A CANBUS steering wheel control interface engineered for various Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models, the SWCH3C retains factory steering wheel controls and supports OEM amplified systems, with reverse trigger, park brake, illumination, and amp remote outputs, supplied with both old and new 22-way connector types and requiring no cutting of the factory wiring harness.

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

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.
