatible aftermarket head unit, maintaining hands-on-the-wheel control without requiring the driver to reach for the head unit directly.
CANBUS Interface - No Additional Modules Required: The SWCH3C uses CANBUS integration for direct communication with the vehicle's CANBUS network, eliminating the need for additional interface modules in CANBUS-equipped Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles.
Supplied with Both Old and New 22-Way Connector Types: The SWCH3C is supplied with both the old and new 22-way vehicle connector plugs, providing compatibility across the range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models that use either connector configuration within the supported range.
OEM Amplified System Retention: The SWCH3C supports retention of the OEM amplified system when equipped in the vehicle. The blue/white wire must be connected for OEM amplified system retention to function. Digital fading is not supported.
Vehicle-Specific Plug - No Wire Cutting Required: The SWCH3C harness is fitted with a vehicle-specific plug engineered to connect directly into the existing factory wiring in the vehicle. No cutting or modification of the factory wiring harness is required, simplifying installation and preserving the factory wiring integrity.
OEM Phone Button and Voice Assistant Support: The SWCH3C supports the OEM phone button and Voice Assistant button on the steering wheel when connected to a compatible aftermarket head unit.
Reverse Trigger Output (Purple/White): A reverse trigger output via a purple/white wire enables automatic switching to the reverse camera input on the aftermarket head unit when reverse gear is selected.
Park Brake Output (Green): A park brake output is provided via a green wire, supplying the park brake signal required by compatible aftermarket head units for safety feature operation.
Illumination Output (Orange): An illumination output is provided via an orange wire, allowing the aftermarket head unit to automatically adjust its display brightness in response to the vehicle's instrument illumination signal.

Rear Speaker ISO Adaptor Included: Some Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles operate off rear speaker outputs only. The supplied ISO adaptor allows rear speakers to be swapped to front if Bluetooth call audio issues occur with the aftermarket head unit.
Custom Button Remapping Available: The SWCH3C supports optional custom button remapping to customise the steering wheel control button configuration. Remapping requires a USB-C cable (sold separately).

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the SWCH3C require cutting of the factory wiring harness?
No. The SWCH3C harness is fitted with a vehicle-specific plug that connects directly into the existing factory wiring in the vehicle without cutting or modifying the factory harness.
Why does the SWCH3C include two different 22-way connector types?
Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles across the supported model range use either the old or new 22-way connector configuration in the factory wiring. The SWCH3C is supplied with both connector types to ensure compatibility across the full range of supported vehicles without requiring a separate adaptor.
Does the SWCH3C retain the OEM amplified sound system?
Yes. The SWCH3C supports OEM amplified system retention. The blue/white wire must be connected for amplified system retention to function. The SWCH3C does not support digital fading. Confirm that digital fading is not a requirement of your specific vehicle's audio system before installation.
Is a SWC patch lead included with the SWCH3C?

What should I do if there are Bluetooth call audio issues after installation?
