Radio Setup

When replacing a DE 100 series radio, two procedures have to be completed with the scan tool to properly configure the replacement radio to the vehicle. With the key in the ON position, use a scan tool to perform the New Vin procedure and the Radio Setup procedure to set up communications between the radio and the vehicle.

1 At the Main Menu screen, select Diagnostics.
2. At the Vehicle Identification screen, select the following options:
2.1. Model Year
2.2. LD Trk, MPV, Incomplete
3. At the System Selection Menu screen, select Body.
4. At the Vehicle Identification screen, select U or X (Platform type).
5. At the Body screen, select Radio.
6. At the Radio screen, select Special Functions.
7. At the Special Functions screen, select Radio Setup.
8. Select the appropriate radio. Uplevel Radio is anything other than the Base AM/FM Radio.

IMPORTANT: The Radio Setup option does not contain a submenu. Radio Setup will configure the following systems:

^ Steering wheel controls
^ Learn VIN

^ Class 2 radio messages

After the completion of the Radio Setup procedure, return to the Special Functions screen and select the New Vin procedure and continue.
