INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
AX-DSP-HYKIA2
• If the Red light in the AX-DSP-HYKIA2 interface is blinking, it is not communicating to the vehicle. Remove the key from the
ignition, unplug the connectors from the interface, and then inspect all connections made. If everything is proper, connect the
harnesses back into the interface, cycle the key to ignition, then re-inspect. The Red light should be solid.
