1. These instructions apply to R.1.5.1.4 or later revisions. The revision info can be found on a small white sticker on the interface and
packaging.
2. The radio select rotary switch, on the side of the interface, must be adjusted to the proper radio setting before plugging the interface into the
vehicle (see next page for setting chart).
3. The interface comes pre-programmed for all of the vehicles factory SWC functions and does not require programming, unless you wish
to re-assign the SWC functions, or utilize short press long press dual command functionality. The SWC can always be restored to default
settings by pressing and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once, and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to ash 4 times.
4. Vehicles equipped with factory navigation must follow the installation tech brief listed at www.pac-audio.com under the RP4-HD11 product
page.
5. Vehicles equipped with a 7” touchscreen: Once the factory head unit has been removed, you will no longer be able to set the clock
or date on the factory display, as this is derived from the factory head unit. The date on the screen can be permanently removed by
disconnecting the batttery to clear the screen’s memory. In order to set the clock you will need to disconnect the vehicles battery at 1:00, as
this is the time the screen defaults to once it has been reset.
6. The LED will ash whenever a SWC button is pressed.

The RP4-HD11 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select Honda vehicles with MSCAN databus radios. Using this
interface will retain factory features, such as steering wheel controls (SWC), the factory amplier, and the ability to set the factory
clock when the original radio is removed. Use of this interface also allows you to program two radio functions to each SWC button by
using short press long, press dual command functionality. The RP4-HD11 also provides data bus driven outputs, such as accessory
power, vehicle speed sensor (VSS), illumination, reverse trigger, and parking brake.

programming, unless you wish to re-assign the SWC functions or utilize short press, long press dual command functionality. The
SWC can always be restored to default settings by pressing and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once
,and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to ash 4 times.

1. The radio select rotary switch, on the side of the interface, must be adjusted to the proper radio setting before plugging the interface
into the vehicle.
2. Make all connections as described in the chart on page 1. If there is a Premium Audio system present: Connect the RCA inputs to the
aftermarket radio’s pre-amp output. The audio level will vary, depending on the new radio’s pre-amp output voltage (2-4 volts is recommended).
If there is not a Premium Audio system present: Cut off the RCA input connectors, and connect the aftermarket radio’s speaker outputs to
the remaining wire according to the chart on page 1.
3. If the vehicle is equipped with a factory subwoofer, plug the RCA cables from the 8 pin plug, into the Subwoofer, or Non-Fading output of the
aftermarket radio.
4. Connect the SWC wire according to the chart on page 1 (aftermarket radio MUST support a wired remote input).
5. If you wish to reassign functions to the SWC, follow the programming instructions on the next page.
IMPORTANT! If you wish to use the Voice, Answer, and End buttons, you must hardwire them into the RP4-HD11. The wire you
need to connect into, can be found by removing the plastic panels surrounding the steering wheel column, and accessing the
connector which houses the wire (Fig. 1). Once you have located the connector, you must connect into the wire located in pin 3
(Fig. 2). Wire colors are normally Blue in the Civic, and Yellow in the CRV, but may vary by vehicle. Connect to the RP4-HD11
interface connector, as shown in Fig. 3.

Optional Steering Wheel Control Programming
PLEASE NOTE: The screen on the dash can not be in the “Vehicle Menu” mode when reprogramming the SWC. If the
screen displays “Vehicle Menu”, press the Menu button on the SWC to leave this screen, and ensure you are in the proper
mode before proceeding.
1. Turn the key to the ignition position.
2. Press and release programming button on the side of the interface.
3. Within 7 seconds, press the button that is to be learned on the steering wheel. The LED will turn off when the button is pressed.
At this point you have two options:
A. For short press functionality: Release the button within 1.5 seconds. The LED will turn back on.
B. For long press functionality: Hold the button until the LED starts blinking. Release the button and the LED will
go back to solid.
4. If you need to program more buttons, repeat step 3 for each additional audio function on the steering wheel.
5. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press and
release the program button on the side of the interface to skip that function.
6. Once programming is completed, wait seven seconds. The LED will ash three times, indicating end of programming.
7. Test the interface for proper functionality. Whenever a SWC is pressed, the LED on the interface should blink. If any function
does not work, repeat the programming steps
If you wish to re-assign the SWC functions or utilize short press, long press dual command functionality, the interface must be
programmed in the specic order shown on the chart below. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel
does not have, or you do not want to program, press and release the program button on the side of the interface to skip that
function. The LED will ash off, and on, conrming that you have successfully skipped that function and are ready to proceed to
the next one.

SWC Re-calibration
1. Turn the key to the ignition position.
2. Press and hold the programming button for 7 seconds, until the LED begins
blinking. When the LED begins blinking, release the programming button.
3. Within 7 seconds, press and release the button that is to be learned on the
steering wheel. The LED will turn off when the button is pressed, and come back
on when it is released.
4. If you need to program more buttons, repeat step 3 for each additional audio
function on the steering wheel.
5. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not
have, press and release the program button on the side of the interface to skip
that function.
6. Once programming is completed, wait seven seconds. The LED will ash three
times, indicating end of programming.
7. Test the interface for proper functionality. Whenever a SWC is pressed, the
LED on the interface should blink. If any function does not work, repeat the
programming steps
This section only applies to the Answer, Hang Up and Voice buttons. All of the other buttons are data driven and will never
require re-calibration.
SWC re-calibration is necessary when the SWC operation is erratic or non-existent. This process re-calibrates the SWC values
to the RP4 interface, so it will know what they can be set to for button function assignment. The interface must be programmed
in the specic order shown in the chart below. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have,
you must press and release the program button, on the side of the interface, to skip that function. The LED will ash off and on,
conrming that you have successfully skipped that function, and are ready to proceed to the next one.
The SWC and radio command assignments can always be restored to default values by entering re-calibration mode (Steps
1-2) and not pressing any buttons. After 7 seconds the re-calibration mode will time out, and all default values will be restored.
After you have re-calibrated the SWC buttons, the default SWC button assignments will be the same as what is listed in the
chart on page 2. If you wish to re-assign button functions, you must also go through the programming process on page 3.
