MK2 - Wiring up steering wheel controlls (SWC) to new radio

Featured Replies

I've just fitted a new double din radio to my Focus MK2 and the steering controls where not part of the new fittings. I hard wired them into the correct place and put the wires into the correct location in the plug but they still don't work. I'll upload the diagram and photos later today but i've seen some people use an interface for the SWC. My focus is 2010 model. 

This is the radio i bought:

But prior to this one, I had an andorid radio for 2 weeks, until I got fed up with things not working properly, but on the android one, the SWC were already part of the wiring harness that came with the radio as the radio was for a MK2 Ford

This is the Android Radio, says its Android 10 but it was 8.1 so was fake.

Anyway, any advice on getting the SWC to work would be much appreciated, the wiring is very thin for the SWC. 

Thanks in advance.
