AXSWC Manual Programming - PDF.pdf2703.0KB

WARNING The Manual Programming process only applies to resistive-based steering wheel control vehicles (non-data communication vehicles that do not use the Pink and/or Blue/Pink wires for steering wheel control). If unsure, doublecheck the Connections section above and very that your application does not utilize Pink and/or Blue/Pink wires for installation.

If the automatic programming sequence fails even after following the Troubleshooting steps above, the AXSWC interface may be manually programmed to the vehicle under certain conditions.

Read the steps below in advance to have a clear understanding of what is expected. Manual programming is a timed process. The procedure is broken into two sections for ease and clarity, but the entire process must be completed.

Vehicle Programming

Use the steps below to manually program the interface to the vehicle.

WARNING If more than ten (10) seconds elapses between steps the procedure will abort and you must begin again from Step 1.

1. Cycle the ignition On.

2. Press and hold the Reset button † in the interface for approximately fifteen (15) seconds, or until the LED in the interface slowly flashes Red/Green.

3. Release the Reset button.
4. Press and hold the Volume Up button on the steering wheel until the light turns solid Green, then release. The LED will go out, indicating Volume Up has now been programmed.

NOTE If the light doesn’t turn solid Green after seven (7) seconds, there may be a problem with the vehicle’s Volume Up button.

5. Press and hold the Volume Down button on the steering wheel until the LED turns solid Green, then release. The LED will go out indicating Volume Down has been programmed.

6. Continue from Seek Up/Next using the Manual Programming Legend below to reference the order in which the steering wheel control buttons must be programmed.

NOTE If a function in the legend is not present on the steering wheel, press the Volume Up button on the steering wheel until the light turns solid Green, then release. This will force the interface to skip that function.

7. After the final steering wheel control button has been programmed, press and hold the Volume Up button on the steering wheel until the light flashes slowly Red/Green, then release.

Radio programming

Use the steps below to manually program the interface to the radio.

8. Press and hold the Volume Down button on the steering wheel until the light rapidly flashes Red/Green, then release.

9. After approximately four (4) seconds the LED will go out for several seconds. The light will then flash Red up to twenty-four (24) times depending on which radio is installed.

10. (Optional) If the Red flashes do match the radio installed: press and hold the Volume Up button on the steering wheel until the LED turns solid Red, then release. Repeat this step for the desired radio number selected. *Reference the Radio Legend below.
11. Press and hold the Volume Down button on the steering wheel until the LED turns solid Red.

The manual programming process is complete. Test the steering wheel controls for proper functionality.

Keynotes

Some vehicles may not retain certain steering wheel control commands. Non-audio commands may or may not be recognized, such as Bluetooth or Menu commands. Known vehicles are GM vehicles with OnStar, and Ford vehicles with SYNC.

Aftermarket radios without Bluetooth capability will not recognize PTT (push to talk) or On/Off Hook commands. However, these buttons may be able to be manually programmed for other commands. Contact the radio Manufacturer for specific commands the radio will recognize.
