ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Analogue learning head units often have two analogue inputs, both capable of
storing several taught resistive values. The CTSMARTLEAD takes advantage of the
dual channel input and converts the Connects2 steering wheel control output into
a format that will easily interface with any of the learning-style head units on the
market.
This means that you can now store all of the steering wheel buttons from your
vehicle’s steering wheel into your aftermarket radio.
Another benet that the CTSMARTLEAD offers is the ability to allow the program-
ming of scroll wheel buttons. Previously, this has always been impossible due to the
fact that the scroll wheel cannot be held down when prompted by the learning
head unit. The CTSMARTLEAD has a programming feature where it will allow the
hold of the scroll wheel buttons during the teaching process and then returned to
normal press function once it has been installed.
See “Installation Guide” overleaf for more information about how to set up the
CTSMARTLEAD.
