Programming

1. Turn the ignition on. [See Figure 1]
2. Connect the BC-HDR-K3 harness to the wiring harness in the bike. [See Figure 2]
3. For vehicles without hand controls: The interface will automatically program. [See Figure 3]
4. For vehicles with hand controls: Locate the Volume Up button on the clutch side hand control. Program the interface by tapping the Volume Up button at a heartbeat pace until the LED light stops flashing. [See Figure 4]
5. The LED light will flash Green & Red while the interface programs the radio to the handlebar controls. Once programmed, the LED light will go out, then produce a pattern which will identify the radio type installed. [See Figure 5]
6. The LED light will go out, then once again quickly flash Green & Red while the interface programs itself to the vehicle. Once programmed, the LED light will go out again, then turn solid Green. [See Figure 6]
7. Turn the ignition off, then back on. [See Figure 7]
8. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation. [See Figure 8]

LCD Operation

The included LCD screen provides oil pressure and EITMS status. For more information, please see the owner's manual that came with the bike.

Main menu options:

• Red adjusts the red backlighting of the LCD (ranges from 1 to 32).
• Blue adjusts the blue backlighting of the LCD (ranges from 1 to 32).
• Green adjusts the green backlighting of the LCD (ranges from 1 to 32).
• Contrast adjusts the contrast of the LCD (ranges from 1 to 100).
• Reset puts the color back to the default settings.

Navigation:

• Arrow Up - Toggles "up" through menu options
• Arrow Down - Toggles "down" through menu options
• Return/ESC - Return to the previous menu
• Enter - Enter current menu option

Important Note:

If the Oil/EITMS information does not show up on the kit, perform this step:

• Press and hold the "Return/ESC" button on the LCD screen for 5 seconds until "Select Interface" comes up.
• Select "Connection Type", and then press "Enter".
• Scroll up or down to "Direct Connect", and then press "Enter".
• Once done, press "Return/ESC" to back out of that mode.

Troubleshooting

Final LED Feedback

Note: If the LED light shows Solid Green (indicating everything programmed correctly), yet the steering wheel controls don't work, check to ensure that the 3.5mm jack is plugged in, and also plugged into the correct jack on the radio. Once corrected, press the reset button, then program again.

If the interface fails to function, you will need to press the reset button. To access the button, remove the cover of the water resistant case, slide out the circuit board, and press the reset button. The LED will start flashing; starting at step 2, repeat the programming process.
