Output 1 will provide a 1 Amp, 12v+ output when the smart-device is linked via Bluetooth to the 
SteerBlue. This can be used as a remote turn on for an amplifier or to trip a 

NAV-TV VSW (not 

included)

  to  take  over  smart  device  control  instead  of  radio  control  (only  if  factory  or  a 

aftermarket radio is installed).  

The following diagram is laid out as an example of what 

could

 be programmed. When you program the SWC 

interface to learn the vehicle’s steering wheel buttons, you can set any button to do whichever function you 
choose (to some extent), therefore button operation will be very install-dependent.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SteerBlue Operation 

 

 

The SteerBlue can be paired to up to 8 different devices.  

 

Once accessory is present on the red accessory wire of the SteerBlue it will automatically look 
for the last device that was active. E.G. if an in dash tablet was last used with the device and 
functioning when the vehicle was turned off, the SteerBlue will first attempt to connect to this 
device when the ignition is turned on again. If this device is not present, the Bluetooth is not 
turned on in the device, or if the SteerBlue has been deleted from the device, the SteerBlue will 
look for other devices 

paired

 with the SteerBlue in order and, if within range, will automatically 

pair to the next Smartphone or Tablet (this function may take up to 60 seconds). 

 

While in use, the SteerBlue will stay connected to the paired device in use unless: 

o

 

 Bluetooth is turned off on the connected device, or 

o

 

 The SteerBlue device is deleted from the connected device.  

 

The SteerBlue will "wake up" the device if in sleep mode automatically upon Bluetooth 
connection. (It will not unlock the device if locked) 

 

To begin music playback on smart devices after Bluetooth connection, simply press the button 
assigned to the "SOURCE" command once.    

 

On Android devices it 

may

 be necessary to open the music or APP upon wakeup before the 

device can be controlled by the SteerBlue (device dependent, many Androids will begin playing
