• How do I program the steering wheel controls on my Upgrade stereo?

  Locate the KEY and ground wires on the stereo and connect them to your vehicle's steering wheel control lines. Then, press and hold the desired function key on your steering wheel, and tap the corresponding function key on the car stereo screen. The screen button will remain lit to indicate successful learning.
