Important Notes and Warnings

For Fiat Vehicles:

For RAM ProMaster Vehicles:

• The interface will not retain the Phone and Voice buttons.

Note on Jeep Renegade & Compass Vehicles:

Some Jeep Renegade and Jeep Compass vehicles may experience issues with factory dashboard chimes, interior alarms, turn signals, and hazard audible chimes not working or being inaudible. This is a known issue with the factory speaker wiring and is NOT caused by the SWRCR-59D interface. The interface also does not retain the factory backup camera with an LVDS connection.
