Programming Universal Home
Remote—Fixed Code
For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote
System, call 1-866-572-2728 or
go to www.learcar2u.com.
Most garage door openers sold
before 1996 are Fixed Code units.
Programming a garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so
read the entire procedure before
starting. Otherwise, the device will
time out and the procedure will have
to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. To verify that the garage door
opener is a Fixed Code unit,
remove the battery cover on the
hand-held transmitter supplied
by the manufacturer of the
garage door opener motor.
If there is a row of dip switches
similar to the graphic above,
the garage door opener is a
Fixed Code unit. If you do not
see a row of dip switches,
return to the previous section for
Programming Universal Home
Remote —Rolling Code. Your hand-held transmitter
can have between 8 to 12 dip
switches depending on the
brand of transmitter.
The garage door opener receiver
(motor head unit) could also
have a row of dip switches that
can be used when programming
the Universal Home Remote.
If the total number of switches
on the motor head and
hand-held transmitter are
different, or if the dip switch
settings are different, use the
dip switch settings on the
motor head unit to program
the Universal Home Remote.
The motor head dip switch
settings can also be used when
the original hand-held transmitter
is not available.

Infotainment System 7-25
Playing a CD (in Either the
DVD or CD Slot)
If the ignition or radio is turned off
with a CD in the player, it stays in
the player. When the ignition or
radio is turned on, the CD starts
playing where it stopped, if it was
the last selected audio source.
The CD is controlled by the buttons
on the radio faceplate or by the RSA
unit. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA)
System on page 7‑50 for more
information. The DVD/CD decks
(the upper slot is the DVD deck and
the lower slot is the CD deck) of the
radio are compatible with most
audio CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs,
and MP3s.
When a CD is inserted, the text tab
DVD or CD symbol displays on
the left side of the radio display.
As each new track starts to play,
the track number displays. The CD player can play the smaller
8 cm (3 in) single CDs with an
adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the same
manner.
DVD/CD AUX (Auxiliary):
Press to cycle through DVD, CD,
or Auxiliary when listening to the
radio. The DVD/CD text tab and a
message showing the track or
chapter number will display when
a disc is in either slot. Press the
DVD/CD AUX button again and the
system automatically searches for
an auxiliary input device; see
Auxiliary Devices on page 7‑34
for
more information. If a portable audio
player is not connected, “No Aux
Input Device” displays. If a disc is in
both the DVD slot and the CD slot,
the DVD/CD AUX button cycles
between the two sources and does
not indicate “No Aux Input Device.” If a front auxiliary device is
connected, the DVD/CD AUX
button cycles through all available
options, such as: DVD slot, CD slot,
Front Auxiliary, and Rear Auxiliary
(if available). See
“Using the
Auxiliary Input Jack” inAuxiliary
Devices on page 7‑34 or“Audio/
Video (A/V) Jacks” underRear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) System on
page 7‑40 for more information.
If a disc is inserted into the top DVD
slot, the rear seat operator can turn
on the video screen and use the
remote control to navigate the CD
(tracks only) through the remote
control.

Tracks are played in the following
order:
.Play begins from the first track in
the first playlist and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last
track of the last playlist has
played, play continues from the
first track of the first playlist.
.Play begins from the first track
in the first folder and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each folder. When the last track
of the last folder has played,
play continues from the first
track of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the
display does not automatically show
the new folder name unless the
folder mode has been chosen as
the default display. The new track

The song name that displays is the
song name that is contained in the
ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the
radio displays the file name without
the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or 4 pages are
shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the file name do not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that
were created using WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed; however,
they cannot be edited using the
radio. These playlists are treated
as special folders containing
compressed audio song files.
Playlists that have an .m3u or .pls
file extension and are stored on a
USB device may be supported by
the radio with a USB port.

Rear Seat
Infotainment
Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) System
The vehicle may have a DVD Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) system.
The RSE system works with the
vehicle's audio system. The DVD
player is part of the front radio.
The RSE system includes a radio
with a DVD player, a video display
screen, audio/video jacks, two
wireless headphones, and a remote
control. SeeCD/DVD Player on
page 7‑23 for more information on
the vehicle's CD/DVD player.
Before Driving
The RSE is designed for rear seat
passengers only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while
driving and should not try to do so. In severe or extreme weather
conditions, the RSE system might
not work until the temperature is
within the operating range. The
operating range for the RSE system
is above
−20°C (−4°F) or below
60°C (140°F). If the temperature of
the vehicle is outside this range,
heat or cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating
range of the RSE system.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a
Parental Control feature, depending
on which radio the vehicle has.
To start Parental Control, press and
hold the radio power button for more
than two seconds to stop all system
features such as: radio, video
screen, Rear Seat Audio (RSA),
DVD, and/or CD. While Parental
Control is on, a padlock icon
displays. The radio can be turned back on
with a single press of the power
button, but the RSE system will
remain under Parental Control.
To turn Parental Control off, press
and hold the radio power button for
more than two seconds. The RSE
returns from where it was previously
left and the padlock icon disappears
from the radio display.
Parental Control can also be turned
off by inserting or ejecting any disc,
pressing the play icon on the radio
DVD display menu, or changing an
ignition position.

Replacement” later in this section. Objects blocking the line of sight
could also affect the function of the
remote control.
If a CD or DVD is in the Radio DVD
slot, the remote control
O(power)

sunlight can damage it, and the
repairs will not be covered by the
warranty. Storage in extreme cold
can weaken the batteries. Keep
the remote control stored in a
