a MUTE, PARKING BRAKE, VSS OR SPEED SENSE, and a
reverse output to make installing an aftermarket navigational radio
simpler and less time comsuming.

SELECTING SYNC/RSE/SAT/DVD/AUX:
With the ignition on, and the aftermarket radio on (Make sure radio is in AUX mode):
(NOTE: Not all vehicles have all sources factory equipped)
Press and hold the Media button on the steering wheel for 2 seconds. This will switch
to the next available sources in your vehicle. Each time the media button is press
for 2 seconds the source will change. The sequence of sources are, SYNC→R.S.E.
(rear seat entertainment) →, Satellite radio, AUX, DVD. Pressing the media button
for 2 seconds again will take you back to SYNC. To temporarily disable SYNC/
RSE/SAT/DVD/AUX, press and hold the media button for 3 seconds. To turn it
back on press the voice button or press media for 2 seconds. There will be a visual
conrmation of what source you are in from the provided LCD screen. This screen
will also provide satellite and SYNC information.

THE LCD SCREEN
The LCD screen will allow you to navigate through factory installed SYNC, R.S.E.
(rear seat entertainment), aux, and satellite options. It will also allow you to view the
current source and any information that may be available.

PROGRAMMING THE SWC
After all connections are made, turn ignition on and wait fteen seconds. After that
time period test SWC functions.
REMAPPING THE SWC BUTTONS
Let’s say you have the FRST programmed to your vehicle and your radio and you
want to change the button assignment for the steering wheel controls. For instance
you would like Seek Up to be Mute.
This process is the same as manually programming the FRST (please refer to the
Manual Programming section) with a couple of notes:
• The FRST must have detected the vehicle and radio it is attached to before you
can remap any buttons.
• You can only start the remapping of the steering wheel controls process within
the rst 20 seconds of turning the ignition key on. If you wait longer then the 20
seconds you will have to turn the ignition off then back on again.
• Within the rst 20 seconds if any button other then Volume Up or Volume Down
is pushed, the remapping process will stop.
• If during the remapping process no button is pushed for 30 seconds the
remapping process is aborted and the original settings are reset.
SO LET’S BEGIN THE REMAPPING PROCESS:
1. Ideally having the FRST visible is recommended since you can see the led
ashes to conrm button recognition.
2. Turning off the radio is recommended
3. Within the rst 20 seconds of turning the ignition on, press and hold down the
Volume Up button for at least 25 seconds.
