Steering wheel audio control extra settings
L.E.D. feedback
The (16) Red L.E.D. flashes represent what brand radio the BX-CH3 believes it is
connected to. Each flash represents a different radio manufacturer. For example,
if you are installing a JVC radio, the BX-CH3 will flash (5) times. Following is a
legend that dictates which manufacturer corresponds to which flash.
L.E.D. feedback legend
1st L.E.D. flash is for Eclipse (Type 1) †
2nd L.E.D. flash is for Kenwood ‡
3rd L.E.D. flash is for Clarion (Type 1) †
4th L.E.D. flash is for Sony and Dual
5th L.E.D. flash is for JVC
6th L.E.D. flash is for Pioneer and Jensen
7th L.E.D. flash is for Alpine *
8th L.E.D. flash is for Visteon
* Note: If the BX-CH3 flashes (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio connected to
it, that means the BX-CH3 does not detect a radio connected it. Verify that the 3.5mm jack is
connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.
** Note: Part number 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.
† Note: 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.
‡ Note: If you have a Kenwood radio and the L.E.D. feedback comes back as showing as a JVC
radio, change the radio type to a Kenwood. The following section explains how to do this.
9th L.E.D. flash is for Valor
10th L.E.D. flash is for Clarion (Type 2) †
11th L.E.D. flash is for Metra OE
12th L.E.D. flash is for Eclipse (Type 2) †

Attention:
The Axxess Updater App can also be used to program the following (3)
sub-sections as well, pending that the interface has been initialized and programmed.
Changing radio type
If the LED flashes do not match the radio you have connected, you must
manually program the BX-CH3 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. on the BX-CH3 goes solid.
2) Release the Volume Down button; the L.E.D. will go out indicating we are now
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 off, 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.
