Select Radio
• To show which brand radio is "auto detected" to the interface, press the "Autodetect"
button. The radio detected will have a filled in circle. If the incorrect radio is shown,
select the proper radio.
• Following is a list of radio manufacturers that the interface presently acknowledges.
Others may be added at a later date. Universal "2 or 3 wire" radios can show up as any of
these radio manufacturers.
Eclipse (Type 1) † JVC
Kenwood ‡ Pioneer/Jensen
Clarion (Type 1) † Alpine *
Sony / Dual Visteon
Valor
STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SETTINGS
Clarion (Type 2) † Parrot **
Metra OE XITE
Eclipse (Type 2) † Philips
LG JBL
(CONT.)
* Note: If the interface shows an Alpine radio, and you do not have an Alpine radio, that means
the interface does not detect a radio connected it, i.e., an open connection. Verify that the 3.5mm
jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.
** Note: The 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.
‡ Note: If you have a Kenwood radio and the touchscreen display shows a JVC radio, change the
radio type to Kenwood.
