Attention! The AX-ADCH03 will work with both the AX-ADBOX1 and AX-ADBOX2 interfaces,
but programming will be different. Refer to the proper page for whichever interface is being
used. Also note, the programming instructions for the AX-ADBOX2 reflect gen. 2. If installing a
gen. 1 AX-ADBOX2, refer to the AX-ADBOX1 programming instructions. Gen. 2 interfaces can be
distinguished by a blue reset button between the (2) connectors.
AX-ADBOX2
Installing the AX-ADCH03
With the key in the off position:
• Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the AX-ADCH03 harness, into the
interface.
• If an ASWC-1 (sold separately) will be used, do not connect it until the AX-ADCH03 is
programmed and fully functional.
Attention! Do not connect the AX-ADCH03 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle just yet.
Programming the AX-ADCH03
For the steps below, the L.E.D. located inside the interface can only be seen while active.
The interface does not need to be opened to see the L.E.D.
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Connect the AX-ADCH03 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle. The L.E.D. will
initially be Green to indicate the interface is powered.

INSTALLING & PROGRAMMING THE AX-ADCH03
3. After a few seconds the L.E.D. will turn on solid Red while the interface automatically
programs to the vehicle. The radio will shut off at this point. This process should take 5
to 30 seconds.
4. After the interface is programmed, the L.E.D. will turn on solid Green, and the radio will
come back on, indicating programming was successful.
5. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.
6. If the interface fails to function, refer to "Troubleshooting", "Resetting the interface".
Troubleshooting
Resetting the interface

button is accessible outside the interface, no need to open the interface.
2. Press and hold the reset button for two seconds, then let go to reset the interface.
3. Refer to "Programming the AX-ADCH03 Interface" from this point.
