Parental control
The multimedia system allows for
three varying levels of parental
control over rear-seat controls. By
simultaneously pressing the 3 and 5 buttons, the rear passengers may be
allowed to access FULL or LOCAL control or be LOCKED out of rear
seat controls altogether.
After the ignition has been turned on, the rear seat passengers have
FULL control over the audio system. This means that while in single play
mode, the rear seat passengers can fully control the audio system from
the rear controls (including volume, media selection and seek
adjustments).
Simultaneously press 3 and 5 to restrict the rear passengers control to
LOCAL media. While in dual play mode, this means that only media
which is played through the auxiliary input jacks, or media which has
been selected at the radio by the driver can be accessed by the rear
passengers. Press 3 and 5 a second time to LOCK the rear passenger
controls completely; all media access is removed from the rear
passengers. Press 3 and5athirdtimetocomplete the cycle and allow
full control to the rear passenger again.
To activate the rear seat radio controls:
•After the ignition has been turned
on, FULL rear controls are active
and the system is in single play
mode.
•Press the memory preset controls 3 and 5 at the same time. The word
LOCAL will illuminate in the radio display and on the rear display,
indicating that only LOCAL rear control is available.Note:While in
single play mode, LOCAL is the same as LOCKED. In dual play mode,
LOCAL allows control of media which the driver has selected at the
radio, or over media played through the rear auxiliary input jacks.)
•Press the 3 and 5 buttons a second time and the rear control will be
LOCKED (locked). In this state, the rear passenger is restricted from
control over media of any kind, the rear controls are disabled.Note:If

Do not use the Car2Usystem with any garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. Federal Safety
Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before
April 1, 1982).
Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future Car2Usystem programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the
programmed Car2Usystem buttons should be erased for security
reasons. Refer toErasing the Car2UHome Automation System
buttonslater in this section.
Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the
Car2Usystem. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have
another person assist you in programming the transmitter.
Additional Car2Usystem information can be found on-line at
www.learcar2U.com or by calling the toll-free Car2Usystem help line at
1-866-572-2728.
Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code)
The Car2UHome Automation System may be programmed to operate
rolling code and fixed code garage door openers.
•Rolling code garage door openers were produced after 1996 and are
code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every
time your remote control garage door opener is used.
•Fixed code garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed
code uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually
programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code.
If you do not know if your garage
door opener is a rolling code or
fixed code device, open your garage
door opener’s remote control battery
cover. If a panel of DIP switches is
present your garage door opener is
a fixed code device. If not, your
garage door opener is a rolling code
device.
Note:Programming the Car2Usystem to a community gate will require a
unique set of instructions depending on the gate system model. Contact
the Car2Uhelp line at 1-866-572-2728 to program your Car2Usystem.

Note:Accidentally entering the program mode may override previously
programmed buttons. This can happen by pressing and releasing the
outer two buttons, or all three buttons, simultaneously. If this happens,
do not press any button until the module times out after approximately
2.5 seconds and resets to normal mode. When time-out occurs, all three
LEDs will flash rapidly for a few seconds then turn off. Any settings
should remain as previously set.
Rolling code programming
Note:Programming the rolling code garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions. Read the entire procedure prior to beginning so
you will know which actions are time-sensitive. If you do not follow the
time-sensitive actions, the device will time out and you will have to
