INSTALLATION

With the key in the off position:

1. Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the AXDIS-HK4 harness, to the AXDIS- HK4 interface.
2. Connect the AXSP-HK interface to the 14-pin connector from the AXSP-HK harness.

Attention! Do not connect the AXDIS-HK4 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle just yet.
Attention! If retaining steering wheel controls, ensure that the jack/wire is connected to the radio before proceeding. If this step is skipped, the AXDIS-HK4 interface will need to be reset for the steering wheel controls to function.

PROGRAMMING

For the steps below, the L.E.D. located inside the AXDIS-HK4 interface can only be seen while active. The interface does not need to be opened to see the L.E.D.

1. Start the vehicle.
2. Connect the AXDIS-HK4 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle.
3. The L.E.D. will initially turn on solid Green, then turn off for a few seconds while it auto detects the radio installed.
4. The L.E.D. will then flash Red up to (18) times indicating which radio is connected to the interface, and then turn off for a couple of seconds. Pay close attention to how many red flashes there are. This will help in troubleshooting, if need be. Refer to the L.E.D. feedback section for more information.
5. After a couple seconds the L.E.D. will turn on solid Red while the interface auto detects the vehicle. The radio will shut off at this point. This process should take 5 to 30 seconds.
6. Once the vehicle has been auto detected by the interface, the L.E.D. will turn on solid Green, and the radio will come back on, indicating programming was successful.
7. Cycle the key off, then back on. If the driver’s door is closed, open and close the door.
8. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.
9. If the interface fails to function, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
   Note: The L.E.D. will turn on solid Green for a moment, and then turn off under normal operation after the key has been cycled.

AUDIO LEVEL ADJUSTMEN

1. With the vehicle and radio turned on, turn the volume up 3/4 of the way.
2. With a small flat-blade screwdriver, adjust the potentiometer clockwise to raise the audio level; counter clockwise to lower the audio level.
3. Once at a desired level, audio adjustment is complete.

STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS

L.E.D. feedback
The (18) Red L.E.D. flashes represent the radio the AXDIS-HK4 interface believes it’s connected to. Each flash represents a different radio Manufacturer. For example, if you are installing a JVC radio, the AXDIS-HK4 interface will flash Red (5) times, and then stop. Following is a legend that dictates which radio Manufacturer corresponds to which flash.

L.E.D. feedback legend

• If the AXDIS-HK4 interface flashes Red (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio connected to it, that means the AXDIS-HK4 interface does not detect a radio connected to it.
  Verify that the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.
  ** The AXSWCH-PAR is required (sold separately). Also, the Parrot radio must be updated to rev.
  2.1.4 or higher through www.parrot.com.
  † If you have a Clarion radio and the steering wheel controls do not work, change the radio type to the other Clarion radio type; same for Eclipse. The following section explains how to do this.
  ‡ If you have a Kenwood radio and the L.E.D. feedback comes back showing as a JVC radio, change the radio type to Kenwood. The following section explains how to do this.

Attention: The Axxess Updater App can also be used to program the following (3) sub-sections as well, pending that the AXDIS-HK4 interface has been programmed and is functional.

Changing radio type
If the L.E.D. flashes do not match the radio you have connected, you must manually program the AXDIS-HK4 interface to tell it what radio it is connected to.

1. After (3) seconds of turning the key on, press and hold the Volume Down button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. in the AXDIS-HK4 interface goes solid.
2. Release the Volume Down button; the L.E.D. will go out indicating the AXDIS-HK4 interface is in Changing Radio Type mode.
3. Refer to the Radio Legend to know which radio number you would like to have programmed.
4. Press and hold the Volume Up button until the L.E.D. goes solid, then release. Repeat this step for the desired radio number you have selected.
5. Once the desired radio number has been selected, press and hold the Volume Down button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid. The L.E.D. will remain on for about (3) seconds while it stores the new radio information.
6. Once the L.E.D. goes out, the Changing Radio Type mode will then end. You can now test the steering control wheel controls.

Note: If at any time the user fails to press any button for a period longer than (10) seconds, this process will abort.

Remapping the steering wheel control buttons
Once the AXDIS-HK4 interface has been programmed, the button assignment for the steering wheel controls may be reassigned if so desired. For example, if Seek Up is preferred to be Mute instead. Follow the steps below to remap the steering wheel control buttons.

1. Ensure that the AXDIS-HK4 interface is visible so you can see the L.E.D. flashes to confirm button recognition.
   Tip: Turning the radio off is recommended.

2. Within the first twenty seconds of turning the ignition on, press and hold the Volume Up button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid.

3. Release the Volume Up button, the L.E.D. will then go out. The Volume Up button has now been programmed.

4. Follow the list in the Button Function Legend to reference the order in which the steering wheel control buttons need to be programmed.
   Note: If the next function on the list is not present on the steering wheel, press the Volume Up button for (1) second until the L.E.D. comes on to skip that function, then release the Volume Up button. This will tell the AXDIS-HK4 interface that this function is not available, and to move on to the next function.

5. To complete the remapping process, press and hold the Volume Up button until the L.E.D. in the AXDIS-HK4 interface goes out.

Dual assignment instructions (long button press)

The AXDIS-HK4 interface has the capability to assign (2) functions to a single button, except Volume Up and Volume Down. Follow the steps below to program the button(s) to the desired setting.
Note: Seek Up and Seek Down come pre-programmed as Preset Up and Preset Down for a long button press.

1. Turn the key to ignition but do not start the vehicle.

2. Press and hold the desired steering wheel control button for (10) seconds, or until the L.E.D. flashes rapidly. At this point release the button; the L.E.D. will then go solid.

3. Press and release the Volume Up button the number of times corresponding to the new button number selected. Refer to the Dual Assignment Legend. The L.E.D. will flash rapidly while the Volume Up button is being pressed, and then go back to a solid L.E.D. once released. Proceed to the next step once the Volume Up button has been pressed the desired number of times.
   Caution: If more than (10) seconds elapses between pressing the Volume Up button, this procedure will abort, and the L.E.D. will go out.

4. Press the desired button to store it to memory. The L.E.D. will now go out indicating the new information has been stored to memory.

Note: These steps must be repeated for each button desired to assign a dual assignment feature to. To reset a button back to its default state, repeat Step 1, then press the Volume Down button.
The L.E.D. will go out, and the dual assignment feature for that button will be erased.
