AXSWC | Manual Programming
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.
- Cycle the ignition On.
- 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.
- Release the Reset button.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Press and hold the Volume Down button on the steering wheel until the light rapidly flashes Red/Green, then release.
- 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.
- (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.
- 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.
