INSTALLATION
Connect the AXHN-2 harness to the AXHN-2 interface, and then to the wiring harness in the vehicle.
PROGRAMMING
- Turn the key (or push-to-start button) to the ignition position and wait until the radio comes on. Note: If the radio doesn’t come on within 60 seconds, turn the key to the off position, disconnect the interface, check all connections, reconnect the interface, and then try again.
- Turn the key to the off position, and then to the accessory position. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation before reassembling the dash.
EXTRA SETTINGS
LaneWatch settings:
Note: The LaneWatch button is located on the left side of the steering wheel, on the stalk.
- Press and hold the LaneWatch button for 15 seconds to toggle the right turn signal triggering on or off. If on, press and hold the button again for 15 seconds to toggle it off. Likewise, if off.
- The high-beam indicator will flash 1 time if off; 2 times if on.
Note: Right turn signal triggering is default on.
CAUTION! The following step should only be performed by an authorized Honda technician. Once this procedure has been started, you cannot back out of it. - Press and hold the LaneWatch button for 50 seconds to begin the LaneWatch aiming procedure. The high-beam indicator will flash 3 times. At this point, the display will also show an image of the LaneWatch camera feed, with instructions on what to do–a Honda authorized technician will know what to do from here.
Note: While accessing LaneWatch, aiming the right turn signal triggering will be toggled after 15 seconds have passed, so the high-beam indicator will flash before the 50-second mark is reached. The technician will have to ignore that and continue holding the button until the 50-second mark is reached to aim the camera.
Clock and date settings:
Note: This section refers to the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel.
Note: This process will end if no button is pressed for 15 seconds.
- Activate the analog clock on the top screen.
- Press and hold the “Source” button for 15 seconds until the high-beam indicator blinks twice, and then let go.
- Press and release the “Seek-Up” and “Seek-Down” buttons to toggle between minutes, hours, days, months, and years.
- Once you have selected a choice, press and release the “Volume-Up” or “Volume-Down” buttons to adjust the settings.
