LED will change back to green.
b. For long press functionality: Continue to hold the button until the LED ashes between red and amber and a
long chime is heard. Release the button and the LED will change back to green.
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. The LED will go off and you will hear two
chimes when it is done successfully.
