PROGRAMMING

Open the driver’s door, and keep open during the programming process.

Cycle the ignition on and wait (5) seconds.

3. Connect the AXTC-FD3 harness to the AXTC-FD3 interface, and then to

the wiring harness in the vehicle.

Locate the Volume Up button on the steering wheel. Program the interface

by tapping the Volume Up button at a heartbeat pace until the LED light

stops ﬂashing.

The LED light will ﬂash Green & Red while the interface programs the

radio to the steering wheel controls. Once programmed, the LED light will

go out, then produce a pattern which will identify the radio type installed

6. The LED light will go out, then once again quickly ﬂash Green & Red

while the interface programs itself to the vehicle. Once programmed,

the LED light will go out again, then turn solid Green.

7. Cycle the ignition off, then back on.

8. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation.

At the end of programming the LED light will turn solid Green which indicates programming was successful

•

If the LED light turned solid Red instead, this means programming has failed. Reset the interface and try again

•

If still no success after resetting and reprogramming the interface, refer to the Vehicle Troubleshooting document for

the interface.

CHANGING RADIO TYPE

AXTC SERIES

Integrate • Axxessinterfaces.com

The AXTC interface has the capability to assign (2) functions to a single button except for Volume Up and Volume Down.

This feature can be performed three different ways; through a Windows based computer using the Axxess Updater, through

the Axxess Updater app available from the Android/Apple mobile devices app store, or by following the steps below

Note: Apple mobile devices will require the use of the AX-HUB for this feature.

Attention! If more than 20 seconds elapses between steps, the procedure will abort, and the interface’s LED light

will go out. The interface may not function properly and may need to be reset and reprogrammed.

1. Program the interface to the vehicle following the vehicle specific document.

2. Turn the radio off.

3. Cycle the key off, then back on.

4. Wait until the interface’s light flashes Green one time then goes out.

5. Press and hold the Volume Down button on the steering wheel until the interface’s light turns solid Red,

then release. The light will then go out indicating that the interface is in Changing Radio Type mode.

6. Reference the Radio Legend for the radio number preferred.

7. Press and hold the Volume Up button on the steering wheel until the interface’s light turns solid Red, then

release. Radio number 1 has now been programmed. Repeat this step for the desired radio.

8. Once the desired radio has been selected, press and hold the Volume Down button on the steering wheel

until the interface’s light turns solid Red. The light will remain solid Red for 3 seconds while it stores the new

radio information. After the light goes out, turn the radio on and test the steering control wheel controls.

RADIO TROUBLESHOOTING

AXTC SERIES

Integrate • AxxessInterfaces.com

If the AXTC interface’s LED light didn’t go out at the end of the radio programming sequence, or showed the wrong radio installed*, follow the

steps below to trace down where the problem may lie. The final LED feedback light will also flash Red slowly or turn solid Red, instead of turning

solid Green. If any of the following steps are performed, reset and reprogram the interface per the vehicle specific document. Take note where

SWC is worded means Steering Wheel Control.

* Reference the Radio LED Feedback table at the end of this document.

The 3.5mm jack from interface should be plugged into the SWC Input from the radio. Make sure it isn’t

plugged into the Bluetooth Mic or AUX Input. If unsure which input to use, refer to the manual provided with

the radio, or contact the radio Manufacturer.

Note: Some radios use a wire an for SWC instead

Reference the Radio LED Feedback table. Boss, Clarion, and Eclipse have different radio types and the wrong

radio type may have been auto detected. Reference the Changing Radio Type document to change the radio

type. Also refer to the radio specific troubleshooting steps on the following page.

If all troubleshooting steps have been performed and the interface still doesn’t go solid

Green

at the end of

the final programming sequence, update the interface to the latest firmware, then try programming once

more. If the interface still doesn’t go solid

Green

, contact Tech Support at 1-800-253-TECH. Take note to

be prepared to perform some tests in the vehicle when you contact Tech Support, and have the Product ID
