Control Setup & Reset
By default, RetroSound® Radio Motors are configured to function with standard
Radio Faces like the Detroit but can be configured to function with other
RetroSound Radio Faces with alternate control layouts. If you have mistakenly
changed your Radio Motor to use an alternate control layout, follow the steps
below to reboot and change control modes back to the default settings. With
the vehicle’s ignition on, press and hold the Left-Front Knob(1) for
approximately 15 seconds to reboot the radio into the SEL PANEL menu. Once in
the SEL PANEL menu, press and release the power button until the correct
panel/control mode is displayed (select “Normal” for standard 2-shaft/push-
button controls). Let the unit time out to accept the changes. The display
will flash five times and reboot with the selected control mode activated.
