PROGRAMMING

With the key in the off position:

1. Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the car side harness, into the

Axxess interface.

2. Connect the climate control harness to the radio trim panel with climate controls, then to the

wiring harness in the vehicle.

3. Locate the factory antenna connector in the dash and complete all necessary connections to

the radio. Metra recommends using the proper antenna adapter from Metra.

Attention! Do not connect the car side harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle just yet.

PROGRAMMING THE INTERFACE

For the steps below, the L.E.D. located inside the interface can only be seen while active. The

interface does not need to be opened to see the L.E.D.

• Start the vehicle.

• Connect the car side harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle. The L.E.D. will initially be solid

Green to indicate the interface is powered.

• The L.E.D. will then ﬂash Red up to (18) times indicating which radio is connected to the

interface, and then turn off for a couple of seconds. Pay close attention to how many Red

ﬂashes there are. This will help in troubleshooting, if need be. Refer to the L.E.D. feedback

section for more information.

• After a couple seconds the L.E.D. will turn on solid Red while the interface auto detects the

vehicle. The radio will shut off at this point. This process should take 5 to 30 seconds.

• Once the vehicle has been auto detected by the interface, the L.E.D. will turn on solid Green,

and the radio will come back on, indicating programming was successful.

• Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash. If

the interface fails to function, refer to Resetting the interface.

Note: The L.E.D. will turn on solid Green for a moment, and then turn off under normal

operation after the key has been cycled.

• Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.

• If the interface fails to function, refer to “Troubleshooting”, “Resetting the Axxess interface”.

Chime level adjustment:

• With the vehicle on, turn it off and leave the keys in ignition. Open the driver’s door; chimes

will be heard.

• Wait 10 seconds, and then with a small ﬂat-blade screwdriver, turn the potentiometer

clockwise to raise the chime level; counterclockwise to lower the chime level.

• When the chime is at a desired level, remove the keys from the ignition. This will lock the

chime volume at its current level.
