How to study steering wheel control for hyundai elantra 2012 navigation unit?

The setup and using of the steering wheel for the 2011/2012 Hyundai Elantra dvd player navigation head unit

s
While installing our 2012 Hyundai Elantra dvd player, if your 2011 or 2012 year Hyundai Elantra has the steering wheel control function, please operate as below steps:

1. There are 3 steering wheel control cables in the back of our unit, the black cable is the ground cable which is already integrated with our power plug, the other cables are marked as KEY1 and KEY2. Some Hyundai Elantra have onnly 2 cables.

Anyway, firstly, please find the ground steering wheel control cable of your car and see if it has been connected well with our black cable in the back of our hyundai elantra head unit. If the elantra has 3 cables, please connect the other 2 cables separately to any of the other two steering wheel control cables of our unit.

2. Please check the cables whether connect correctly, and then turn on the 2012 hyundai elantra dvd player navigation gps unit, touch the setup button on the right top of the interface to set it

3. Touch the wheel button to set the steering wheel control function

4. When it pop up the interface of steering wheel control, please touch the test button firstly, then you will see the sampling value A or B, this is the original information of your car.

5. Touch the cancel button to eliminate all the previous setup, remember, any time you want to change the setup, you have to touch this button.

6. Now you can study the steering wheel control, when you touch any of the function button, take Vol+ for example, the info bar will display “pls press the key”, this prompt you to press the key on your steering wheel which you want to define, then the info bar will display the value of the key, it means this key is sampled by our unit. Then you can study other keys till you finish all the keys of your steering wheel.

7. After you study all the keys, you have to touch the complete button to save your setup, otherwise, the setup will be invalid

8. If you don’t want to use the steering wheel control function, you can touch cancel button.

9. If you think some value of the keys are too similar, if they are very easy to confuse, you can exchange the 2 cables, change the steering wheel cable to the other steering wheel cable of our elantra unit, and study all the keys again

10. Some cars have only few keys on the steering wheel, maybe some keys on our units are not on your steering wheel, it doesn’t matter, you just need to study the keys on your steering wheel.
