Default Sony ax-5000 6 SWC not working

I'm replacing the Nav HU in my 2011 and having an issue. Sony XAV-AX5000 and a PAC RP5-GM11

The steering wheel controls are not working. I have gone through the recalibration sequence. Also, during the test sequence, the green indicator light on the interface lights up which leads me to believe the wheel is communicating with the interface. There's nothing to hook any of the SWC outputs to on the HU. I'm including a photo of the wiring and also the dipswitch set to "4" for Sony.

Any help is appreciated. I seem to be missing something.

Get rid of the ROEM and get Axxess! Solved all of my problems!

I don't know what either of those are.

I'm sorry, your PAC interface. The Axxess is a different brand of wire harness.

I see. The PAC is working nicely now. The Axxess does look nice though.

I'd stick with the PAC RP5-GM11, they're the most commonly used one on this forum, and it looks like you have their latest version which is a good thing.
