Configuration & Programming

This is the fastest and most convenient way to

program the module. This method only requires you to
look up the dipswitches and wiring via the PC, Android
or Apple application, set the dipswitches and then
connect it to the vehicle/radio for it to function. Both
vehicle and radio dipswitch settings must be set
before the module is connected to the vehicle.

Manual Configuration Mode (continued)
With this method, the Autoleads CP2 uses a
pre-determined dipswitch configuration to assign the
vehicle and steering control button functionality. The
dipswitches on the side of the interface must be
manually set to the proper vehicle configuration by
the user. These vehicle specific dipswitch settings can
be found by downloading the Autoleads ControlPro
application from www.autoleads.co.uk/controlpro

If you wish to re-assign button functions or use short

press/long press dual command functionality, please

in which the application assigns the vehicle and
steering wheel button functionality. To configure using
a PC, the dipswitches on the side of the interface
must all be set to the down/on position which is
