Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Remote Control
The steering wheel remote control (standard/option) is directly connected to the steering wheel switch right (SWSR). The remote control can be used to change volume (increase/decrease) and change the set radio stations. During playback of CD or USB/iPod the buttons are used for track selection. The steering wheel switch right (SWSR) communicates with the infotainment control module (ICM) via the LIN bus. ICM then sends the signals on to the integrated audio module (IAM) via the MOST network.
