the wiring harness in the vehicle.
Locate the Volume Up button on the the steering wheel. Program the
interface by tapping the Volume Up button at a heartbeat pace until the
LED light stops flashing.
The LED light will flash Green & Red while the interface programs
the radio to the steering wheel controls. Once programmed, the
LED light will go out, then produce a pattern which will identify the
radio type installed. Refer to the Radio LED Feedback section under
Troubleshooting for radio types.
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.
Cycle the ignition off, then back on.
Test all functions of the installation for proper operation.
Note: Audio Mode must be selected in the MFI menu to allow track up
and down to function. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for more
