PROGRAMMING

Open the driver’s door, and keep it open during the programming process.Cycle the ignition on.

Connect the AXTC-BM1 harness to the AXTC-BM1 interface, and then to the wiring harness in the vehicle.

Locate the Volume Up button on the steering wheel. Program the interface by tapping the Volume Up button until the LED stops flashing.

The LED will flash Green & Red while the interface programs the radio to the steering wheel controls. Once programmed, the LED will go out, then produce a pattern that will identify the radio type installed. Refer to the Radio LED Feedback section under Troubleshooting for radio types.

The LED will go out, then once again quickly flash Green & Red while the interface programs itself to the vehicle. Once programmed, the LED will go out again, then turn solid Green.

Cycle the ignition off, then back on.

Test all functions of the installation for proper operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the interface fails to function, press and release the reset button, then repeat the programming process from step 4 to try again.

Final LED Feedback

2. At the end of programming, the LED will turn Solid Green which indicates programming was successful. If the LED didn’t turn Solid Green, reference the list below to understand which programming section the problem may stem from.

LED Light	Radio Programming Section	Vehicle Programming Section
Solid Green	Pass	Pass
Slow Red Flash	Fail	Pass
Slow Green Flash	Pass	Fail
Solid Red	Fail	Fail

Note: If the LED shows Solid Green for Pass (indicating everything programmed correctly), yet the steering wheel controls don’t work, make sure that the 3.5mm jack is plugged in, and lugged into the correct jack in the radio. Once corrected, press the reset button, then program again.
