Consult the application guide (separate sheet) or visit the PAC website for the most current list of compatible vehicles.
Check the red wire connection and fuse, and make sure the interface is connected to switched +12 V, not constant +12 V, with the ignition on.
Press and release the programming/mode button the same number of times as the desired version number; the LED will flash to confirm.
During programming, press the steering‑wheel button firmly until the left LED turns off; releasing too early causes the interface to send a signal continuously.
