harness when placing order.

 

3.

 

Can I install the BLU-C5 without removing radio? 
YES; 

select 

PXHGM2

 harness when ordering. This harness connects to the 

factory 

pre-wired 10-pin plug in trunk/hatch

 (make sure your vehicle 

has this plug prior to ordering) 

4.

7.

 

Bluetooth plays fine until turn signal, headlights or wipers are 
switched on.

 

This issue has been reported by some C5 owners. This is due to vehicle 
power supply (

not a faulty module

). If Bluetooth playback is interrupted 

when an accessory (e.g. wiper motors etc.) is turned on, this indicates 
vehicle has a wiring issue. Relocate accessory wire (RED) to a circuit that 
does not get loaded down or seek professional help

.

 

8.

 

After installing everything, radio doe

s not go into “AUX” mode. What 

would cause this? 

If module dip-switches 3 and 8 were already set; the module was tested 
prior to shipping but if for some reason radio does not recognize the 
module 

and does not enter “AUX” Mode, 

then a reset may have 

them “talk” 

to each other. To reset radio/module follow these steps:  
1. disconnect the PXHGM4 or PXHGM2 installation harness from radio/ CD 
Changer 

or disconnect battery terminal 

2. Move all 8-

dip switches on module to “OFF” or U

3. Module and radio must remain disconnected for 45-60 minutes 
4. After time has expired, move dip-switches 

3 and 8

 

to “ON or down

 

5. Reconnect PXHGM4 or PXHGM2 harness to radio/cd changer or 
reconnect battery terminal 
6. Turn ignition/radio 

“ON”

, press CD AUX button on radio. If all went well, 

radio should now enter AUX Mode. 

Warning:

 Dip switches must be set prior to applying power. If power is 

applied prior to setting dip-switches, repeat steps 1-6

 

9.

 

Radio enters AUX mode, but there is nothing listed to which to pair. 
What would cause this? 

Turn ignition 

“ON” and check

 module to see if blue LED is flashing. If not 

flashing check red ACC wire (mentioned in step 6 above) for power. If using 
the Add-a-fuse circuit, check crimp integrity; often times a bad crimp may 
result in lack of power to module.
