Using cruise control buttons for radio volume
#21
After looking at a few other threads regarding steering wheels, I think what you are trying to do might not be possible. The pac adapter reads resistance of each button press and if that matches the value of what it's looking for then it will send the command to the radio. ex. 200 ohms for volume up, 150 ohms for volume down. I don't know if the buttons for cruise control will show the same resistance as it does for radio controls. (ex + on the cruise control might read 200 ohms but the vol up might read 150 ohms. I don't know the exact values of each so I'm not sure if this will work the way you want it to.

** Correction, I looked at the newer version, ASWC-1, which can be manually programmed.
I emailed Metra and Jake in tech support emailed me back saying that I could not use the cruise control buttons because they have power going to them. However that doesn't make sense to me so I asked for a further explanation.

I checked the instructions and that one can also be manually programmed.

Alright I found the wires! I get:
Nominal: 4300 Ohms
CC On: 2110 Ohms
CC Off: zero Ohms
Resume CC: 1110 Ohms
CC Plus: 600 Ohms
CC Minus: 300 Ohms
It turned out to be a connector directly under the steering wheel. It is towards the top of this picture.
The ground wire is the black wire in the middle of the connector (5th wire of 9 wires). Not the other black wire. And the signal is the orange wire directly next to it (6 of 9).

This is where those pc led connectors I mentioned earlier in the will come in handy. If you don't want to cut any wires just disconnect the harness and use the led connectors in the pins you need. Just make sure you connect the power for the lights on the buttons so when turn on the headlights, those button lights turn on too. Good luck
