STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS
L.E.D. feedback
The (18) Red L.E.D. flashes represent the radio the AX-HYKIA4-SWC interface believes it’s
connected to. Each flash represents a different radio Manufacturer. For example, if you are
installing a JVC radio, the AX-HYKIA4-SWC interface will flash Red (5) times, and then stop.
Following is a legend that dictates which radio Manufacturer corresponds to which flash.

* If the AX-HYKIA4-SWC interface flashes Red (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio
connected to it, that means the AX-HYKIA4-SWC interface does not detect a radio connected to
it. Verify that the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio .
** The AX-SWC-PARROT is required (sold separately). Also, the Parrot radio must be updated to
rev. 2.1.4 or higher through www.parrot.com.

If you have a Clarion radio and the steering wheel controls do not work, change the radio type
to the other Clarion radio type; same for Eclipse. The following section explains how to do this .
‡ If you have a Kenwood radio and the L.E.D. feedback comes back showing as a JVC radio,
change the radio type to Kenwood. The following section explains how to do this.
Changing radio type
If the L.E.D. flashes do not match the radio you have connected, you must manually program
the AX-HYKIA4-SWC interface to tell it what radio it is connected to.
1. After (3) seconds of turning the key on, press and hold the Volume Down button on the
steering wheel until the L.E.D. in the AX-HYKIA4-SWC interface goes solid.
2. Release the Volume Down button; the L.E.D. will go out indicating the AX-HYKIA4-SWC
interface is in Changing Radio Type mode.
3. Refer to the Radio Legend to know which radio number you would like to have
programmed.
4. Press and hold the Volume Up button until the L.E.D. goes solid, then release. Repeat this
step for the desired radio number you have selected.
5. Once the desired radio number has been selected, press and hold the Volume Down button
on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid. The L.E.D. will remain on for about (3)
seconds while it stores the new radio information.
6. Once the L.E.D. goes out, the Changing Radio Type mode will then end. You can now test the
steering control wheel controls.
Note: If at any time the user fails to press any button for a period longer than (10) seconds, this
process will abort.
Attention:
The Axxess Updater App can also be used to program the following (3) sub-sections
as well, pending that the AX-HYKIA4-SWC interface has been programmed and is functional .
