1 The SK1 will only work with remotes that use a 38 kHz to 40 kHz carrier frequency. Please consult with the owner’s manual or
manufacture of the device to determine if the remote is compatible with the SK1.

M620, CDX-M670, CDX-CA850X, CDX-CA860X
2 IR Extended mode headunits: Pioneer AVX-P7300DVD, AVXP7000CD, AVXP7000, AVMP7000R, AVMP8000R, AVMP9000R,
GEXP7000TV, all Rockford Fosgate head units
Programming an ‘IR Mode’ After terminating the red and
black wire, the SK1 is ready to be programmed with a ‘IR
Mode’. Listed below is a list of known stereos that need to
have ‘IR Extended Mode’ selected during programming.
Go to next step ‘Programming Radio Commands’ if
the ‘IR Mode’ is already programmed.
A) While holding the ‘Program Mode’ button in, turn on the
ignition. At this point, both LED’s should be on. Release
the ‘Program Mode’ button and both LED’s will turn off.
B) Both LED’s will then light up and stay on for 3 seconds.
Press the ‘Program Mode’ button within the 3 seconds to
turn on ‘IR Extended Mode’, both LED’s will turn off. To
select ‘IR Standard Mode’, do not press the ‘Program
Mode’ button and wait for both LED’s to turn off after the
3 seconds.
C) Once programmed, the SK1 will keep the ‘IR Mode’ in
memory. If you accidently programmed the wrong ‘IR
mode’, turn off the ignition and go back to step A.
D) Turn off the ignition and go to ‘Programming Radio
Commands’ section.
Step A: Programming ‘IR Mode2’
Programming the SK1 to control the new aftermarket
head unit: First check that the IR remote that was supplied
with the new head unit works properly. If the remote does
not properly control the head unit, the interface cannot be
programmed. Weak batteries in the remote may cause
programming errors, even if the remote seems to operate
the stereo properly.
1) Turn on the ignition to supply power to the SK1.
2) Press the ‘Program Mode’ button to enter radio
command programming mode. Release the program
button when left LED light comes on.
3) Within 10 seconds, press and hold button #1. Continue
to hold button #1 until the left LED turns off. Release the
button and the right LED will turn on.
4) Hold the stereo’s IR remote control 3-4” from the ‘IR input’
port on the side of the SK1 and press the corresponding
function button. Continue to hold the remote’s button
until the right LED turns off. Release the remote button
and the left LED will turn on.
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 for button #2 and #3 in numerical
order, for the first mode. After button #3 is programmed,
the SK1 will automatically switch over to second mode
and you can program button #1, #2 and #3 for the next 3
functions by repeating step 3 and 4.
6) When programming is complete, both LED’s will flash 3
times. This indicates an automatic program exit. Do not
stop more than 7 seconds while programming or there
will be an automatic program exit and you will have
to start over at step number 1 above. Do not turn off
ignition before the automatic exit or you will be required
to start over at step 1 above.
Step B: Programming Radio Commands
1) Test the SK1 by holding it’s IR LED (Blue LED on the
end of 4’ lead) close to the stereo and verify that it works
properly by pressing the buttons on the shift knob. The
right LED will ash when it is sending an IR command.
Press the ‘Mode button’ once to switch to 2nd mode to
control the next 3 functions. The SK1 will automatically
revert back to the 1st mode, 2 seconds after there is no
button activity. The left LED will stay lit in 2nd mode and
turn off when it returns automatically to the 1st mode.
2) After you conrm operation of aftermarket stereo, you
may install the IR LED. Experiment with various locations
for mounting the IR LED. Try along the top front and /or
bottom of the stereo as well as it’s sides. You can also
try behind the dome light lens. The black LED bezel can
be removed by carefully prying on the two side clips and
pulling it off the LED. The bezel mounts from the front
panel while the led snaps into the bezel from behind the
panel.
3) The IR LED can be replaced with most common IR LED,
like Radio Shack’s # 276-143. The longest lead of the
IR LED connects to the red wire of the 4’ cable and the
short lead of the IR LED connects to the black wire.
Step C: Testing and placement of IR emitter
1st mode: 1 = Volume down, 2 = Volume up, 3 = Mute
2nd mode: 1 = Track down, 2 = Track up, 3 = Source
