Crux SWRSU-38C User manual

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant and I have analyzed the user manual for the CRUX SWRSU-38C Radio Replacement Interface. This document provides instructions on how to replace your factory radio with an aftermarket one while retaining features like steering wheel controls and the backup camera in Subarus. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about it.
  • Does this device retain factory steering wheel controls?
    Does this device also retain the factory backup camera?
    Does this device retain factory Starlink functionality?

SHIELD to SWC Ground
For aermarket radios that have wires for SWC connecons, cut o the 3.5mm plug on the Crux SWC Cable and connect the
SWC wires as follows:
Note that there are some radios that only have
SWC1 and SWC2, in this case “shield” does not
need to be connected.
NOTE:
For non-amplied systems only.
STARLINK RETENTION:
To retain Starlink, separate the Starlink module from the radio and reconnect
the harness and antenna connectors to the module. Stu the Starlink module
back into the dash and secure it with zip es or tape to prevent it from raling.
NOTE: The front speaker audio will be lost if the StarLink module is removed
from the system.
There are 2 possible DIP switch sengs for the Subaru SWC as follows. Try the one that matches your vehicle.
