Programming the Remote Control to Operate
Other Vehicle Components
(Optional)
In addition to controlling the satellite receiver, you may be able
to operate your vehicle’s TV, VCR, DVD, or AUX components
using your new TracVision remote control. To program your
remote control, choose either of the following programming
options:
Option 1 - Code Scanning - See the procedure below.
Option 2 - Code Entry - See the TracVision A5
Installation Guide for details.
Code Scanning
1. Keep your remote control aimed at the IR input
(or “eye”) for the component you want to control.
For example, if you want to program the remote
control to operate your TV, keep the remote aimed
at the TV’s IR input (many in-vehicle TVs come
with an IR eye built into the screen).
2. Press and hold the remote control’s component
button (for example, TV).
3. At the same time, press the MUTE button for two
seconds.
4. Release both buttons.
The component button should light and remain lit.
If it doesn’t remain lit, repeat Steps 1 through 4
above.
5. Repeatedly press the upper part of the CHANNEL
(CH) button.
6. Continue pressing the CHANNEL (CH) button to
step through the codes until the component turns
off, indicating that you have found the correct
device code. If you accidentally pass a code that
responds or realize you may not have been aiming
the remote control at the component, repeatedly
press the lower part of the CHANNEL (CH)
button to step backward through the codes.

To use the code entry method, you’ll need to know the
correct manufacturer’s device codes for each component
you want to operate. Code scanning may be more time-
consuming, but you don’t need to know the
manufacturer’s control codes.
