Sport Mode Memory, Remote Start Climate Restore, Steering Wheel Control (SWC) swap, EQ Presets and three 

programmable 12v outputs.

Set DIP switches to the ON position that correspond with the features you 

want to add. Feature DIP switches (1-3) must be set before connecting the 

interface to the vehicle harness.

    a.     DIP switch 4 - Turning ON DIP switch 4 will allow you to access the 

           Feature Settings Menu to turn additional features On / Off. 

    b.     Please see Page 6 titled “BCI Feature Menu Table” for a full list and    

           description of each of the BCI features.

2. 

Remove the factory radio and disconnect the factory harness(es). 

3. 

Connect the factory harness into the female connector on the BCI-CH41 

harness.

4. 

Connect  the  aftermarket  reverse  camera’s  video  output  to  the  female 

camera input located on the radio side of the BCI-CH41 harness. If you 

are  also  adding  blind  spot  and  /  or  a  front  camera,  the  VS41  must  be 

used (sold separately). See page 4 for VS41 wiring. You can also use any 

universal video switcher and utilize the programmable outputs to trigger as 

necessary.

If you are adding an additional A/V input:

 

Connect the A/V outputs from the source to the Rear Media inputs on the radio side of the

 

BCI-CH41 harness. If you have more than one source, the AVS21 must be used (sold separately).

Both LEDs will blink green while the module is initializing. Once initialized, one LED will begin to blink green. If the LED blinks red, there 

is a problem with the data connection to the factory radio.

11. 

At this point you will need to turn the ignition off and wait one minute for the vehicle to go to sleep. After one minute, turn the ignition back 

on and proceed to the next step.

12. 

Once the module has initialized you can access the Feature Settings Menu to turn on the features you want and set the programmable 

outputs. Please note that DIP switch 4 must be turned on in order to access the Feature Settings menu. 

       See page 6 entitled “BCI Feature Menu Table” for a full list and description of each of the features and programmable outputs.

The module can be reset to factory default settings by pressing and holding the Programming button (on the side of the module) for 5 

seconds. When pressing and holding the button, both LEDs will blink red while the module is resetting. Once reset, both LEDs will blink
