Putting an aftermarket stereo into my 08 TL Type S trying to use the Axxess ASWC adapter to keep my steering wheel controls. I installed it and it doesn't seem to be detecting the steering wheel control wire. I've followed the instructions in that I've connected the following:
* Black of ASWC-1 to ground(Pin 11) of the radio harness
* Red of ASWC-1 to 12V ignition(Pin 2)
* Gray/Red of ASWC-1 to Pin 3(Pink wire)
This is from following the instructions here:

When I turn the ignition, it goes into it's auto-detect mode and when it finishes, it goes into a slow green/red flash, indicating it didn't detect the vehicle. All the green flashes are short flashes, which indicates it isn't detecting the steering wheel wire. The 4th flash should be a long flash indicating the gray/red wire is connected. I'm pretty sure I have the right wires, since the adapter does turn on and to into programming mode, and I found another document somewhere(can't find it now) that confirms it should be the pink wire that gets tapped into.
I initially crimped it with a butt splice crimp, then I tried a wire cap, and multiple times with just the wires twisted together to make sure that it wasn't the connection that was causing the issue. Now I'm wondering if I maybe yanked on the wire too hard when I first installed the thing and pulled it out somewhere upstream.
Is there a way I could test that the pink wire is actually connected? I have a voltmeter I can use.
Any help would be appreciated.
