Wires of Steering Wheel Remote Control
(SWRC)

Some main functions of this headunit can be
operated from your existing in-vehicle SWRC, if
available and suitable for usage. If your vehicle’s

SWRC is based on 2-wire RC-3 compatible
conguration, it can be directly connected to the

headunit’s pair of SWRC wires.

Please program the headunit to recognise



your vehicle's SWRC commands rst before

using.
You may need to turn on the SWRC inside



the SAM after programming. Please check
the SAM.

In case you are not sure of the steps, please
contact your dealer for assistance.

Wire of Telephone Mute

If your mounted hands-free car kit of your mo­bile phone provides a mute signal wire, you can
connect this wire to the headunit’s telephone
mute wire to enable automatic interruption of
the headunit’s sound output during an incoming
phone call.

Please ensure that both wires are secured



properly and not tensioned, otherwise any
strong vibration inside the vehicle will break
the contacts apart.
Please tape and cover the connection ends



to prevent any accidental short-circuit to the
in-vehicle metal chassis.

Wire of Remote Amplier

For certain models, there is a remote ampli-

er wire connected at the rear of the headunit.

Connect this wire to the “enable” signal of your

remote power amplier, and connecting the

Preamp Out to the audio input too.

Otherwise (if there is no remote amplier wire),
you might have to share the ‘[A5] Antenna con-

trol’ signal with the remote antenna.
Note: Check the current requirements of both

your remote amplier and remote antenna and
make sure they do not exceed 300 mA.

This headunit was designed to interface with dif­ferent types of hands-free kits that provide tel­ephone mute cables. Please read the instruction
manual of your hands-free kit on its mute logic
level (either mute-high or mute-low).

Navigate the SAM to select ‘TEL MUTE’.

1.
Turn the knob clockwise / anti-clockwise

2.
to toggle the logic level according to your
hands-free kit type.

Note: In the case that your headunit always
remains in ‘TEL MUTE’ mode, that is, sound
is muted, you can try to reverse the logic level
(e.g. from ‘TELM HI’ to ‘TELM LO’). If this still
does not work, perhaps your hands-free kit is
not compatible with this headunit and it is best to
turn the ‘TEL MUTE’ function to ‘TELM OFF’.

Brightness Control

This headunit comes with two levels of bright­ness level. To adjust the brightness:

Navigate the SAM to select ‘BRIGHTNESS’.

1.
Turn the knob clockwise / anti-clockwise to

2.
select the brightness level.

Illumination Colour

To allow best integration into your car dash­board, the headunit comes with three types
of colours scheme, namely Orange, Green or
Mixed of Orange and Green. To change the
illumination colour:

Navigate the SAM to select ‘COLOR’.

1.
Turn the knob clockwise / anti-clockwise to

2.
select the colour scheme.

Security LED

The blinking security LED can deter potential
theft of your headunit, even after your front panel
is removed. However, if you wish to save your
battery life, you can turn off this LED.

Navigate the SAM to select ‘LED’.

1.
Turn the knob clockwise / anti-clockwise to

2.
turn on or off the blinking LED.

Speed Dependent Volume Control
(SDVC)

To compensate for surrounding noise, this func­tion automatically increases the volume of the
headunit with respect to the car’s speed. There
are two compensation levels selectable from the
SAM. Level 1 gives a smaller increase (in vol­ume) and level 2 gives a higher increase.

Calibration

CAUTION: To avoid unnecessary dis­traction, we advise that this procedure
be carried out with the assistance of
somebody else (front passenger).

While the car is stationary, press-and-hold

and “50 KM/H” alternatively.

Within 30 seconds, drive your car to 50 km/h

3.
(about 30 mph).

Important note: Always obey the Highway Code
and the current trafc restrictions and conditions!

4. Once the speed is reached, short-press the

button and you will hear a beep and the

display will show “CALIB OK”.

5. Turn off and then turn on your headunit again
and level 1 of the SDVC is automatically
selected.

Note: This headunit’s SDVC works on frequen­cy-based signal (PCM) rather than on width­based signal (PWM). Some vehicles come with
PWM signals and are therefore not compatible
with this SDVC function.

Steering Wheel Remote Control
(SWRC)

This headunit is specially designed with a pro­grammable Steering Wheel Remote Control
(SWRC) to suit your car built-in SWRC as much
as possible.

Important note: This function supports SWRCs

that are based on analogue RC3-standard

only. Other SWRCs, especially those based on

CAN-bus, are not supported. For these SWRCs,

please consult your dealer for a suitable con­verter, if available.

While the car is stationary, press-and-hold

please disabled them by selecting “-DIS-

buttons for more than 2 seconds.

Important Note: In the case that you did not
disable the unwanted SWRC buttons, due to the
complexity of the programming to cater to most
types of SWRC, the headunit may recognise an
unwanted key-press on your SWRC as one of
the valid input.
