SWC Button Reassignment/Remapping
Let’s say you have the 99-7612 programmed to your vehicle and your radio and you want to
change the button assignment for the steering wheel controls. For instance you would like
Seek Up to be Mute.
• The 99-7612 must have detected the vehicle and radio it is attached to before you can
remap any buttons.
• You can only start the remapping of the steering wheel controls process within the first
20-seconds of turning the ignition key on. If you wait longer then the 20-seconds you
will have to turn the ignition off then back on again.
• Within the first 20-seconds if any button other then Volume Up or Volume Down is
pushed, the remapping process will stop.
• If during the remapping process no button is pushed for 30-seconds the remapping
process is aborted and the original settings are reset.
So let’s begin the remapping process:
1. Turning off the radio is recommended.
2. Within the first 20 seconds of turning the ignition on, press and hold down the Volume Up
button for at least 25 seconds.
3. The lights on the 99-7612 will light up solid. Release Volume Up and the lights will go
out. Volume Up has now been programmed.
4. Follow the list below in order however pushing the steering wheel control button you
want for the function below. If you want to skip a command press the Volume Up on the
steering wheel, this will tell the 99-7612 to skip the command and go to the next one.
11. Play/Enter
12. PTT (Push To Talk)
13. On Hook
14. Off Hook
6. Mute
7. Preset Up
8. Preset Down
9. Power
10. Band
1. Volume Up
2. Volume Down
3. Seek Up/Next
4. Seek Down/Prev
5. Source/Mode
* Note: Remember not all radios will have all these commands. Please refer to
the radios’ owners manual for specific commands recognized by the radio.

99-7612
SWC Button Reassignment/Remapping
For instance the next command to be mapped is the Volume Down command. Let’s say
you want the Mode button on your steering wheel to be the Volume Down command.
Hold down the Mode button till the LED lights up solid red, and then release it.
Now your Mode button on the steering wheel is Volume Down.
5. After the last button is programmed on your steering wheel (you do not have to go
through the whole list), hold down the Volume Up button for at least 10-seconds
then the led will go out.
Or
After the 18th button is programmed or skipped the LED will go out and the
remapping is completed.
Driver Information Center Button Control Note:
The metra kit button layout does not provide the MAINT or the E/M buttons from the factory
setup. MAINT button on the 99-7612 is accessed by pressing the DAY/NIGHT and HOUR
buttons simultaneously. The E/M button is done by pressing PREV and MIN simultaneously.
