Remapping the steering wheel control buttons

Let’s say you have BX-GM6 initialized and you want to change the button 

assignment for the steering wheel controls. For example, you would like 

“Seek-Up” to be “Mute”. Follow the steps below to remap the 

steering wheel control buttons:

Note:  

Volume Up, Volume Down, and PTT (OnStar) cannot be remapped. 

1)  Turn the key to ignition and then turn the radio on.

2)  Within the first 20 seconds, press and hold the “Volume-Up” button on the 

steering wheel until the L.E.D. goes solid.

3)  Release “Volume-Up”, the L.E.D. will then go out; “Volume-Up” 

has now been programmed.

4)  Follow the list in the Button Assignment Legend, to reference the order in which 

the steering wheel control buttons need to be programmed.

Note:

If the next function on the list is not on the steering wheel, press 

“Volume-Up” for 1 second until the L.E.D. comes on, and then release 

“Volume-Up”. This will tell the BX-GM6 that this function is not available and 

it will move on to the next function.

5)  To complete the remapping process, press and hold the “Volume-Up” button on 

the steering wheel until the L.E.D. in the BX-GM6 goes out.
