Steering wheel audio control extra settings

L.E.D. feedback

The (16) Red L.E.D. flashes represent what brand radio the BX-GM8 believes it is
connected to. Each flash represents a different radio manufacturer. For example, if you
are installing a JVC radio, the BX-GM8 will flash Red (5) times, and then stop. Following
is a legend that dictates which radio manufacturer corresponds to which flash.
L.E.D. feedback legend
1 flash - Eclipse (Type 1) †
2 flashes - Kenwood ‡
3 flashes - Clarion (Type 1) †
4 flashes - Sony / Dual
5 flashes - JVC
6 flashes - Pioneer / Jensen
7 flashes - Alpine *
8 flashes - Visteon
* Note: If the BX-GM8 flashes Red (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio connected to
it, that means the BX-GM8 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: BX-GM8 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.
9 flashes - Valor
10 flashes - Clarion (Type 2) †
11 flashes - Metra OE
12 flashes - Eclipse (Type 2) †
13 flashes - LG
14 flashes - Parrot **
15 flashes - XITE
16 flashes - Philips

The Axxess Updater App can also be used to program the following (3)
sub-sections as well, pending that the interface has been initialized.

Changing radio type

If the L.E.D. flashes do not match the radio you have connected, you must manually
program the BX-GM8 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 BX-GM8 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 (next page) 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, and 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 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.
