APPLICATION
For use with a Connects2 Steering Wheel Control Interface and Analogue Learning Head Unit
ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Analogue learning head units often have two analogue inputs, both capable of storing several taught resistive values. The CTSMARTLEAD takes advantage of the dual channel input and converts the Connects2 steering wheel control output into a format that will easily interface with any of the learning-style head units on the market.
This means that you can now store all of the steering wheel buttons from your vehicle’s steering wheel into your aftermarket radio.
Another benefit that the CTSMARTLEAD offers is the ability to allow the programming of scroll wheel buttons. Previously, this has always been impossible due to the fact that the scroll wheel cannot be held down when prompted by the learning head unit. The CTSMARTLEAD has a programming feature where it will allow the hold of the scroll wheel buttons during the teaching process and then returned to normal press function once it has been installed.
See “Installation Guide” overleaf for more information about how to set up the CTSMARTLEAD.
