AXTC Advanced Programming

The AXTC interface can be used in vehicles without steering wheel controls to provide retained accessory power and wires for multimedia radios (park brake/reverse / speed-sense).

Follow the steps below to program the AXTC-CH5 for just these features.

From the 3.5mm adapter, tie the Brown and Brown/White wires together and tape up or use a connector.
Connect the 3.5mm adapter to the 3.5mm jack from the AXTC-CH5 harness.
Program the AXTC-CH5 per the AXTC-CH5 instructions, page 3. Disregard steps 4 and 5.

Final LED Feedback

At the end of programming the LED light will turn solid Green which indicates programming was successful.
If the LED light turned solid Red instead, this means programming has failed. Reset the interface and try again.
If still no success after resetting and reprogramming the interface, refer to the Vehicle Troubleshooting document for the interface.
Ignore the steps referencing steering wheel controls.
