PROGRAMMING

1. Open the driver’s door, and keep open during the programming process.
   

2. Cycle the ignition on and wait (5) seconds, or until the factory display screens reads LINEIN.
   

3. Connect the AXTC-FD2harness to the AXTC-FD2interface, and then to the wiring harness in the vehicle.
   

4. Locate the Volume   Up button on the steering wheel. Program the interfaceby tapping the Volume Up button at a heartbeat pace until the LED light stops flashing.
   

5. The LED light will flash Green & Red while the interface programs the radio to the steering wheel controls. Once programmed, the LED light will go out, then produce a pattern which will identify the radio type installed.

6. The LED light will go out, then once again quickly flash Green & Red while the interface programs itself to the vehicle. Once programmed, the LED light will go out again, then turn solid Green.
   

7. Cycle the ignition off, then back on.

8. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation.
   

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. If the interface fails to function, press and release the reset button, then repeat the programming process from step 4 to try again.
2. Final LED Feedback
   At the end of programming the LED light will turn Solid Green which indicates programming was successful. If the LED light didn’t turn Solid Green, reference the list below to understand which programming section the problem may stem from.

LED Light| Radio Programming Section| Vehicle Programming Section
---|---|---
Solid Green| Pass| Pass
Slow Red Flash| Fail| Pass
Slow Green Flash| Pass| Fail
Solid Red| Fail| Fail

Note: If the LED light shows Solid Green for Pass (indicating everything programmed correctly), yet the steering wheel controls don’t work, check to ensure that the 3.5mm jack is plugged in, and also plugged into the correct jack on the radio. Once corrected, press the reset button, then program again.
