3. The L.E.D. will initially turn on solid Green, then turn off for a few seconds while it auto
detects the radio installed.
4. The L.E.D. will then flash Red up to (18) times indicating which radio is connected to the

5. 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.
6. 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.
.
7. Cycle the key off, then back on. If the driver’s door is closed, open and close the door.
8. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.
9. If the interface fails to function, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
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.
1. With the vehicle and radio turned on, turn the volume up 3/4 of the way.
2. With a small flat-blade screwdriver, adjust the potentiometer clockwise to raise the audio

L.E.D. feedback
The (18) Red L.E.D. flashes represent the radio the AXDIS-HK4 interface believes it’s connected
to. Each flash represents a different radio Manufacturer. For example, if you are installing a JVC
radio, the AXDIS-HK4 interface will flash Red (5) times, and then stop. Following is a legend that
dictates which radio Manufacturer corresponds to which flash.

Changing radio type
If the L.E.D. flashes do not match the radio you have connected, you must manually program
the AXDIS-HK4 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 AXDIS-HK4 interface goes solid.
2. Release the Volume Down button; the L.E.D. will go out indicating the AXDIS-HK4 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.

Remapping the steering wheel control buttons
Once the AXDIS-HK4 interface has been programmed, the button assignment for the steering
wheel controls may be reassigned if so desired. For example, if Seek Up is preferred to be Mute
instead. Follow the steps below to remap the steering wheel control buttons.
1. Ensure that the AXDIS-HK4 interface is visible so you can see the L.E.D. flashes to confirm
button recognition.
Tip: Turning the radio off is recommended.
2. Within the first twenty seconds of turning the ignition on, press and hold the Volume Up
button on the steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid.
3. Release the Volume Up button, the L.E.D. will then go out. The Volume Up button has now
been programmed.
4. Follow the list in the Button Function Legend to reference the order in which the steering
wheel control buttons need to be programmed.
Note: If the next function on the list is not present on the steering wheel, press the Volume
Up button for (1) second until the L.E.D. comes on to skip that function, then release the
Volume Up button. This will tell the AXDIS-HK4 interface that this function is not available,
and to move on to the next function.
5. To complete the remapping process, press and hold the Volume Up button until the L.E.D. in
the AXDIS-HK4 interface goes out.
