Alpine Steering Wheel Controls 2011 Hyundai Getz

Hi all
I have a 2011 Hyundai Getz and have just purchased and installed an Alpine UTE-62EBT mechless head unit. I have used Aerpro ISO harnesses to connect this with no issues.

My question is regarding steering wheel controls.
My local audio dealerships are completely useless and the car audio specialist has provided me different information on 3 occasions and keeps changing and exchanging the items I need to get this to work.

The Alpine unit handbook mentions a proprietary alpine steering wheel control unit which my car audio dealership won’t supply.

They initially supplied me with a universal SWI which didnt work because the connection for REM (hardwired remote controls, I.e steering wheel controls) on this alpine unit is a 3.5mm aux plug on the back as seen in the image below.

They then exchanged it for a universal patch lead which has the 3.5mm aux plug but then has a little 10pin harness which I can’t plug in anywhere?

My 2011 Getz has a small harness as seen in the image below for the steering wheel controls which is seperate to the standard audio harness. Only two wires go into this harness. You can see the connectors inside the plug in the photo.

So, hoping to cut out the confusing and changing information provided by my audio dealers.... could someone help me find the correct products to connect these two wires into the alpine unit so I can use my steering wheel?

I’m in Australia so sourcing some of the stuff on amazon USA can be hard.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I have no knowledge about the Getz as it was never sold in North America.
I suggest you use a DMM to see if there is any voltage to ground on those 2 pins.
If there isn't, record resistance readings between the pins without activating a SW switch and when each radio function switch is pressed.

I found -this thread- where a guy did a similar thing using a "SWIJACK".

Talking about the two pin jack he says:

The '07 Getz (and probably others) have two wires, red and pink, that connect to the factory deck to control from the steering wheel, in a separate plug to the main wiring harness.

-The RED wire carries the info and must be attatched to the WHITE wire of the SWIJACK interface.
-The PINK wire must be connected to neg (-) ground.

I will test resistance on the red wire when pressing each button and record results.

Will report back soon.

No voltage reported when connecting black DMM prong to negative and red DMM prong to either of these two wires.

With negative prong in the pink wire of the plug and the positive prong in the red wire of the plug, the following resistances were measured from each of the button presses:

Volume Up: 4.63k ohm (4630 ohm)
Volume Down: 6.84k ohm (6840 ohm)
Seek Up: 0.436k ohm (436 ohm)
Seek Down: 1.118k ohm (1118 ohm)
Mode: 2.122k ohm (2122 ohm)

What do I do with this information?

So you've determined it's resistance based. See if it's resistance to ground, or battery positive.

IIRC, many Hondas/Acuras used resistance to ground, and many GM's used resistance to battery positive.

Then, program accordingly:

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

At the risk of looking like a goose.....
How do I check if it’s reaistance to negative or resistance to battery positive?

Black meter lead to a ground, (cigarette lighter rim) the other to one of the two steering wheel control wires. Then try the other control wire.

Now, place your red meter lead to a positive source, (center of cigarette lighter if constant, fuse box, etc.) the other to your suspect wire. Then test the other.

I saw somewhere is this thread that you are supposed to ground one of the wires and connect the other to a wire on the PAC steering wheel control module. This leads me to believe that the OEM radio provides ground to that wire when connected to it.

A PAC SWI-CP5 can be programmed to accommodate the Getz to Alpine HU.

Yep.

In the thread I linked above, jepjep says to connect the pink wire to ground and the red to the SWI device.

Does this mean it’s resistance to positive?

And is the only reason I need this info so I know which wire to ground and which one to connect to the SWI device?

Use your meter to find out if any wire is connected to ground or battery positive.
If one of them is connected, it is the other wire that gets connected to the SWI device.

Neither wire is going to show an electrical connection to ground or power. It got ground from the OEM radio. That is why they tell you to ground one of the wires. Having to ground one of the wires is normal in many vehicles. Ground the wire they are telling you to ground and connect the other to the wire of the Pac unit.
