L.E.D. Feedback

The (15) red L.E.D. flashes represent what brand radio the BX-GM6 believes it is 

connected to. Each flash represents a different radio manufacturer. For example, 

if you are installing a JVC radio, the BX-GM6 will flash (5) times. Following is a 

legend that dictates which manufacturer corresponds to which flash.

* 

Note:

If the BX-GM6 flashes (7) times, and you do not have an Alpine radio 

connected to it, that means the BX-GM6 does not detect a radio connected it. Verify 
that the 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct steering wheel jack/wire in the radio.

Note:

Part number AX-SWC-PARROT is required (sold separately). Also, the Parrot 

radio must be updated to rev. 2.1.4 or higher through www.parrot.com.
