Step 15. This is where your install may be different. Many people use the SWC interface from PAC. The reviews I read said that the Metra interface performed better. To install the Metra Axxess AWSC box. It install easy, you need to hook up the red wire(pin 12) to a switched 12volts. Ground pins #2(grey and redwire) and pin 6(black wire) for the Axxess box. Only other pin that needs to be connected is pin 5(connect this to the SWC wire we ran down the roll connector.
The write up is much appreciated, however I believe you mixed up the corresponding wire colors for pin 2 & 5 for the METRA Axxess ASWC box.

I believe pin 5 (gray/red) is suppose to be connected to the SWC signal wire from the steering wheel, while pin 2 (white/green) is suppose to be grounded with pin 6 (black) from the Axxess box.

Below is a link to the pdf file from Metra, pg 5 shows the pin out for the ASWC box.

Here's another link for Axxess box installation into a 3rd gen Outback with SWC. You will see on the 1st pg, point #4 states to ground the white/green wire (pin 2) with the black wire (pin 6) of the Axxess box. There is also some additional information on the 2nd pg in the link below for wiring in aftermarket head units.

Please confirm if this correct, and if possible edit your write up, to prevent any future diy-er errors.
